Not as much of an apology that Tony Bloom would have to write for shitting in the Queen's handbag.

Being a newbie to this board, the OP confused the **** out of me.
FWIW I think CH has made some very smart signings. Kayal, Knockaert, Bong, Goldson, Hemed, Murphy, Rosenior and Hunemeier has looked good when not injured. He resigned Bobby who has won us plenty of points, was getting the best we’ve seen out of Solly until his injury and had the vision to bring Kayal and Stephens together in the middle. Not one of those listed could be considered a dud. In addition he’s bulked out the overall squad depth with greater quality. I’m a realist but I do believe that if CH can solidify those positions which will likely need further cover over the summer with solid signings (and he’s proven that he has a great eye for players) then we could very realistically obtain automatic promotion next season if we don’t go up this year.

You're not referring to any old somebody then?
I'm slowly learning what to do with those consistent somebodies on NSC.

Yes, I eventually figured it out.
This thread should be in gold for this post alone.
Oh.
I guess you were. We had about 26 points after the first 12 games and we were top I think.
Granted, a fluke on behalf of the Curly one, but nevertheless, that optimism proved right.
He wasn't being optimistic, he was just saying we needed to win half our games to finish in the top half, and he hoped we wouldn't be fighting relegation again.
On the plus side, it could be the fasted flounce in NSC history.
He did say "The first 12 games are critical. If we are to finish above half way we will need 6 wins and a couple of draws..."
I agree, it was the most monumental flounce.
Eh ? I was summarising the old posts.......not expressing a view now.......

I know. Then I pointed out OzMike's optimistic prediction which is spot on.

Hopefully Phil here will be the one that ends up spot on!
