next year this would read (chronologically): 6th 7th 6th 2nd (THIS SEASON'S FINISH)
And unfortunately I don't think that this season is going to end well for us. So that 2nd place is going to look like quite the aberration. Also, right now, our team easily looks worse than it has during any part of those 5 years. I'll also point out that our 3 best players this season (Wootton, Kosta, Sutton) are out of contract at the end of the season (Payne and Rufer excluded due to the time they've been out). These are very bleak times. mjp2
Last five years: 2nd 3rd 6th twice and 7th.
We've grossly overperformed relative to someone's claim we don't aim for top 4? We need to spend less money so we average 6th and neatly just meet our claimed aspiration?
Objectively, someone isn't being objective.
This club under Welnix has only just, in those last five years, got their academy based strategy fully up and running. Prior to that we had all sorts of hamstrings imposed on us by the League. And by Serepiso's demise.
In the time that I think you can say Welnix has been fully up and running and unencumbered by the threat of being evicted from the League, we've come 2nd and 3rd over five years. And barely finished once in the bottom half. In pretty adverse circumstances for two of the five years.
So sure, we'd all like to win the thing. Shark happens. You don't win the A League with the number of injuries we've had this season.
I get we'd all like to win the thing. Surprisingly that's difficult.
