I don't think there is any doubt about that, Saxo. Our team-spirit and attitude have got us this far.
The Wigan game now becomes a real test of the players' characters. We don't have to win it; it is more a matter of effort and mindset.
The Telegraph site yet again displays colossal hypocrisy on the part of some posters, though.
There are those who have disliked Mowbray from the start, and would select their "judgements" being proved correct above the team doing well.
Suddenly, the back four most people called for is "rubbish"! And Graham? He "had to be dropped". Now? He "should have been on from the start"!
It's almost as if what you said yesterday doesn't exist any more. Is this the influence of the Age of Trump?
The one player I have been a bit puzzled about for some time is Palmer. Is there something contractual we don't know about? I only ask because he has been chosen several times while other newcomers have had to wait and wait.
I would say he has only had about two good half-hours so far.
TM opted for speed today, and it didn't work, but I don't suppose he envisaged coming back from nil-two down after ten minutes!
Before we conclude that Mowbray is rubbish and virtually everybody should be dropped, let's see how the players react on Wednesday!
