He believes that the team should continue building on the progress made so far, emphasizing the importance of sticking to their initial plan. Postecoglou explained that the team had a clear vision from the start, including the type of players they wanted to sign and the squad's age profile.

The manager acknowledged that European competition can be challenging, but he doesn't think it should change the team's strategy. He noted that the additional games in Europe can put extra strain on the squad, but he remains committed to the team's current direction.

Postecoglou is confident in the team's young players and believes they will continue to improve. However, he acknowledges that injuries and the team's ability to cope with a heavy fixture list have been challenges this season. He feels that being in European competition next year would actually help the team in these areas.
