An air of optimism

I have to agree with that.

There is definitely a renewed air of optimism amongst us all since Bruce arrived.

He seems to have the tactical nous that was missing before, and he obviouslty has a way with the players. His achieveents as a player will help in maintaining the respect of our players, and he's certainly stronger than Hutchings in the personality department.

We've gone from expecting defeat and despondency to a real belief that we can beat teams and climb up this league. The quality of play has picked up too.

If he can stabilise us and keep us up this year - he has every opportunity to build something special next season.... if he stays.....
