I was concerned over Christmas as well. Those concerns have eased massively now, and in hindsight, the injuries look like they played a far bigger part than I thought at the time. Tam's big test, and I said this from day one, was coming through his first sticky spell as Utd manager and he's done it imo. Granted the performances haven't been as good as we'd like, but to go from 8 defeats in 10 to now only 2 defeats in 11 is a major upturn. Our recent form has us 6th in the form table. Unfortunately some fans don't seem to be able to get passed the poor form at Christmas (some don't seem to be able to get passed the fact he was appointed in the first place) and have it in for the manager regardless. He seems to always be only one defeat or poor performance away from having it all thrown back in his face. Most folk had us down or in the playoffs at the start of the season. Early March and we're already safe with 36 points. Let's see where we end up. We're still in with a chance of top 6 and have a quarter final to look forward to, albeit its the worst tie we could've possibly drawn.
