Given how we ended last season, I would be delighted if that was our actual position, and that is where he has us playing to right now. Sadly, there is too much ground to make up, and the teams around us are also showing improved form so the upturn isn't showing in our league position, but our form is clearly better than the first half of the season.Last week was awful, but it was one game after a reasonable run where there was cause for cautious optimism. A current form table that still places us 11th maybe gives that a bit of context.2 wins in 14, i think a minus 14 gd and still rock bottom but hey we are 11th on current form. i'll try and remember that when we are away at rotherham in februaryWe'll be at Rotherham next season because of stuff that's happened before now. We were losing EVERY game, then we started to draw some, and IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS we have won a couple (not in the last 14) - that is an upturn. I don't see how itv can be argued that it isn't.

I'll post something similar in the other football thread but, I'm over here in that there London and I'm just in from watching Brentford v Derby. If we hang on to the better players we have and add a couple of steady players in the right positions then, we'll be there or thereabouts.

Teams tend not to do well when the everyone above the manager is disinterested, weak, or incompetant

Just because others have a different view point doesn't mean their not listening to reason.When I see my manager standing like a book end for 90 minutes, without showing a glimpse of emotion when were getting battered, I may get a tad pissed off.

He of one promotion from the Championship in his six attempts.

At least he would show some f*ckin' pashun.
