Half-season but how to keep form?

Well here's the deal you will see by the screenshots that we managed to end up 3rd at half-season However things were pretty rocky the first 9 games in which I lost maybe 4-5 games, then the second quarter of the season was absolutely amazing for us and picked up a lot of wins and even won the Challenge Cup.

I have no idea how this good form happened though. I had the constantly feeling during the first quarter that we are playing well but losing unluckily and I guess it was correct. I wonder now how do we keep the good form going. As you can see most of them are pretty young since I had to snap them on free transfer but at the same time they've been with the club for 2nd or a few of them even for a 3rd year.

No point trying to get to the SPL with that team though, even if we make it we will be right back. But then again what strategy can be employed here?

Any suggestions and tips welcome and highly appreciated!

ahh the manchester united way "slow to start strong to finish". I feel the same though with my Everton team it takes a while before they seem to reach a consistant level of good form

Aye I'm scared though that the 3/4 will be crap again
