Quote: rpw "I agree. You've made some very handy signings. You were a long way off the top teams last term though on a consistant basis and when it counted but i think you are shoe in's for top 6. On a seperate note sadly for the English game they are all overseas signings but same can be said of most teams on that note.'"
Back end of the season we were playing at a level that - on a consistent basis - should have given us a decent shout at the top 4. Trouble was, for much of the rest of the season we were playing at a level that deserved bottom 2
I have a suspicion Stuart Reardon will prove to be a far most astute signing than most are allowing, tbh.
I also suspect that the deals for the two younger Burgii may prove to be the most astute of all.
And I am quite optimistic about a top-6 finish - we may even make the 4 IMO if we hit the ground running, the three-quarters play out of their skins and we have a bit more luck than last year with injuries. Although I'd feel a bit more confident if we had signed one more - and quality - three-quarters, since (as every man and his dog has observed) we hardly look world-class in that department...
Feel free to write that down someplace - at least we'll be clear what I have to eat humble pie over, if it transpires my optimism proves to be bollox!
