Expectations

[spyinthesky]

It is a nice warm feeling being a Saints fan at present.

 

Three League wins on the bounce (two away!!), 10 goals scored 3 against, plus progress in a Cup Competition (altho' let's forget the performance against Torquay!!).

 

Decent crowd in prospect tomorrow plus 3k+ going to Orient next week.

 

I suppose Saints fans are no different than others in so far as recent results have elevated the Manager and Team to star status rather than the underperforming bunch who struggled up to the start of October.

 

I very much hope that we can look forward to the rest of the season in a more positive frame of mind.

 

Key players avoiding injury and suspensions will be v helpful (as AP has recognised) as will keeping hold of saleable players and indeed strengthening the squad in January

 

We will suffer set backs along the way that's for sure and, perhaps, the negative feeings will be worse as the level of expectation rises.

 

Well done all of you who have kept the faith.

 

Let's just maintain a collective level head as the season progresses and hope to see the team rise up the League and banish the thoughts of the past couple of years of dire results.

I agree. Enjoy the rebirth of Southampton Football Club.

I wouldn't say its a 'rebirth' as such, just a better squad and an improvement in performances and results.
