Supporters don’t run the club
Opinions are like hole, everyone has one but unless you are a decision maker yours is like gas in the wind
True but ultimately the decision makers will be judged by results. 2016 being the obvious example which lead to a cleanout of the assistant coaches due to them running out of ideas.
While we have no say, that doesn't stop people questioning and starting to lose faith in various aspects within the football dept. such as fitness and conditioning, recruiting and list management, and match committee decisions. Standards have dropped and there's a 2016-like malaise to this year. It won't come from us supporters because we have no input as you say Chucky, but the Club needs a kick up the pants. A refresh shouldn't be just limited to a new senior coach.
To answer your question about what we were expecting from team selection, I'd guess for most people it was seeing some new ideas and experimentation under a caretaker coach because pretty much picking the same team every week isn't working anyway especially up forward.
