Ten games into a season is often a solid indicator of where a team are at. Heimir Hallgrimsson’s 10th game in charge was a sobering moment.
Even taking into consideration the end-of-season angle, it demonstrates to me there’s an awful lot of development required from this group and there’s barely any time left to do it. Luxembourg was a struggle for our players, and a struggle to watch. It was incredibly frustrating.
