1.The MA method is slowly evolving and, slowly but surely, the players are tuning in to it. Some still look a bit lost: I'm not naming names, but I think there are a few players in the starting line-up who won't make the cut at season's end.
2.It's no secret that we look more secure defensively with Bossie in the team. I still wince when he fully commits to a challenge though but thankfully, his timing is much better than I give him credit for. Looks more at home with playing it out from the back too. The addition of Bridcutt has also made the tactic look less hazardous.
3.Despite the misgivings amongst a few of the faithful, this squad of players is far too good to go down
We are a team in transition and the green shoots of recovery are already showing through with some flowing moves.
In MA, I trusted from the outset and I see no reason to change my mind.
