Let's be fair Dancing, an eternal optimist like Blue hasn't had much chance of getting anything right since the last couple of months of Danny ........ We've been a pessimist's paradise. The worse the future someone like me thought up, the quicker it was overtaken by something even more disastrous. GC on his own would have been enough, but Guy Branston ooooeeerr, we sign Joe Anyon blaaaah, Tommy Lee's career ends aaaaaggh, Jack Lester rides in to save us hooray, car craaash, just when things look almost stable both centre backs out for the season, a full back for six weeks + ........... and all the time we're being sold or not sold and we have money or not and club is in ferment .......

Optimism now equals NO DISASTERS BEFORE SATURDAY. If the Proact disappeared down a post-mining sinkhole during Saturday's game no one would be surprised. If Blue started getting much right in these circumstances his family would have him admitted to the Scarsdale Centre For Terminal Depressives. It just wouldn't be Blue.

I could even suggest the keeper might be in for a bit of a stinker before he had one on Saturday. That doesn't make me a genius. It just means things are as bad as we can imagine. But ask Luton about bad stuff that just never stops happening. They've still got fans with Post Traumatic Stress. They aren't so sure of themselves.
