Usually by now one of the naysayers jumps up and shouts "excuses !"

I'll save them the trouble - "EXCUSES !!!!"

Saving them for you.  Rather weak argument as your views are known to all

This is what we're seeing at the moment.
Is it sustainable or just a teasing glimpse.

Weitering is playing good football early this season.
Will he be playing the same football this time next year?
SPS has had one standout game this year but has been inconsistent.
Cunningham is having a better season.
Will he continue to improve and establish himself as a permanent member of the team?
I don't think Zac Fisher is having the same impact as he was last year although his stats are probably on a par.

Of course our old players are getting a bit poorer but there's nothing much knocking down the door to push them out of the side.

Fisher has been highlighted as the second cog in our midfield wheel behind Cripps and has been manned up hard most weeks
and hasnt coped with extra attention. With Cripps also under the pump from taggers we dont have the manpower to help Fisher out.
SPS isnt physical and either are Walsh or Dow...

Fun fact of the day. Brendan Bolton enjoys playing against the bombers. He has his best 'vs record' against them with 60% win ratio.

You didn't see the rip to the guts that dropped Sidebottom EB?

Samo dishes out quite a lot but it will be good when Stocker gets a midfield gig.  I can't believe the physicality he brings as an 18 year old.

We drop players for that stuff.

Last week daisy was the only player I saw ran past the ball carrier and put physical pressure on a chasing player.

This week dropped.

Why bang on about it? You know why he was dropped - you mightn't agree with the decision but it is done....

I fear our blokes will turn up today thinking they only needed to do just that, turn up and get a win.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Tippenwoody(sp?) is their barometer. We need to shut him down.
