Now it's up to him and them to show it.
You have that knack of putting it into "words" Glen. I for one came into this season considering League status to be the main aim and maybe anything after that a bonus. After the first 2 or 3 friendlies and with the injuries and knockbacks on signings not many were optimistic, then all of a sudden, as was shown on SV's with the League prediction table everyone (bar the usual culprits
) were aiming at L1 !
I think now, as you say, Sammy is able to be realistic, particularly as we have the formalities of Rochdale (H), Rotherham (A), Notts. County (H), Dagenham (A), Bradford (H) and Shrewsbury (H) (who all expect to be at least in the play offs) in the coming weeks
4 of the 6 are at home and there are 18 points up for grabs. We should be aiming to take at least 9, if not 10 points from this sequence otherwise we will be left behind I.M.O. This time last season we had 4 points and in the same League position if you disregarded the points deductions ~ this time we don't have that luxury ~ we followed that up with 4 draws and then THAT game in G!!!!^$H*^^
With the squad we have now, there is no room for excuses.
Anyway I'm still half full
