Don't you just get that feeling....

That for the first time this season we are now embarking on an exciting journey? I had that feeling yesterday! An added bonus was it was also like when your going on an exciting trip and pulling away from the station (opening up a four point gap) and waving goodbye to a sobbing loved one on the platform (sheep).
It’s not the just two emphatic wins but the manner in which the team are playing and pulling together….Billy boy, I like your unfinished business and how much you love our club, probably more than you have any other. If you look back at the season, SOD was a good appointment but I think took us as far as he could go. He is a good manager but a bit of a cautious plodder. Examples, he’s known Pep for almost a year and didn’t know his best position until Pep told him? Another being that he set the team up to worry about the opposition, interesting reading Halfords comments which sound like a bit of a dig at SOD. AM…..well forget him that was just a mistake that was corrected very quickly. But what I do like is that Fawaz cleared the decks of the old acquisitions committee (marthur and Birt) before Billy came back, smart move. Billy has a spring in his step and sleeves rolled up which is transmitting to the players. Next stop if not this season then next ……the end of the rainbow!

Yes he has known Pep for a year and to begin with he played him in his proper position which went a long way towards staving off relegation - or was that Steve Cotterill's tactical nous

or by accident/needs must? I am not really sure we had the size of squad at the end last season but this season there were so many midfielder SOD seemed to have difficulty on how to piece his best midfield together.

Agreed; and he had to try to find someone to play wide right and hoped Pep could be the answer - which he wasn't
