Rome wasn't built in a day.

This season me, Mrs BM and our daughter are actually looking forward to going to games, as opposed under Agar just like thousands of other fans, finding it a chore to go and watch the SOS.

Now the signs are looking good and I get the feeling that long term, something special is building. You can just sense it.

I don't think we are anywhere near the finished article yet but we are moving in the right direction. As other people have said we will know better when we reach the half way stage, but we are still not playing with the same intensity as the top teams.
I think the most important thing is we are steadily going forward and if AP is true to his word and keeps flashing the cash then PG looks like the man to make us in to the team we have all wanted for so long now.
That said we will most probably have a few losses soon and i hope the team can take the losses and carry on.

Gentle will learn more from today's performance then the derby whooping.
Are we the finished article?
No not by a long shot but we are making very good progress in all aspects.

think todays' game is hard to judge if we are back, 2 games in 3 days is not the normal weekly schedule, i'll wait until the wigan and leeds match to pass judgement

Not the finished article by far, but the signs are there. The little things such as playing with a smile on their faces are evident. They are together as a group and trust each other and above all, trust in the gaffer.
