So now if you think its too early to say if the team is improving or not, fair enough....then its logical to withhold your praise/critisim to Taklu for now.
But if you think the team is improving, then Taklu deserve his share of praise, unless of course if your logic is completely blinded by your dislike of Taklu.

Agreed. On that note, I think the conclusion can be drawn that Ash's captaincy period can be attributed to the stagnant/negative period. Whether it was Ash's captaincy, his relationship with Siddons or the players motivation to follow Ash is up for debate but Ash's removal as capt. appears to have been a necessity for us to move forward.
