Mr Conway is only suggesting that the team has improved enough to be just that, and with some of the football I've seen so far, I can't deny he's got a point. We've played some great stuff for 60 minutes, so far this season, and on that evidence, some others have said we only need a slight tinkering to be a playoff contender again. Recruitment this window MIGHT be that slight tinkering, we'll have to see.
As for Val, I said in another thread, I wondered if he was a one trick pony or could he have done it different this season. The hoofball was only good for the one season before other teams found you out.
I think we’ve regularly played some nice football over the years and have been well known for it but haven’t been able to turn it into wins at the end of the game. The amount of opposition supporters and commentators who say that we play great football year in year out is endless.

Will we go back to playing good football but not get the points at the end of the game is the question. I believe last season was a freak season for many reasons so I’ll not take too much notice of it as a guide. This season will be a better pointer for our progression as long as the world doesn’t explode again.
