5 games unbeaten from a squad that has had an absolute overhaul, performances have been extremely patchy which is exactly to be expected when you have such massive changes, however the never say die spirit is in abundance and results breed confidence confidence brings this squad closer together quicker and performances follow
Its small steps not wholesale changes that are needed but again it won't be long before they are up to speed, to think that good performances and no points at this stage of the season would be anything other than disastrous to the point fans talking new manager would be at least whispers in the air by this point are testimony to a complete misunderstanding if you think 6 points in 4 games is anything less than what you should be hoping for
This is not a fingers crossed and hope half the squad come good season this is a squad that is good enough to challenge not by a long way Soudini is being carefully managed and will no doubt start next Saturday Dawson won't be far behind and over the next few games fitness levels aside Robinson and Byram will become the first choice fullbacks. We now have a week to prepare for 3 games in 7 days and again AK will be thinking about managing fitness, it wouldn't shock me if its more of the same this side of the international break
We have our part to play and as fans and what a part we are playing unprecedented season ticket sales, sell outs and large away contingents and this is holiday season. It would be an absolute crying shame if we cannot show a little bit of patience and allow the team time to gel and build the combinations across the team that can flourish
IMO the opening comments are an over reaction, not withstanding reference to the performances which are absolutely spot on we have got out of jail 2 times now however that being the case we get 4 extra points for Brizzle who we should have beaten easily and WBA who should have been long dispatched before the last 20 minutes of daftness took place but that's football for you
The original question is so far so good, I reckon you've hit the nail on the head with that, not great, not brilliant, not anything to write home about or get overly excited about, just a good old fashioned scrappy, some good, some bad performances underpinned by a 5 game unbeaten run which for me turns average into good
