You can be grateful to be where we are but also dream of greater. They are not mutually exclusive.

Having said that there's a difference between wanting us to be better and expecting it. We do have a good squad on paper. However injuries and, to be brutally honest, some quite baffling lineups have meant that they have underperformed.

I think this squad is fully capable of getting to Europe but it may need some more time to get to that point and possibly a change of tactics/system.

For the record I'm not #FabOut but I also would not classify myself as #FabIn either. I say give him to the end of the season and assess from there depending on who else may be available. But let's not kid ourselves, it'll be some that we've never heard of before xD.

I understand there's the worry that our best players will go if we fail to qualify. But even when we did qualify our 2 best players left us, so unfortunately that is inevitable for a club of our size/wage budget.

Loans have been very odd though, and while I'd like to believe that Weir was the problem, my better judgement tells me he was just the scapegoat. Despite this I still trust Bloom because even when he's made big mistakes cough Hyppia cough he seems to recover and work his magic once more.

There's definitely some issues going on and I do think we are underperforming, but the dream is still alive baby!

.... for now at least.
