I am not sure maybe in blinded hope that we'd be closer to the tittle after how close we were last season...
Sorry I'm not getting you mate.
Are you saying that it was just 'blind hope' [and not the fact that we were told that any and all players we bought were specifically targeted because they were the right player and a proper fit (not just names)] which led many of us to believe it would take less time for these players to gel?
Because if you are (and I can only answer for myself here) you are wrong - I might have been a mug to have believed that but I don't do 'blind hope'.
some may not want to admit we might not get closer this season.
Hmm..
There's been an awful lot of double-speak on these boards - an awful lot of folk saying how happy they were/are with our signings and how they'd improve us but very little talk of us winning anything.
So in a way, you are right; "some may not want to admit we might not get closer this season" [tho' by "closer" you probably mean "do as well as last season"] but I'd add that they also don't want to be honest as to why, deep down, they believe that.
The fact is: if 'we' were genuinely happy with our signings; if we genuinely believed that not only were they chosen because they fit but also because they were 'improvers', then 'we' wouldn't be making
any excuse [well in advance by the way] as to why this team, with all our new and better signings won't improve on last season.
But we have strengthened there is no doubt about it so when the team does gel, we will be that step closer.
I think there's plenty of doubt that we have strengthened mate; hence the excuses. What there's no doubt about is that not many have the balls to say it out loud.
