Its going to be a long slog as usual. Let's face it really, we wouldn't have it any other way being saints fans!!
As for the crap players I'm not being funny but we aren't going to have a great pick of 'better players but may sometimes find a rare gem amongst the load that released elsewhere. What doesn't help is we don't have players of value that can provide club with the finances to increase budgets.
Tactics and performance, well we still don't have the players capable of the wingback play. Never have never will.
Stick to something sensible like 442.
And keep hands away from sight when in own penalty area😉
