It wasnt, and those that remember it can appreciate how far we have come
Exactly that, and why the toys should stay in the pram if we finish 5th.
Sometimes I think we need to take a step back and look at the upward trend in the graph from a distance rather than bang up close where every little minor dip is treated like a collapse.
We're not far off something special and sustainable. All those digging out Levy for not buying (any) new striker should consider that had Ade been just half as good as he was last year he'd be on almost double the goals for this season that he is now.
Yes, you might say that any fool could have predicted that Ade would have dropped off this season but I defy anyone to honestly say they'd think he'd have only got 4 goals.
So we don't need major reinforcements, just a bit more individual consistency. The lines are that fine.
A lot are pointing to the dropped points against the 'lesser' teams and that's fair enough, but lets also remember that really we're only two results short of being cemented in the top 4; the lines are that fine. For me Everton and Liverpool spring to mind, and they boil down to simply 3 or 4 individual errors... Caulker, Walker, JD and maybe BAE and Lloris.
So things are pretty rosy, we're going the right way and we're still well in the mix despite the doom and gloom.
We're not lottery winners, we are doing it the right way and we might have to be a little more patient still but right now and I'm pleased with where we are and proud of what we're doing.
Lets take another step tomorrow. Coys.
