[Positive head on] We're not even in the bottom 3! [positive head off/]
We have a fair few players to come back from injury and January to gain some decent players hopefully.
We need to continue our run in the Cup to build the confidence and give the players something to look forward to.
Other than that we're f
ked.
Could be worse, our owner having his assets frozen with the club on the brink of administration. I'm sure Fatboy knows about that at the moment

Got any money?Difficult to know who could be brought in during the transfer window and make the required impact? The only reasonable suggestion I've heard mentioned is Pedersen from Blackburn.
Getting Vlaar from injury will help.
Randy's back in town (and was apparently at the Wigan debacle at the weekend) - he has had two meetings with Lambert in three days.... The upshot seems to be that there is £10M to spend in the January window.
Can't see that going very far on proven experienced players, which is what is needed to give the side a bit of backbone and resilience. Unless there's money coming in from players going out (and I suppose there might be interest in Bent, albeit it will mean a big loss on what was paid for him....), I think that's going to be spread pretty thinly given the need for a decent centre-half, a ball-winning midfielder in the Stan mould, a left back and arguably another forward.
A sticking plaster on a sucking chest wound, if you ask me....

A shame to give away an equaliser at the death but I'd have taken a point going into this match so I guess I should focus on the positives. It helped that other relegation zone results went in our favour.
We could do with Arsenal bagging a winner at St. Mary's right now. Please Arsenal, do us a favour.Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
