Yes we can do exciting losses when we are pushing for Top 6 finishes. Hoepfully, sooner rather than later.

Like the Clough analogy.

I think it's a good analogy, too. Times are different now and I doubt it's an approach that will ever again reap the rewards of domestic and European championships. However, if we no longer succumb to defeats to the teams we should beat and have the occasional result against the more fancied clubs, then it will have been a very decent season.
