    Don't take away all the 'whimsy and hope' Ella...wherever would we be without them? ;-)

    Probably not as we've not won too many games at home and that would be the key to promotion. It's just very important to stay within 5 or 6 points of the top two, and then we could perhaps clinch an auto spot this season.

    Hopefully last Saturday did reflect real progress with Clement making a decisive selection of the team and being rewarded with a fine performance, whatever the quality of the opposition.
    A prediction is guesswork at this stage. If we continue to improve automatic could well happen but equally we could stagnate or be hit with more injuries to key players.

    Yes we can, we are in touch and starting to get in the groove. Will we? Better ask our resident soothsayer on that his predictions are generally right you know!

    I'd say we will be in the top 6 come the festive season, within 3 or 4 pts of top spot and I think we can achieve that with or without Thorne.

    Adjustments to be made. More forward passing, more shooting at goal rather than leaving it for someone else to shoot and better heading from freekicks and corners. But I'm sure it will come.

    Top six will do me as long as we're no more than 6 points from the leaders!
