missions, marriages, transfers, injuries - lots of interruptions can affect the
future. Plus, technical ability or physical ability doesn't necessarily substantially increase from year-to-year in soccer. Sometimes these players who have already been playing seriously for 5+ years are already approaching a plateau in their technical ability or in their athletic ability.
I'll be a fan for our future teams, but if some of the players getting big minutes this season are still getting big minutes next season then I don't expect us to necessarily be that much better the next few seasons.
Also, will have Fryer, Bailey, and Vance as seniors next season. Those three together have provided 66% of our total goals this season. So not sure it works at this point to predict huge success 3 seasons down the road.
