yes we have treated some of our strikers like royalty too when they haven't been playing well haven't we?? Best and Bothroyd jump to mind... :thinking about::thinking about:
He takes no nonsense which is the key, never had time for keeping 'legends' if they were not fitting the bill, likewise with players such as Malaga who did not fit the team and were not good enough. Top manager, lets hope we can keep him!!
I think home form and support is going to be key also, we need the ricoh to be a fortress which it isn't at present. Having said that we could be playing elsewhere!!!
very good point Otis, sadly I don't think we have any obvious 'class' to go out the door but we could lose our loanees for starters. Obviously the McG will be a major influencer on where we can make it.
I remember when we signed Cedric Roussel permanently after his fantastic form in his trial, then he turned out to be average afterwards! I am not saying we don't sign him as I think we should be a lot of players play out of their skin to get into the shop window then the foot comes off the gas...
So what are we now, 7 points off the playoffs and 11 points off automatic spots. If we keep can this momentum over Christmas we can cut that down vastly.
Question is Can we get promoted?? (providing we don't get any deductions for going into admin!!)
