We all know the next three games are big and today was a distraction. Bottom line is, we didn't get thrashed which is what lots of us feared and partly expected. So half glass full.
I've seen enough improvements in recent months to think we can get 6 points out of 9 at home. And the Huddersfield game is massive.
If we can get close to, or all of the first 11 out in the coming weeks and play like we did against Hull, and make the most of being at home, just maybe!
But we have to get out of the idea that there's money, new players coming in or just endlessly talking about all of the mistakes on and off the pitch, bad signings or rubbishing lots of our players (however true). We are where we are and there's 20 games left. We have a really decent manager, better than we deserve, and as a collective, it's always about the collective and team that wins games.
At Cardiff there was booing at half time. I mean, we were bad but booing your own team when they are lacking confidence and being a bit unlucky (two decent penalty shouts days before at Ipswich) . And given how dogs&*t we were under GA, getting behind the team, being the 12th man etc could make the difference.
I'm sure loads will jump on my back now and tell me I'm wrong etc. But if Marti can keep getting 2-3-5% improvements out of them, and they play and grow as a team, we can and will stay up. I've seen a 20-30% (if not more) improvement over 2 months. With most of the recent games, these small extra margins can get us 3 points. If by some small miracle we can actually strengthen the team, even better. But if we can't, then we have to get behind them.
I really hope this post doesn't look daft after Watford. Marti is going to save us.
