FOTB
I think the result against Bournemouth and how the team ground out a result would not have happened a few weeks ago.
It appears not only is there a new team spirit and fight within the team but the rub of the green seems to have gone our way of late.
It was another great result on the previous Saturday, the first time I have seen us win in Carlisle in four visits! Results like that will keep Willie in pole position for the vacant position, hopefully up to the finishing line (wherever that may be).
Off the field as is the norm I get very little mail when we are doing well, prior to the last four games I was inundated with complaints, so three more points will make my job a lot easier.
Since the departure of Nigel Spackman I have attended several meetings with the board to discuss the way forward, things are moving along as I would expect and I am confident the right decisions are being taken. It is key the board and fans get behind Willie 100%.
Looking at the current table we are only seven points off of the Play-Offs or five points off the bottom (just for the pessimists).
A couple current things going on: Firstly the managerial search. I have seen so many rumours as to who the club has spoken to and who has been at the club meeting with the Chairman.
Just to set the record straight, the club has not made any approaches or interviewed any candidates. We are 100% behind Willie, why people start these rumours I really don't know.
Secondly, a couple of fans have come up with the idea of commissioning a set of new gates, not any old gates but ones we will all be proud of. The gates will be bought by the fans and take pride of place at the entrance to the club. We are looking at comparisons with Hyde Park, Liverpool and Aston Villa in terms of size and quality.
We have met with the club who are 100% behind the idea. I will keep you updated with any further developments.
