    I find myself being carried along on a wave of optimism and to be honest I like it. It has been a long time since our supporters have felt this energised and the eye test tells me they have a right to feel this way. 11 Clubs so far this season have tried to work out how to play against RLB side and to a varying degree some have been successful but the team and the manager have shown great adaptability and resourcefulness on and off the pitch to suggest we are not as one dimensional as some other teams in the league.
    I get the whole premise of waiting for the cliff edge, that a lot of our fans waiting for, but we are not lemmings looking for a cliff and we should be sticking our chest out and approaching every game with confidence and expectation (after all its what this game is all about) with a realisation that even if we are not favourites we will fight, scrap and battle our way to a result.
    We may lose games and we may draw or win them but at this moment in time my feelings are that we will fear nobody and just do what we do. That wave can continue carrying me forward on a crest of optimism, as no matter how the rest of the season pans out my pride in what has already been achieved in the last 14 games we have played (Including playoffs) can not be diminished.
