Watch out for people muddying the waters and revising their predisvtions downwards and then claimning this was always their prediction. I stuck my colours to the mast and am not afraid to let people know.
My prediction of 17th doesn't look so stupid if you look at our form in the last 6.
This will be confirmed by our lack of strengthening in the Jan window. Still as I have said many times before, the objective has been consolidation this year.
Totally agree with you Alpine, but we didn't show our intent in the summer and now the wheels are starting to come off, our form in the last 6 is poor.
Which is what I have been saying since summer and what I have been pilloried for saying !
We did not prepare fully in the summer for a full season and I maintain it WILL cost us promotion.
