increase job support team
It's our job to support him, increase the talent, so he can be on a better team and become a better player. And the better we get, the better he is going to be.
Even with the win, it would have still been tight. Most likely, we're out of it.

It's a great lesson for us. We can play with this team. We've proved that. But they've been through so much in the past three years, they can't be shaken. We've been together for one month and things shake us.
