5th in the table, 6 points behind "the champions elect" with a game in hand, crowds of pushing 20,000, a quite well stocked squad (debatable of skill and ability levels), a decent if unexciting manager.
On the down side not scoring hat fulls of goals, a squad that is inconsistent, hardly, if ever get out of first gear until the last 10 minutes, the back four, never same four for more than two games in a row, and yet we are still in contention.
My personal opinion is only two, relatively consistent players are mark Howard and, say this quietly Michael Doyle.
And in any league a team cannot do consistently well with only two players playing consistently .
Can we get better, certainly, there is so much scope for improvement no wonder mr clough at times is pulling his hair out, for we have all seen this "mediocre" squad is capable of tearing through any team in this and in truth a lot in the league above, and holding its own against anyone.
Granted at this moment in time, not everything is quite right, but at the risk of being shouted down, things are not as bad as some people, to give perspective after two league defeats at the start, some were screaming "relegation", to them I would say, we are a mere 7 ish wins from safety
Life, as a blade is never easy but I would venture quite a few clubs up and down this fair land wouldn't mind being in as "terrible" position as we are.
Onwards and upwards blades, suspend your scepticism for a while and help push our blades on with more of the same support on and off the field.
