Given all the feel good sport themed movies I grew up with, yes, anything is possible. But it will require dedication, positive attitudes, and a training montage set to kenny loggins or other 80s synth-heavy rock music.
I'm not denying any of your criticisms or arguments, just the claim that he had low confidence because he wasn't starting. He was starting. The only league game he didn't feature in was when he had a virus, of the other 45 he started 40 (the most of all strikers, greer and bridcutt are the only...
He started our first 29 league games. It was 26 games before he was taken off significantly before the end of the game. The only game he didn't start prior to February this year was v Gillingham, because he was called up for the scotland squad. Of 46 league games he started 40, and the six he...

1 v bristol
1 v leeds
1 v palace
2 v ipswich
1 v cardiff
1 v derby
1 v birmingham
3 were penalties.
If you accuse someone of having bad stats, then the stats should actually be bad. If not, you are wrong. He was accused by somerset of needing ten shots to get one shot on target, even if you take out the penalties, this is not true. It goes from 33% (fractionally over 3/10) of shots are on...
