It may be that you’re being proved right and wouldn’t that be lovely? But we’ve been here before. Last season we saw a run start about this time of year that carried on, just about, till the end of Jan...and then we all know what happened.
Hopefully you’ll be proved right and Warne will have learned his lesson from last January and be able to strengthen properly in the forthcoming window with what we need i.e. striker, midfield enforcer and leader.
Fingers crossed indeed, then we’ll all be smiling.
Not you rA, a tendency to be pessimistic but not a tinternet idiot (unless its you on DCFC Fans posting *******s!!

Those idiots found on every forum, social media and even the comments in the DET! After the last victory I was still reading ****s saying, sack Warne no chance of promotion with him in charge etc. etc.

Oh I'm not getting too excited, just as I don't slash my wrists when we lose! I think there are two differences from last season - we are not in any cup competition, so no extra games to increase player fatigue and injuries. I actually think the rest days on international weekends help us in recovery, so that issue of running out of steam should not be a big issue.

The second is that there are no stand out teams running away with the league as Plymouth, Ipswich and Sheff Wed did, in fact all teams seem to be inconsistent and drop pts unexpectedly. That means we aren't just chasing a play off place, but realistically could get into a top 2 place.

I know what Warne said about "mistakes" but in reality he had few options, couldn't pay a fee and presumably fees on loans were restricted, so really can't see what he could have done, other than bring in 2 or 3 average players to make up numbers and allow players to be rested. That might have worked, it might not.

I'll be interested to see what business he does this time, still think its a tricky window to get a quality player, other than perhaps a loan.

But who knows? I've said since September that I'm confident this team can be top 6 come May, yes a couple of judicious signings in January plus some luck with injuries will help with that.

Now watch us cock it up over the festive period!!
