Saying we throw in the towel was a poor choice of words, but credit for admitting it.
Is this a mentally weak team? Well maybe but I would say the operative word is 'team'.
I agree they haven't become a cohesive team yet.
They are getting there, it's painfully slow, but don't you think the new players, new spine, not to mention weekly changes to the new spine, have slowed down this process?
It was never going to happen overnight but I still think it will happen, merely my opinion of course.
