How many wins in a row before we get "An im-press-ive run of results"?

Good point at the end Dave, a win shouldn't be sniffed at, but we are still unconvincing. Perhaps wins against the Terriers and the Owls might have us believing different.

Lot of Yorkshire teams in Div 2.

The fact that we came to life in the second half against Rotherham (and Bristol) makes a nice change, but it musn't disguise the fact that Rotherham are very poor and that, as you say, the game was pretty awful for the first hour. This week's two games will show whether we really have turned the corner.
As far as our strikers are concerned, I agree that getting rid of three in January left us very thin, but those three, Gestede, Ayew and McCormack, weren't offering very much and we're probably better off without them.

Plus we're currently paying wages to 4 first team attackers as well as RHM and Davis, there's a limit to how many we can afford to have on our books when we're stuck in Division 2.

Agree with this and previous post from Frank, the timing seemed poor but we don't know what the details of the deals were
