You are not going to replace the euphoria from last year, because you're not coming off a year of complete dysfunction from the coaching and management.
The thrill is gone; the honeymoon is over. Now it's get down to the business of building a winning club that can do it day in, day out.
So no, I don't think Wak was 'reading' last year's team any better than this year's. i just think it's a different team and a different vibe.
