Hope and wanting is now turning into belief.
With the players feeling more confident and picking up points my excitement levels are rising and so are the nerves.
Not quite a cup final but a very important 6 pointer and for our momentum.

I was excited about tonight until I realised I've double booked a gig in mcr.
Who are you not seeing in mcr?Quote:

Hoping to see some level of technical ability and a win, not expecting any madness like a first half goal or anything.
On the other hand if we lose tonight, everyone will be thinking relegation is a foregone conclusion.Quote:

I managed to catch from 66 mins on the weekend as I'd been out shopping (kids eh) and I'm liking what I am seeing, yes it's not perfect, but how much time has he really had with the full squad (as in days on the training pitch, we know they get rest days etc so it's not 5 days a week training) hopefully a little more time with Hudson and we can tighten up at the back but for now I am just happy seeing us more free flowing in attack and square pegs in square holes!!!!!
Yay for positivityQuote:

However I do have that game day excitement feeling this morning.
Amazing what a changing of the guard can do.
Oh yes the buzz is back.
Looking forward to our third win on the bounce.

No team has can prosper long term the way we used to play under Warnock, Mick and to a slightly lesser degree, Harris. That was the concerning thing even when we were doing well with results. It took teams about 3 years to work us out at this level plus the added fact that we couldn't afford that little bit of quality that could get us out of the shit. I watched the final 30 minutes against Preston and it was much better. Players getting forward, following the pass, trying to create a bit of space and an option. There's a long way to go and we may find ourselves in the shit at the end of this season, although it wont be because of what Morison does, it'll be because of the previous three managers and their tactics.Quote:

We are in blue. That's enough for me to turn up.Quote:

Excellent reply and you aren't wrong hard to disagree with any of that.Quote:

Wasn't a good watch tonight , thought we might knick a draw in second half , but alas no , upward and onwards .
Long season ahead .
On the plusside shame we're superb, with a very Ian curtis-esque performance from Charlie Steen - full of energy and a special mention goes to the bassist josh finnerty who's as mad as a box of frogs.
Best post punk band live. Definitely worth a watch.
Shame are a fantastic live act. I’ve seen them five times and will be seeing them again next week at Bristol’s Rough Trade in a show with a crowd capacity of just 150. I’ve met the band a few times too - great bunch of lads, good fun and really genuine.Quote:

The dress sense, the weird jerking movements with no apparent sense of the beat. Just how see it. But I get your iggy pop likeness too.Quote:

See, this is what happens to football managers.
They get a couple of good results by playing different players, then they morph into their predecessors and go back to the old guard, thinking they will now be better players, when they are still shite.
Wrong team selection all over the pitch
Saw them at the same venue almost exactly three years ago and it was a blast. Got to spend lots of time with the guys before and after the show and they were great company.Quote:

They played "this side of the sun" last night, which is a different sound from the two albums. It's a tune.Quote:

It wasn't.Quote:
