The optimist in me thinks that this time it looks as though we are going about things in the right way; the pessimist in me says it will all go to shit because it always does; the pragmatist in me is saying wait and see.And that fence is telling me 'Get off me Chris, you're killing me.' :-)

We could be 17th or 18th after tomorrow's games ......I sincerely hope Smith can get something out this squad ( of individuals rather than team players) otherwise we are deep in the shit - all very well playing better football but not if the end result is the same ....an already long season looks even longer ...January recruitment is vital but I doubt we will be in with a shout for the play offs ..... when was the last time we were so low in the second division ?

I think we're going to get irritating results until January I'm.afraid. It may be too late by then, but this is the hand we've been dealt.Maybe with a full week Smith might have room to breathe and see who is available in the u23s.
