“In the first half we did not have shape and kept on repeating the same mistakes. However, I am happy with what the youngsters have done as they came from being relegation candidates to championships contenders.
“The problem we have in life is that if you give people a finger, they will want the whole hand. These youngsters showed a lot of potential in the season and with enough support, they will achieve more,” said Chunga.
