We are still in a strong position but the obvious concern is that it'll all fall apart. Our lack of depth was harshly exposed today and it didn't feel good.
Its January now and we need the team to be invested in.

I feel it too, I'm blocking it out with positive thoughts and lots of cakes

Still confident that this is our year. The right additions arriving this month and an automatic spot is there for the taking.

regatta, you're absolutely right. 4 points off the lead in 4th place on NYD is a great effort.
But couldn't it be that much more comfortable if the manager had got things right pre-season ?
I know it serves no purpose to bang on about past mistakes but my reservation with TP is whether he ever learns. January will be his making or undoing...

Past is past. Nothing we can do to change it. Tone has got the whole club buzzing. Looking forward, everyone at the club thinks we can do it, and those that matter are giving it their all to achieve it - from the top down!

We are in a very good position at the moment, with Salif in and more players to come things still look good. We have had very difficult games over X-mas. Saying that we are probably a couple of points shy of what we should have had.

With the exception of today, I'd have taken the recent results we've had. Today we dropped points but everyone stutters occasionally. The run goes on to a tough test at home specialists Ipswich - what we'd give for 3 points from that!

Ipswich will be the main test, they beat Brazil by 2 at home too ;D Fuck it, I'm gonna have $5 on Stoke to win 3-0 with Fuller, Cresswell and Whelan to score. should get great odds with him not even signed yet

well guys all your frustrations on here were felt at the match yesterday.
but lets stay positive we now have a break from the league(most welcome at this point). the players can enjoy themselves in the cup match, and we have as stated 10-11 days for some transfer activity.

Calgary: Even longer shot with Fuller out of the country! Still sounds worth the £2.50 investment. Cheers for the tip!
