Not sure if its a valid concern, I do think we see an offensive decline. For a couple reasons. Hartley was up tempo, risky, high flying offense. It was entertaining af. It sacrificed defense and poor possession. By default, I believe we take a step back be it exciting offense, actual offense. That unfortunately will draw attention. It's also gonna suck if its compounded by Gaudrea missing time and Gulutzan's system takes unnecessary flak because of it. I feel there is a recipe for disaster here. I hope I'm wrong. I think Gulutzan's system will be 1000x better defensively though and lead to winning more games. Just think it will be criticized unfairly for a step back offensively. I could be wrong, until I see more of it, maybe it leads to more goals...
