Why do some fans view consilidation as a backward step ? I'd be more than happy if we manage to finish 6th at worst because it confirms solidity and genuine progression as a club. Given how other teams have developed since last season, Aston Villa for example, it would be a major achievement to replicate last season's league placing.Competition for european places is stronger than ever, yet i genuinely expect us to be there or thereabouts at the end of the season.
It's fair to say that no-one is particularily enjoying our brand of football at the moment, but flowing football oozes from confident players,and i firmly believe that performances like that are just around the corner as belief and confidence grows,so for now, last minute winners will do for me.
