As a team we are playing a bit inconsistent. Mainly because of our youth and perhaps lack of game experience. As the season progresses I expect us to not only improve individually but also as a team. We have made a lot of adjustments this year to our personnel and it has been a learning curve for everyone. I genuinely like my team and feel we have very good chemistry so it is really a matter of consistency now.
