    The next game against Barnsley away will be more of an indicator of how our season will turn out. At least tonight's result has banished the misery of the Lincoln debacle!

    It's a decent start.....I think our season will depend on Mick having the balls to let the players continue to try to play football after a poor result rather than reverting to lumping it aimlessly.

    That you would Spanish and if Roy Keane won the world cup with England I would still loathe him.

    It's a decent start for once - two winnable away games next but three on the road in 8 days with injuries is tough. Lets see what we can do. Appears we're trying to play more footy and some promising lads are playing so I'm for that. Helps we have a strikeforce this term as opposed to last year.

    No idea if we have enough to do anything this season - but it at least appears to be an improvement on last term.

    Wonder if we'll have any more arrive before deadline day. COYB.

    I know that it is easy to get carried away with a couple of good results at the start of the season but we have been here many times before, The Away games against Barnsley and Millwall will give us a better idea of how well we will do,

    I must admit Warky I have no idea how this season will pan out - good start sure but I'll judge after 11 games played - 25% of the season if you will. I still feel we haven't spent enough to truly compete and we're somewhat limited in what we can bring in. Other clubs clear as day can bring in more talented players. Mick or no Mick this isn't going to change.

    When I look at the squads Norwich / Wendy / Derby / Leeds / Wolves / Boro / Villa have in particular, top 6? Seems impossible.

    But we'll have to see I suppose. I think we've plugged some massive gaping holes from last season. We've kept Bart. We have Webster back fit which will allow us to play more footy. We're finally starting to give the kids a go ( get well Dozza ) and there does seem to be a bit of a feel good factor back for the first time in 18 or so months at least.

    Lets hope for some points at both Barnsley and Millwall. No offence to either of their sets of fans, however I'd expect both to be bottom 7 and struggling so it appears a decent opportunity.

    All I do know is that a fit and healthy McGoldrick is absolutely vital to our prospects of doing well. He is far and away our most skill full and creative player and we need a big season from him. My worry is that he is too injury prone and is bound to be side lined at some point during the season.

    we are all keeping things in perspective and are well aware that the wheels could come off anytime, but its so good to be able to be looking forward to the next game instead of dreading it.
    I would take a draw at Barnsley now.
