Ha!

Well yes, there was a definite drop-off in the performance of the whole team in the second half of the season, and whether you blame it more on the departure of Saunders or the loss of a creative player in Crowley, the remaining coaching team clearly didn't have the answers. I can see why Alves might still have a supporting role at the club, but whatever he brought to the coaching set-up didn't improve us (or even maintain previous performance levels) after Christmas.
