We have to be careful in suggesting that we are on the cusp of a breakthrough here.
There are certainly holes in the top six that we can potentially fill and I think we should be upbeat, but standards and expectations have fallen to such a degree that it really doesn't take much at all to generate what even in the recent past have proven to be wildly optimistic expectations.
We need to execute a practically faultless transfer window within the next six weeks as will be the case over the next three or four windows to come. This is in the context of prudency rather than profligacy being the watchword with resources and if we ever progress with BMD.
There is practically no room for error and whilst it seems more encouraging that past mistakes won't be repeated, the task is enormous. We are only as strong as the weakest link in the chain and there are a lot of weak links, on field and off.
