Since we're talking about winning, we may as well put a number on it. Before the season started my general thoughts were -
4 + minimum
6 + good
8 + excellent
10 + tell 'em they're dreaming
I think i might have said in an old post I was expecting 6 - 8 wins. Only 5 to go !
If we ended up with 4 or 5 I might be inclined to add 1 for all the close ones combined, just to take into account the general improvement (thus far).
My only concern is how we play out the year. For the first time we have no excuse for young bodies tiring late in the season, as we now only have a handful of first 22 in their first or second season. A good match committee who wanted to win games would swap them out if they showed signs of tiring and costing us games. The rest of the season is the true test of how good our coaches are, and how committed our players are. If they can't get another 3 wins, which is my minimum expectation, then something is wrong with one or both of those mobs. While unproven, we have a better team than 1 - 3 wins would indicate, of that I am sure.
