Unfortunately, defensive howlers / lapses of concentration meant that the leads we held in every match (bar the frigging Ireland ones and TWO away in Austria) were continually thrown away.

This shows a mental fragility and not enough quality at the back. Taylor looks past his best already unfortunately, Williams isn't far off that either.

We might indeed need a new manager for a different approach and to not be too attached to the 'old guard'.

Yes, Euro 16 was absolutely magical, and no-one will ever forget it, but we need to start qualifying more regularly.
