I wonder where we would be in the league today had Bruce been in from the get go. Even allowing for the same squad of players my guess is that we'd be at least where Reading are.

We've won our last 3 home league games, does anyone want to take a guess on when we last won 3 in a row at home?

At a guess round about January/February 2010.

The most that season was 2 consecutive home league wins.

I would say 92/93 runner up season or the great Sir Brian season 95/96?

Forget 3 home wins in a row, we've got Burton, Leeds and Wigan coming up. We can target six home wins in a row there. I'm gradually starting to feel like we are going to score in games, we aren't going to fuck up every time someone attacks and gift them a goal, we aren't going to fold in the last 5 minutes and throw games away. All the negativity and doom mongering is starting to clear and the cloud is being lifted. The Villa Lion is stirring and this division is going to feel it's force.

More important than any of that yesterday we managed to take throw ins quickly and find our own players more often than not. It really is, as Mr Hall once sang, the dawning of a new era.
