Better. Not great but better.
Would a senior player or one of the local lads coming out with "I get it. Life is hard. Football gets you supporters through that. That's why this club means so much to you. That's why I feel so bad we all let you down. That's I'll do what I can to get the club back to the big time." make me happy? Maybe, but in 3 weeks time it won't matter. It'll be all about when are we playing Cov etc.
These are young lads. I'm sure they'll look back when they retire and admit their mistakes. Hard to do in the moment when you have limited life experience and your job requires you to have massive levels of self belief.
