I agree with some of the people who've posted earlier.
* Time to start winning the games that we should win. No more draws with the Hulls of this world and definitely no more defeats against West Broms either. Consistency and a determination to not get beaten are two things we've long been crying out for. We're hinting at getting there, just lately. So that's promising, I guess.
* Find the above qualities and the "six-pointers" against the other scond tier teams (Villa, Everton, Spurs and whatever surprise packet emerges from the pack) will surely begin to take care of themselves.
* Realistically (and I don't care who we sign, just yet), we're a ways off of challenging the SKY4. That's not to say that we can't take points off of one or two of them - just that we we're going to lose far more of the 24 points on offer in those games than we'll gather up. Establish our position as "best of the rest" though and sooner or later we'll be ready to pounce when one of the SKY4 f**ks up.
* If we get beaten in either cup (and we probably will), I'd like us to do so with the dignity that was associated with the Hamburg defeat rather than the ignominy of Brighton and Forest.
*In short, turn up and TRY for every game. Players who look like they're interested in not just beating say, Sunderland away on a November night but who'll be disappointed in not stuffing them would be most welcome.
*Supporters who (tin hat on, here) can get over themselves and not take it as a personal affront whenever a player has a dip in form would be amazing. Nobody goes out on the field to try and make themselves look bad and City fans (myself, included) perhaps more than some others (perhaps not, too) would do well to remember that.
* There again, as we say in my part of the world... I may as well be dreamin' here as in bed, eh?
