Last season was the big opportunity and we blew it.Quote:

Long way to go etc etc...
I'll judge us when we've got everyone back. If we can lose no more to injury and get those crocked back quick, and to their bests, then we can see what we're like.Quote:

We've never had proper options up top, barring a short while with Jeez and Kai. And Noni looked great at the start and means we don't have to kill B. And we may even have Jeez by the end of the year.
If you'd said we'd be without all those, and B for large parts, and be playing MnM up top again, but we'd still be top, I wouldn't have believed you.
Let's pray we get to see what happens when everyone's fit. And that it's more than enough.
Half of them back would be great. Imagine only having three forwards injured- heaven :-)Quote:

But one thing is for sure. Even with them all missing, we are a better side than we were at the start of the season. That's really encouraging. And we can still play a lot better....
We are. Nothing to do with quality of squad. This is undoubtedly the best depth we've had almost ever, but just because we haven't got the minerals to get it over the line.
We desperately need to win a league to get the mental block off our back and then we could really do something special.
We can only pray that City have a massive blip somewhere.
City won't lose another game now. :-(Quote:

Tbh, I'll worry about that nearer the time. Just want 6 points from the next 2 games.Quote:
