It's impossible to say what any of these players might have been doing for Saints when they were got up to our standard fitness and gelled into our squad properly. Look at the turnaround Sharp has made since his earlier games for us. He could have easily just continued that way without good fitness and man management.
I no longer care what any of the permutations are or where we finish, just as long as we get this season over with as quickly as possible regarding promotion. It's all that matters to me now after all these ups and downs.
I totally agree about the fitness aspect, but would add that the team spirit compliments the fitness in a great way. I've been impressed how quickly most new players seem to fit in so quickly with their new club mates, making a double whammy when they hit full fitness.
Strange thing about internet footy. When the second goal went in I was taking a bucket pee in the garage. I had to cut it short to get to the laptop to "cheer". What kind of idiot am I!? Somehow, I just have to be heard cheering? The internetz is nutz. Or at least, I am.
