    ....it just shows you what the transformation has really been like. Straightforward, factual non-emotive prose. Good article. Great story!

    Very good article, thanks for posting Jimbob. <ok>

    The thing in it that resonates most with me is how a squad, "well scouted but flung together almost overnight" could have gelled so quickly and for so long.

    On the 17th of this month, we will have been at the top of this division for seven months - an absolutely remarkable feat. During this time, I think I'm right in saying no team has been one win away from overtaking us, we've always maintained a cushion.

    To go up today at Carlisle would be an extraordinary coincidence, but whether it's today, or next week or the week after, the experiment has worked better surely than any of us could have dreamed.
