Better than last season, but not going any further forward than we already are without that buyout miracle.
I think thats a fair assessment but also it highlights just how many points are still there to be won!!! I truly don't think we will go down now, nor do I think we will get dragged into the relegation scrap but its going to be really tough to close the gap on the teams above us, now have a 6 point gap directly above us!!
Interestingly, I was looking at the predictions we all made at the start of the season, and we are either a right bunch of pessimists or SG is far exceeding our very low expectations so far!!! I think 10th place was the highest anyone had us!! Having said that I don't think anyone saw how good Westwood and Lees would be, so while we can't score often enough, our defence is probably the best in the division!!
Still all to play for and hopefully MM either lets SG make some signings or he can get the takeover to a point where new owners would sanction some spending. Either way, we have two weeks left in the transfer window to change things!!
