Same here. If we're going to go for a more possession based game, we're not going to get our current players suddenly upping their passing accuracy stats. Our wingers aren't suddenly going to create more chances for our forwards. Our strikers aren't suddenly going to make better runs or become better finishers.
I disagree slightly with Harris in his assessment that there's more to come from this group. I think it was a professional comment designed as a pat on the back. Last night's win came as a result of reverting more to Warnockball than our more recent passing game. If there is to be a change of approach, it needs a change of personnel.
