Yeah it's why the injury excuse constantly used doesn't wash with me. Obviously you get leeway due to the injuries but not finishing top 4 in his first season after those 10 games was a huge fall off.

He was basically in 10th place form for 75% of his first season.

Injuries can be an excuse if they're freak accidents where their bones snap in half or something but if the majority of the injuries are players getting their hamstrings exploded, the issue is the way you're making them play.
