I will always support the players but the management does not deserve the Union fanbase or supporters. I cannot hear Jim say “it hurts” again. I am beginning to think it hurts is code for “management is giving nothing”. the talented kids are carrying too much weight (even if it means a level up like you wrote with Jack McG and Quinn). They aren’t developing consistency as fast as they would under less pressure because it is largely “up to them”. The talented consistent players are fewer and farther between than ever and the lack of spending to bring in support for them opens the door to more injuries and constant losses to burnout. I read some complaints about closing out the game. We learned how to do that a few years ago but youth lacking consistency and fatigue from no defensive (or other meaningful subs takes us back to where we don’t ever want to be again. I have been watching U2, agree that Makhanya should get some minutes. He looks more confident, he has a set piece header at that level and has made some smart defensive plays. Thanks for a space to vent.
