Everyone seems to be looking at this game as being the second half of the season. Due to resting players for the cup game and allowing an introduction for the new recruits it feels like a new beginning, and let's hope we now start playing the kind of football we are used to.
Being out of the cup will undoubtedly be welcomed not only for the players, as they will now have an extra rest, but also for us fans, I don't know about you but games are now the most stressful time of the week. It is good stress, but boy do I get tensed.
We are nearly back to a full squad and if we have learnt from past experience and bring in a cover for Grimes and/or centre half, I think we can revert back to the pressing game we were used to in the first part of the first half. Torp and Asante were key to that style and now with Esse I think we have potential cover. We have Esse and Minny as extra providers and as Simms, Asante and Wright have had time to get fit again there is nothing stopping them from producing the good.
For we supporters we have our role to play and not only turning up in numbers but remaining positive and supportive is essential. We mustn't resort to getting on player's backs because now with 30,000 turning up each week, negativity can be as counter-productive as cheering is positive.
We must all remain focused and do our part and BELIEVE in FL and his team. HOPE and BELIEF can move mountains and we must all have FAITH, and then destiny awaits.

Yeah for his first name. Same as people call Tatsuhiro Sakamoto Tatsu or Matthew Grimes Matty, but we don’t call them exclusively by their first name.

I'm pretty sure the law of nicknames, it has to end in a S or a Y.

I've heard Tats more than Tatsu.
