After victories against then bottom club Dijon and mid table Montpellier yesterday, both 1-0 Nice have surged to their highest position this season. Joy in the Dog household and Goat ez sed "We can continue to believe". It's a far cry from the Champions League days when Dog came on the scene and ushered their decline but Vierra continues to keep them in the top half.
One similarity to Barnsley FC is that Nice have now the youngest squad in Lg1, after two "horrendous transfer windows" ripped the experience out of the squad to be replaced by young players brought in from lower leagues.
