Hitting the ground running...

[tazmancblue]

I have to say that I am growing and growing in confidence and excitement towards the future. I expect to beat Utd now and have a good run in the FA Cup and would be happy with top 6 in the league. It's better than we have had for years, and I think with Mancini we will have a better opportunity.

One thing that has been lacking recently is a balanced side positionally. Also, there has been some indiscipline with players not maintaining their shape, particularly when the opposition are in possession. I can't see Manciti allowing this to happen.

We may not see as many 4-3 victories, but I doubt we'll see as many draws from winning positions.

Let's just hope the players respond well and we get a new manager bounce.

first post be gentle not,we want to get top 4 for champs league, mancini got sacked for bein crap andfailing with inter ,is it good enough to reach champs league and fail ,or do we need another manager to succeed if we qualify.

I am so sick of the "the Italian league was weak" crap. If Hughes could have led the team to wins against the weaklings of the PL he would still be here.

just asking the question why you would waant someone to manage our team to champs league when he,s already been sacked for failing
