Yeah Dave Brooks, we are going to "flog the life" out of poor Carlton but I can't see any alternative unless the Franco man comes up to the plate!

Hate to be the eternal pessimist but after 45 years of it I simply can't get out of the habit. I honestly thought we would struggle not least because we play all the teams who finished above us last term before Xmas and of those we only beat Fulham last season and as you know, winning at home is imperative.

So far two down, two defeats, and some shocking defensive errors. Just a thought but have we too many players to choose from all of a sudden! When we had all the injuries the team picked itself and they rolled up their sleeves and got on with it. Now, who knows our best line-up?
