    not had the immediate effect that we had hoped for over Christmas, lets hope tomorrow starts a run of results.

    It felt like we finished off on Sunday playing like the end of last season with the Gung Ho pressing style, could that have signalled a change in what we can expect for the New Year. Tomorrow will probably tell.

    It's not always immediate...take the new chappie at Boro...taken a few weeks, but they seem to have turned the corner.

    Early days...keep smiling.

    it is still early days, relatively speaking. 23 games and 69 points till to play for. but another defeat against birmingham, and we're back in pretty much exactly the same dogfight we were in on jan 1 last year. i'm just not convinced the current squad has it in them, to repeat the fight they showed last season.

    Some teams seem to be at it from day one, others it does take longer. I am smiling Sparti and will be smiling at the end of the season.

    I thought that the tempo changed when Mellon sat down and Wilson started shouting the odds from the sidelines. Plus the fact Derby looked very ordinary after we scored !

    Derby were just as good as us at kicking the ball aimlessly into touch and misplacing passes. All this top of the table/bottom of the table stuff is just rubbish. Basically any team can beat any other in this league. How can you explain us beating Brighton away but failing to beat Donny and Yeovil?

    I said it on the way out on Saturday and I will repeat it here. This season the fourth from bottom team will survive on a ridiculously low points total (less than 45 I reckon), in contrast to last year. There are a lot of poor teams from play off places downwards who are capable of getting dragged into the mire. We are in trouble but we are not down yet
