You exaggerate lah. Top 4 with this squad should be a minimum.
Our form player for the last 4 years used up his form and is going into overdrive. Our current form player isn't exactly a team lifter on his own yet. And the rest are not consistent and still figuring out how to follow the manager's style but yet press ahead correctly. And the dreaded "departmental jinx" is somewhat back. And a "star" player deciding he can prance around however he feels like.
And 2 newbie assistant managers. Really, regardless how good a player was, or how good a coach is with the youth team, it doesn't necessarily translate into coaching the first team, as we've seen. But he appointed them (or agreed to appoint them), so he can't now replace them. Let's hope it all works out better in the long term and we can look back and say "thankfully we gave them their chance to assist JoseM".
