Bit of perspective, it's not as bad as last year, or under hamilton

We didn't lose today. At this point last year we had 8 or 9 points and we were bottom

We've got 17 at the moment, and that's no where near as bad as last year, however high emotions are

A breakdown of Roeders perm signings give you

Pattison free
Clingan free
Bell 500k
Hoolahan 250k
Dejan free

Can anyone say any of those are bad judgement? Hoolahan was scoop of the season, but the players attitude hasnt' helped us

We had to wait for Bell to get fit, but then that's why we got a 1m+ player for 500k. He's fit now and we can enjoy what he can do, and look back on Wes's disappointing form as poor and unprofessional

Looking at the perms above, they are good signings and we're heading in the right direction.

In doing that Roeder uses loans to get quality in other areas, and in doing so, we've had the likes of Chedders Pearce, Bertrand, Lita, Grounds, Taylor, Kennedy, Sib etc. They are better than we have, they are a luxury, and they are a good way of taking us forward, albeit very slowly

It seems to me that that's our major failing as fans, patience

For the life of me though, the team at the moment is hardly the crumbling Rome that's made out on here week after week, after week
