I think this bodes well for next season.
The players are beginning to understand what the manager wants of them. It will make a change to not have a summer of total wholesale change and about a dozen new guys to fit in. Having the continuity should be a big benefit. You have to give the board some credit for once for backing the manager and having some foresight to get players under contract for more than 1 year deals.
3 or 4 quality additions (and by that I mean players pushing to start not just to fill up the squad numbers) and we should be looking to push on and have a right go. The nucleus is there already.
We hopefully wont be biting our finger nails at the end of this season as things look. Personally I think the play offs are out of reach though not impossible but lets finish the season strong and really have some self belief over the summer that next season will be a successful one.

One year yes.
And as far as Jolley is concerned I gave him full credit for last season's escape.(look back and check if you want) but this season is a new start, he's had two transfer windows, it can't be Slade's fault much longer (that excuse is getting as hairy around the edges as the ITV digital money) so he's got it all to prove and I still don't think he's the right man (I think I am still entitle to an opinion on that unless of course the Fishy police have passed a law that says I can't)
My belief that Jolley is not going to be our Messiah who takes us to Div 3 or even Div 2 is every bit as valid as that of the nutters who think he's going to be the best thing ever for GTFC and that Bogle was going to play for England
Don't you like being right? You're a lying fornicator if you say otherwise
Oh, and I'm not convinced about Ring and Dennis either, yes I know it's too soon but again some are already going on about what great signings they are. Truth is we don't know yet
Who is saying anything is Slades fault now? We have scored more points after 31 games then we did after 41 last season and slowly starting to play nice football. Don't think anybody is blaming Slade anymore. Being right or watching my team do well? I'll get far more happiness from the latter. So from 10 minutes on Saturday your convinced Dennis is a poor signing? Brilliant. Wish you were chief scout.

Ipswin do you think with this increasing awareness of mental health problems to refer to people as nutters?
If you are someone who regards those with mental health problems as 'nutters' then yes, my use of the term is probably out of order in your opinion. I however do not subscribe to that way of thinking so my use of the term is in no way incorrect.

There are still constant references on here to Slade and his awful tenure, it will be like the ITV money and Fenty's time at the helm, it will be brought up forever whenever things go mammaries up I have checked and I can't find where I said Dennis was a poor signing. I said I wasn't convinced about him (being a good signing) As you point out after just 10 minutes no one can be sure whether its a good signing or a poor one, perhaps those getting all excited about it last week should take note too

I had my doubts about Ring but, based on the improvement in just three weeks, then he'll be better than Fox or Dixon. Regarding Dennis, 15 minutes isn't long enough to judge anybody but he was right on the spot to tap in Wooly's cross if Demetriou hadn't done it for him. What puzzles me is how you don't see the improvement that MJ is making. I was very worried post-Morecambe I admit. But I'm also happy to admit that I was wrong - we look a different side now - how many times have you seen us since then?

Thought Ring showed excellent technical ability on Saturday and also made some well timed tackles. Looks like he is still a bit short of match practice but I remain optimistic.
I am always of the opinion that I need to see someone have around a dozen games before deciding if they are good or bad signings, then like a Rob Jones they prove you wrong the next season!!!
Early indicators are Swedish lads will be good signings and one touch from Dennis was sublime and he was in the right place to score if need be on Saturday. Too early to tell but if his arrival gets Cook scoring its job done anyway.
