So different to the opening three games of the season, games that left me with the impression we could give anyone a game.
If we eventually do get promoted there is going to have to be a lot of surgery amongst the playing staff and a hard look at the manager himself. He has said he doesn't like managing in the Premier League but it would take some real balls to look elsewhere after the job he has done this season. He seems to have great respect for his two assistants and obviously they have years of experience behind them but perhaps we could do with some younger blood with fresher ideas.
Unless some serious changes are made I can see us staying in the Premier League no longer than we did last time.
