    I am the opposite. Always been an optimist,but last season and this have become very much a realist.

    Stop thinking the Hartlepool result is any good

    Anything other than defeat will be a good result. Would settle for a draw and then a win against Pompey for sure.

    Where will we finish???

    1. Because we haven't put one full decent performance in yet. 2. Because we have lost 19 points from winning positions. 3. Because it's odds on we'll lose our top scorer come Jan. 4. Because MR said it's going to take time to get things right. 5. Because MR has said there's still loads wrong...

    Stop thinking the Hartlepool result is any good

    There are freak results all over the place from time to time. We've just got to hope this wasn't a freak result and is a pointer of things to come. Let's see how we get on tomorrow night and on Saturday before we all start wetting ourselves.

    James McClean refusing to wear poppy

    But I do think that is different. In that circumstance you would actually be disturbing people while they try to have the 2 mins silence. You would actually be infringing upon their right to have the silence. Simply not wearing a poppy doesn't have that same effect. That is a personal choice...

    James McClean refusing to wear poppy

    Would guess a fair few British Muslims wouldn't wear one either. As long as people respect the dead I have no problem. We should never make the wearing of any emblem such as this compulsory. Much ado about nothing stirred by hate filled papers such as the Daily Mail I reckon. I'm pretty sure...

    Tis a silly little story. Only a couple of years ago, 15 of the Premiership clubs chose to wear poppies, 5 didn't. Personal choice. You can respect the dead without having to wear the symbol.

    James McClean refusing to wear poppy

    But he is Irish and many Irish people were killed by the British Army during all the troubles. 'The poppy is especially controversial in Northern Ireland and most Irish Nationalists and Irish Catholics refuse to wear one due to the actions of the British Army during the troubles.' Most it...

    James McClean refusing to wear poppy

    He is within his rights to do so and it is entirely wrong for him to receive abuse too. Surely wearing a poppy is one of personal choice.

    But if you believe this all so sincerely, why didn't you post this after we lost at home to Scunthorpe rather than wait until we won on Saturday?

    Let's hope he puts in consistently good performances from now on. The whole team needs consistency and what other better place to start than with the captain.
