You look at the current squad and you've got some building blocks (van de vyn, simons, romero, odobert, tell, moore) who have a lot of good football ahead of them. The front office has obviously decided to go for a rebuild and not bring in Premier League ready players anytime soon. The manager they have is suited, by his history, to developing that young core group. Where it is not coming together is the injuries and the team not being honest with fans about lies ahead. It's arguably a reasonable way to go and lurching off in some other direction only makes sense if you're willing to throw a huge sum of money at your problems and bring in a world class manager. The second half of the season will be better than the first, but it will be a step forward and not a leap.
