what you expected in the summer for me it has bein brilliant up to now decent ammount of points at this time quarter finals of cc and got a decent fixture in that and still fa cup to come tbh i could'nt see stoke in the prem when pulis took over and we looked a pathetic side in the boskamp era pulis and coates deserve the attention and the support of us(fans) they both decided have one last crack at stoke and both new there was something here it just needed grinding out of us.

Well I think we've made a very reasonable start, and as I was pointing out to a ManUre fan yesterday 4 points against the big four is more than they've managed (granted its only three for them). But why do I miss the Championship so much when I watch it on TV?!?

For me the real tests lie ahead now
Yes, I am absolutely delighted that we are in a posse of clubs that are a) a couple of wins from a mid table position, b) theoretically, three wins on the trot away from challenging for Europe (dont laugh, dafter things have happened)
However, the real tests are now upon us
Win our next two home games, and we will be in a position that not many could have dreamed of come Bolton away on August 16th
We are also a very possible step away from a place in the semi finals of the lager Cup
But . . . . SHOULD we beat the sheepshaggers at home, then what will the managers policies be?
Conceivably, we are likely to face either a rampant Spurs, a young and exciting Arsenal, or the Shit.
If we are drawn away in the first leg of the semi, is damage limitation likely to be the tactics, which in every scenario, might make a cup semi final second leg at our place irrelevant, or will we try and "take the game to the opposition" with the unbeleivable thoughts of a Wemberlee trip on the horizon
I am not knocking TPs tactics, if he keeps us up then he is a God without a doubt, but to reach a semi final, and not even have a chance to win it in the second leg would be almost unbearable.
So far so good, but the rest of the season starts on Saturday, and for me it is a must win game - (a) for confidence after Saturdays rout, and (b) for the Hull and Derby games that will do much to shape the rest of our season.
