Isn't the problem that fundamentally they are "good" players but not a "team". Happens loads in football.
That's correct, a group of talented players rarely make a good team. You need a mix with a good sprinkling of leaders and grafters who will stop at nothing to get a result. Scunny are a good example, okay they do have quality and pace also but they are a resolute team and know how to get results. How many times this season have they been thrashed??
