But still two points and two places above the drop zone. I honestly thought pre-season that at this stage we would be firmly ensconced in the bottom three, but with hope for improvement from the turn of the year once Hecky had had longer with the new recruits. That we are above that is a good launch pad for the second half of the season, particularly with the ownership question positively settled and the prospect of further strengthening next month. I'm more confident of us staying in the division than ever now, and looking forward to Hecky working with better resources. Next season looks very exciting at this stage.
