For me Having Brad Walker in the midfield at long last was the major change. He absolutely ran the game in the middle of the park. For the first time this season our midfield was linking with our forwards and supporting them with positive runs. Felt that Walker and Wintle were our main contibutors and worked tirelessly in the middle in an attacking and defending sense. Big, big improvement, and at last strength in our midfield.
I'm not getting carried away. Chesterfield were appalling. The massive difference was that previously we have sunk to the level of poor sides: this time we powered through. Even after taking of three key players we were better - despite an initial hiccup.
Every game is a test of the players Artell puts out there and they seem to be picking up the challenge, gradually. Grimsby, from all accounts I've read, was a reminder that any team in this division, at any time, can raise their game - just as we did last season, occasionally, but only just enough.
I really am taking every game as it comes.
There should be no doubt that this is a much better side than last season's team - good signings and the younger players clearly much improved. However, I see the team as a work in progress, clearly moving in the right direction, but, as AlexLeicester rightly says, it is one game at a time for me. It is nice to be fourth in the table, but we were third for one week last season under SD before all of the wheels came off. Great work to date by DA/KL to turn things around, but I am not getting carried away (yet).
Don't you start, AL
Maybe they were appalling because we made them look that way!?
At least you refrained from quoting that other frustrating statement - "it's a poor league" - as if League 2 has exclusive ownership to that tag!!!
I am getting carried away, and I'm proud of it!
Play-offs an absolute minimum if we are to call this season a success!
