I've seen enough from Gardos to think he can step it up and be very good for us. Yoshida looked quite shaky at times in his first season, and he got a LOT more game time than Gardos has.
People need to get used to the new SFC mentality...we give players a few years to come good. Youth players will be staying with us now till 20-22 rather than being binned at 17/18. It's a much better system and a brighter future.
