We were always punching above our weight at the start of the season. Reality is kicking in and we are moving towards our true position in the league. Dont think we should be slating the team too much for pretty much overacheiving and finding things more difficult now. We always new the defence was a problem. If we had started the season more poorly something might have been changed in that area. Player selection is the problem. I feel sorry for players if they are doing their best (so long as they are) but have been put in a position they cant deal with.

Who's responsibility is it to sign the correct players pre season and then use the necessary combinations and systems mid season?

It depends on what good looks like for you? Realistically, we are unlikely to ever win the league with our current set up.
That is no dig at the owners and board but more a reflection of the fact we represent a provincial town and local area. Unless we were to follow the model of the Green Bay Packers and some football teams in Europe where they engage fully with the local area.
Making the play offs, winning the majority of games against the other Scottish teams and improving on last year's league position would be brilliant for me.
