We are two league games into the new season

If we could keep out long range shots we'd be mid table

This has been one of my favorite threads in a while -- shows both ends of reaction to four+ seasons gone largely awry. The most important thing for CR and others to do is to tell fans that they're not content with poor play or poor results; that they won't hide behind a rebuilding program to excuse away another few seasons of bad football. I for one believe this squad, with or without Charlie, and with another addition or two on the back line, will fare decently this season and be poised to advance into the PL again in the season that follows. If Charlie stays, then there has to be an attitude change from TF and CR down that says, "now, we are in it for promotion".
