The management spent much of the season talking about "the group" as a long term project. Clearly, had we failed to get promoted, we'd have yet another season of churn and yet another "group" to develop next season. As it is we may be fortunate enough to keep a few, but if Mooney's gone then I'm not holding out much hope for the rest.
What was the point of assembling a deliberately youthful side only to see anyone with any promise depart after one season? I thought one of the reasons we adopted hybrid was to try and break that annual cycle of building a new side essentially from scratch...
