Bookies have 4 teams more likely to be relegated than us. [Link]

Before SA arrived I thought we had a group of players that had talent but looked disorganised. That lacked natural left sided players. Had no ball winning midfield player to shield the defence.Lacked the physical and mental capacity to see games out. The previous manager had barely deviated from the tactics that had not worked throughout 2016.

After a month under SA, I think he's assessed the squad, recognised it's deficiencies and begun to address them. He's changed the shape of the team. The club have signed players in the positions where we were lacking. And for the first time in a long time, the team showed the resolve needed to get a result, as at Bournemouth on Tuesday.

The ' green shoots ' of recovery. A win that has given everybody a lift. But a long way to go yet. However I think we have the right man for the job and I think we will see the investment that the club made in January, pay off.

Time for positive thinking.

What happens is, much like up at Newcastle I reckon, somebody can't let it go. Then somebody makes a thing of how they can't let it go. Then someone else pipes up that, yeah, they can't let it go.

Then a smart arse like me comes along and picks that person up for extending the boring pardew chat. Then someone else, who's maybe not quite full shilling, wades in calling Pardew a rude name.

Then someone else thinks. f*** it. I'm in. I hated that guy pardew. I'll just say something.

Before you know it, the intellectual colossi* of HOL -- bexleydave and Rudin hedman -- are having it.

*doesn't look right as the plural of colossus but there you go

Another one line poster you never really know what they're thinking. Pop up every several hours, try to be funny, say 4 words and nestle back down again.
