I struggle with this view seriously. Hounding out a manager that has us in 4th and reaching every single semi final.
Raging about last night, but the manager had a team and system on the park that had us in the position to get to both finals, the players never seized it.
At some point the players on the park need to take over.

Qualifying for Europe is not something we do anywhere near as regularly as we should. Does that not count for anything?
The manager has us in position to qualify for europe and to get to both major finals. There's clearly a wide range of expectations.

For me this lies much more widely with the players no taking the opportunity when everything is in place in the position to do so.
While reaching semi finals is never a bad thing I’m weary about putting too much stock in them when talking about Ross, or anyone, without factoring in the luck of cup draws. Here’s the two cup runs we’ve had under Ross. It could be argued we fell at the first serious hurdles we came up against in both in Hearts & St Johnstone.

Scottish Cup - Dundee Utd (then championship) - BSC - ICT - Hearts
League Cup - Brora, Cove, Dundee, Forfar - Dundee - Alloa - St Johnstone
