Deep down, despite everything and the changes in my mood, this is exactly how
I feel too...
I still love watching us play even when results aren't with us, we've watched
too much rubbish in the last 15 years not to appreciate what we have now,
however transient it may be and even if it doesn't lead to the Premiership.
There are moments in every game (some more than others) where I think "f*ck me
that was good."

I'm not in quite in the unremittingly positive camp that Naefy occupies, but
am more positive than last year for the following reasons.There is no team
pursuing us equivalent in quality to Sheff U.WBA are not as good as
Norwich.No-one wants the play-offs, but they still offer a chance to get
promoted and the last 50 minutes v Derby really was a debacle that even we
would struggle to repeat.Debacle-wise, I also agree that I'm not sure QPR
qualifies. I went to Loftus Rd twice last season and we lost both, and my trip
to Craven Cottage at Xmas was equally unsuccessful - we have lost our last 8 in
London (guess that means anything at Brentford is a bonus) and while we can't
have that continuing I thought that we were again unfortunate whilst not
helping ourselves - the unnecessary nature of the Phillips tackle was
debacle-esque (surely not a word) given how small our squad is and how
important he is to the way we play.
The pressure is off the chasers - if they do get up to us and/or WBA then they
suddenly have something to lose and could suffer accordingly.I still love
watching us play even when results aren't with us, we've watched too much
rubbish in the last 15 years not to appreciate what we have now, however

Not sure how much of a "debacle" QPR was. A penalty turned down at 0-0 and
before Bamfords confidence was shot for the day, followed by a 'goal' that no
one in the football world thinks should have stood, then we missed a penalty
late on. Yes the result was awful but the performance etc was not that bad.Fans
are losing it for 2 reasons - one last season and the awful collapse, we all
worry that history is repeating itself.Second is the recall of Nketiah, despite
him being less than peripheral whilst he was here, and the, as yet, failure to
replace him. Given west brom going worse than us recently and brentford, Fulham
and forest all dropping unexpected points things are still very much in our own
hands. Beat Millwall and Wigan and things will look miles better
The new lad from City , signing as I type, could give us a boost - he seems a
'wild card' and if he can give us that unpredictability we lack at times he
could be the shot in the arm we need ( provided Bielsa gives him a game !)The
future is still white, keep the faith.
