Fair pont, Dancing. I think we all got a bit over-excited by those 3 wins on the bounce to start with and I suspect that the opposite is true at the moment. I certainly never expected us to go flying straight back up from this league - teams rarely do these days - and still think that the top half would be an acceptable finish this season; play-offs a bonus. I also still think that MA has the experience and the nous to achieve it, although you may be right about the substitutions.
Can I throw into the mix an interesting (to me, anyway) stat about Charlie carter? He went off in the 49th minute against Salford and, ignoring added time, to that point we`d played 319 minutes of football. In that time we scored 6 goals; that`s an average of just over 53 minutes per goal. Since then, without him, we`ve scored 1 goal in 221 minutes. Okay, that`s probably an over-simplification but it does suggest how much we`ve missed him.
