Ok, toon arabia playing well, but thats at home. When we start to carve teams up at home, I'll concede we're very, very good
A week ago we were feeling frustrated - pleased but frustrated - at outplaying Toon for most of the match and not beating them, particularly as we had the chances to do it and Pope was MOTM.
Today they gave Citeh a good run for their money! We’re doing alright! We are only three games in, though.
Not height necessarily imo, but a player with pace and strength who stretches defencesCoincides with welbeck taking maupays spot. Need to sign a striker with height as back up.

As the OP of this thread, thats kinda my point. I'm feeling dangerously optimistic and it is incredibly uncomfortable.Let's just wait and see. Absolutely terrify me, threads like this.
I can't remember exactly when we heard the club's five year plan (to achieve a top ten finish). But I'm pretty sure it wasn't as long as five years ago.
The publicly stated objective, until this season, has always been survival.
As we have already achieved that first five year goal of a top ten finish, it seems entirely reasonable to expect another five year plan to have been made. The next logical goal that Tony Bloom would have set the club, is European football. I completely understand why this isn't in the public domain - to stop any distractions or pressure from the media. But I just can't countenance any scenario in which the executive would have rested on their laurels, and would not have made that their next target, representing a milestone for the club.
Given that we remain a work in progress, I believe this is a matter of 'when' and not 'if'.
