We are now, of course, desperately short of players. Well, experienced players. The inclusion today of Marvin Sordell and Lee Hodson rather proves that point.
But football has never been just about having the best players. That's why its so much better than rugby. The sheer unpredictability is what makes it so much more entertaining. The types of teams that often do well, who don't have the best players, usually find a common reason or goal that makes them that much stronger as a group.
The goals to bring this team of journeymen, youngsters and loanees together seem to get more numerous by the day. Judas, first of all going, followed by his vile attempts to get Tommy on the cheap, everyone writing the team off because Tommy and to a far far lesser extent Jobi have gone, and now Mike Williamson going home saying he doesn't want to play with his teammates anymore 'cos he is too good for them.
I think their reaction today was fantastic. We could so easily have got heavily beaten in this fixture and no-one would've been at all surprised. But instead we almost won the game. And we'd have taken a draw before kick off so lets not get downhearted to come away with a point. We're doing okay. 5 games in, six points, mid table. That'll do. Lets re-group over the international break and come out fighting even stronger and prove just how strong this group of players can be together as a team.
