You have to be horrible when you haven't got the ball.
We gave ourselves a hill to climb and we climbed it.

I remember being asked at various stages last season "Would you take 17th place now?". Come the last game of the season, the answer was definitely yes. At the start of the season, then the answer was probably yes. But looking back at the season as a whole, then the answer is probably between yes and no.

The walking wounded are starting to walk.

You've got a good manager.
His Prozone stats are often in the 80s, 90s.
All the boxes are ticked. The yeses and the positives are coming back from the medical department.
