The Hard Road To The Premiership

[PaulP]

While wins in the immediate term could be described as "irrelevant" we do need to be capable of winning some games, of being fiercely competitive and of avoiding absolute floggings. We will need to see some reward for our efforts.

Constant losing without hope or reward can be very damaging and lead to the destruction of club morale as we have seen in recent years. Some of our players have no doubt been very bruised psychologically, in some cases to the point that they may never perform well again whilst at CFC. Rehabilitation will take time.

So, we tread a fine line into the future between rebuilding but being able, at the same time, to demonstrate positive progress and that will involve getting a few wins IMO.

Agree cookie. The ideal future that people seem to think is almost a fait accompli if we really bottom out, may in fact never eventuate. Must be competitive from day 1.
