    To turn circle in the space of a season was always going to be difficult.

    If we just talk about the leaps we have made on the field.

    It seems that all the infighting and negativity has gone

    We retain possession more than we lose it

    Undefeated so far this season, and we could have quite easily and should have beaten Bristol City and Burnley.

    We have got rid of the dead wood

    We are not conceding goals for fun


    Negative points.

    Not won at home since the beginning of March

    Disappointing crowd of only 25,000

    It's either the final ball to Wood, or

    Wood needs a supporting striker or

    Wood is not strong enough

    You can only compair like for like,and if we beat a team that distroyed us last year and are stronger this season has to be a positive.and yet again you prove yourself wrong.11th is higher than 15th in cheshire,they teach you its the same in Yorkshire do they ? <doh>

    Like for like is that you got 13 points for your 1st 8 games last season - that was with Hockaday and Redfern in charge.
    If you win your next 2 games (and only IF) - you will only be 1 point better off after spending considerably more.
    Your 9th game last season was the 1st game for your 3rd manager - If you don not win both of your next 2, you will have started worse than last year and Cellino's axe wielding will be certain <ok>

    To clarify - You need to WIN BOTH of your next 2 games to have started better than last season by 1 point <ok>

    We had six easy games last season, if we had played the same teams this term we'd have 18 points<ok>

    If I subscibed to the simplistic reasoning you have,you may be right,but I don't.If a team last season got 12 points from Hull and Burnley but this season only get 10 off Man city and Chelsea you think they are playing worse.<doh> that's why your in league 1 TC,I take it Hollowhead tought you everything you know.

    Last season your 1st 8 games were Millwall away (where you ALWAYS lose) Middlesborough, Brighton, Watford, Bolton, Birmingham Bournemouth and Huddersfield - do you think this years fixtures have been harder?

    Put it this way - If you lose your next 2 games you will be 5 points worse off than you were under Hockawally <ok><laugh>
