Lets face facts, everyone hoped, if not belived, that the new managers had got it right first time, a finely tuned unit that would brush everything before it aside.
But this is the real world and the unpredictable face of football. The team are still unbeaten so the progress made on last season is immense but it is plain to see that there is some way to go yet and even when changes are made teams are not going to lay down at York Street and let us steamroller over them. Merely because of the clubs infrastucture teams raise their game at ground such as York Street, Gigg Lane and The Walks, that's the way of it.
Would it really be a contest if we were to run up scores of five, six and seven each and every week. The tedium of that would be as bad if not worse than waiting for the first home victory.
