The Mail Bag

Where are we?

It's fair to say the fixtures of the last Month or so have been a challenge. Bearing in mind how we on here expected it to go and now the out-turn, I wonder what the judgement is.

From my view (not as detailed as Ken's, sadly) we have done well. Since the Villa loss, we have conceded very few goals; despite no or few strikers we have scored, and mainly against the top teams.

Young players are playing, probably out of necessity, as due to finances we have a small and at this time stretched squad, but it is really good to see them.

The squad seems to be really close and working together, logic says that if we are missing players now, that they will be fit at the "business end" of the season.

We are progressing at this time, a mix of top guys and young players comming through. Blimey, a loan deal or two, Jo, a bit of a cup run, change of Assistant Manager, and the omens are there.

Top balcony was cold then back in the early 80's and it still is now, but it is getting warmer.

Where are we? We’re on our way to Wembley. Having supported the Toffees for 46 years one lesson really does stick in my mind. Shit happens. And it quite often happens to us and has a habit of coming out of nowhere. This has been a really good few weeks to be a blue. Moyes and the lads have done us all proud but don’t get over excited about it, just enjoy it now. And it’s warmer in the Lower Bullens as the low roof keeps the heat in.

The staff and lads deserve a big pat on the back. We were taking about how important it was to get through the past two months fixture congestion and important ties. Arsenal and Manure was a bit disappointing (which says a lot!). And with zero strikers too. A big fat sticker for the everyone of them.
