I didn’t say everything is fine. We’re 24th from 24. My overall point is things will take time to gel. People need to settle in, learn the patterns and the rhythms and the systems. I just feel there is a sense of hysteria on this message board and elsewhere.
And I think Carrick is probably a victim of his own success in that we flew up the league last season and completely blindsided everyone. Expectations went through the roof and now everything we do is judged against that, despite it being a new season and a dozen new players. You have to give people time to work, to make mistakes and learn from them. Including Carrick. It’s his first job. He needs time and patience.
