Evening Bob

Yes, I have to say I was very concerned about our start to the season, and although I have always advocated a wait a few more games approach, things were looking a bit iffy. I was furher concerned at Bellers reasons for coming to us and perhaps, in light of recent news, these concerns have some substance to them. The signing of Smith didn't totally inspire me either. However, given the arrival of Noone and possibly Maynard, it looks as if MM is taking steps to change our game dramatically. I think we need to give him a couple of games to see how his new plans work out (as I'm sure they will) but, he really will have to make sure the expense is put to the most effective use.
On the issue of entertainment versus results, I think the modern game demands an entertaining style in order to achieve the results wanted by the fans. I think if this group of players are committed and allowed to make the best of their qualities, we can look forward to the happy combination of entertainment and winning.
