I agree Matt. We've had false dawns before, like 3 wins out of 3 under Martin Allen. I feel much more hopeful this time but that might just be because I liked the sound of James Rowe before I even knew he was in the running. It is always very easy to forget that the other teams all like winning too and they were signing players whilst we were losing, sacking managers and going nowhere. I do think to succeed in sport you need to keep moving forward and looking to bring in new players before the fans are calling for replacements, so yes I wouldn't hesitate over James Jones even though the defence is looking strong, I'd move for Cameron Mason even though we are keeping clean sheets, I'd be tapping up Kane Drummond even though we just scored six and I'd be doing my best to ensure Sharman and Rowley fulfil their promise and I might even be casting a weather-eye on Blyth to see if Levi Amantchi is finding his mojo.
And yes I'd be trying to win in the FA Trophy. We need to keep that feeling. If we play Brackley, they've got a player I've always liked in Shepherd Murombedze, but he didn't even make their starting eleven last week, so what do I know?
It's great to be hopeful and aim for the top, it gets dangerous when those hopes become expectations, then that first defeat deflates everyone, and someone says, "same old same old" and suddenly we start sucking the ball into our own goal.
