Now that our 24/25 campaign is over, i can conclude that this season we got really lucky.
Before the season started, i wanted the team to get to a cup final and get champions league placing. And they did both. As much as i wanna say we did well this season, i don't think we did. I think we were slightly better than last season but we were not great. We were kinda like a mid chelsea, keep scamming wins but obviously we don't have squad depth and a decent manager, so we couldn't do it against the big teams. I think we had like 5 games where we actually played well. There were so many games where it looked like the only good moments were the goals we scored, like the leicester game where we were lucky they were not clinical because we were so exposed. It was obvious as well we had the tendency to sit back after we score one or two goals, which i don't think how ambitious squads should act.
We were also pretty lucky with the cup draws until the semis. You cannot deny we had one of the easiest paths. Defeating citeh at their home ground twice is pretty impressive tho, i'll give them credit for that. Even though again, we were lucky their key players were injured and thus, us getting third pretty easily.
I'm complaining a lot, aren't i? It's just that i know the team can do so much better than what they displayed the whole season. We had good upgrades in the summer but little improvement shown. And i'm gonna blame it 99% on dumbfuck, but winning mentality should be within the players.
Anyway what's done is done. I hope we get rid of dumbfuck this summer (wishful thinking), hope the girls have fun and stay uninjured in the new sevens tourney and we have a great summer window.
