Brian Smith is buying a pretty decent squad ' on Paper ' as they say.
They shouldn't be a push-over next season.
Correct but then all squads are on paper at this point. I think we have all seen potentially good squads fail and seemingly unpromising one do well. The rot can set in unexpectedly at even the best run clubs, Leeds have a huge hole to fill and although I suspect they will we may still see a blip as the adjust.
For me the "They shouldn't be a push-over"is music to my ears. In my 30 years as a Trinity fans we have only ever been below average, average and occasionally quite good. However until last year I and many others gained sucker from the fact that generally we were hard to beat and had a bit of spirit even when we were not very good. Last year was just shameful on occasion and had P&R been in place I'd have accepted it without complaint as we deserved it. We now have a slightly undeserved second chance (nothing to do with the buying new players3/4 through the season rubbish) so it would appear we are going for it - our way of saying sorry for last years no show
