There was a markedly different feel and playing style which was a result of the coach last year. The system that he has implemented and the players buy in approach, along with the Gio's captaincy is the perfect environment win or lose for young players to develop in. Establishing and maintaining this is more important than wins or losses at this point.
I don't think, based on the makeup of the team, that anyone can say last season was a disaster. In fact, I enjoyed watching the opposing team who were coming in with the mentality of a night off scramble on many occasions!
