You are entitled to take a miserablist view of course and the team is by no means the finished article, but surely no one out there expects Monk to create a Title winning team in a few months?
There'll be more than a few set backs in the coming months, quite possibly starting with a full strength post drubbing Norwich tomorrow. But, for the first time for years' almost all the indicators are positive, it's not just Pontius that's improved us at the back, Bartley is an improvement over Cooper, Samba or that other clown, Ayling has been decent, even though I expect Berardi to get back in if he regains fitness and Coyle is a decent prospect. In the midfield we've surely seen the last of Murphy, and with O'Kane and hopefully Bridcutt soon to return we've got a bit of muscle in midfield. With a choice of 2 out of Hernandez, Dallas or Sackho to be creative, we just need another attacker to give Wood and Antonnsson some competition. Monk and Pepe look like a proper management team AND at last MC has STFU. We are making ER a bit of a fortress again and crowds are picking up. yes it could all go wrong and a top 10 would be good for this season, with a proper push next. ttfn Richard > -----Original Message----- > From: Leedslist [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rob > Heath > Sent: 04 November 2016 12:59 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [LU] Calm down! > > There is way too much euphoria surrounding the team at the moment, in my > humble (and OK miserable) opinion. > > Yeah, we've had a good run of results.............yeah Pontius Pilate has made a > difference at the back.............yeah we're not conceding goals from corners > and freekicks any more......... > > BUT..........it sounds like the Norwich cup match could easily have ended up > as a pretty sound defeat............equally, sounds like we could easily have lost > that Burton match......... > > Tomorrow's match is going to be REALLY tough.
