In association football do the middle section of teams who won't get into European places and have no worries about relegation have 38 dead rubbers a season?
There's a lot to play for: making a good show of ourselves, not finishing 8th, getting younger lads used to playing in the first team, getting Sandow settled in...
We need to use a good end to this season even if we're not getting into the Play-offs. I don't think a single one of genuinely believed we were going to get to Old Trafford this season anyway and I've never really been confident about even getting into the top four.
We aren't good enough. We aren't failing, despite not playing well. We're comfortably the 6th/7th best team in this competition and that's where we'll finish.
