Howley and Stretton both looked decent prospects but I'm now expecting both to be let go at the end of the season. Andrews seems to be the one who might make it but have heard very little about his loan spell.
I'd rather convince myself we are finishing 7th and revel in the misery and then be pleasantly surprised should we finish 6th, rather than the other way around.
That's still up for debate. If they carry on playing like they did today they won't be 10 points ahead of us by season's end. They have done the opposite to us, had a flying start and then struggled. They might get their shit together, they might not. Equally we can't afford to let up either.
I'd honestly be happy to do what Blackpool did; Go up for a season, treat every game like a carnival, celebrate every one of the few goals we would score like we've just won the FA Cup, pocket the cash and laugh all the way to the bank.
I think Paterson will sign on a short term deal (albeit it may not be today as he can sign any time) and we might get a kid from Chelsea on loan and that'll be it. Howley and/or Burroughs might go out. Possibly the likes of Dausch and Perry to go out as well.
