As soon as Sam went down, I was fairly convinced that was it for us. A few wins maybe. I wasn't expecting much, just hoping that we could play some good football.
I knew that the playoffs were a long long shot, but what I was more concerned about was that this new young team wouldn't "know how to win" and close games out from winning positions, ready for next year when sam is back.
Thanks to Clemens, this team has continued its upward trend from when sam got injured... He knows the team well, has got the trust and love from his teammates, and he's surprised many (myself included) with his range of passing. As well as being a real nice guy and tough as hell.
Fair play to him, he's done an amazing job in difficult circumstances. I think he's earned the right to stick around next year.
Salute
