The team played lights out when they tried hard. Even in the not so popular GG system. In the end effort trumps skill most of the time.

We need someone to get these guys to play with effort and develop some kind of an identity as a team. Gulutzan hasn't been able to do that, but in fairness to him, we dont know if he even tried. He may not see it as a big issue.

More skill would help too. Of course. But in the end that skill needs to be pushed to play at a 100%.
