Wishful thinking? Course it is - isn't that what a supporter is meant to do?
When I go to every game I leave the long discussions about Wane's future, Smiths half back play etc behind on the message board and will cheer every player even those I don't rate and I
never go to a game thinking we can't win. It's sport and anything can happen.
So on game day I am as blind an optimist as the most cherry 'n white rose tinted specs wearing happy clapper.
That said if you think it's wishful thinking Faz and Gells getting a game under their belt is going to make us competitive v Saints you can imagine most people think the same so you aren't going to get many
realistic responses.
Good to know that you're an optimist at games, Dave. I'll confess that I'm NOT a blind optimist as far as Wane goes - I do agree that we were better in attack when Harris was here, and don't appear to have replaced him like-for-like.
No, I didn't mean to suggest that Faz and Gells will be game-changers at this stage, just that they should be better than we saw against Cas.
The purpose of the thread is to do a bit to counter the constant stream of negative outlook and comment on here. Your opinions on Smithy and Wane are well-reasoned and perfectly valid, To be fair, you are not on every thread 10 times a day banging on about them either . . . but the combined effect of everyone's posts which repeat the same thing ad infinitum is something I find depressing and pointless.
Some, such as The Booze Hound, have given up posting because of this which only tips the balance further in favour of the doom and gloom brigade (no insult intended, just my response to the happy clapper tag
)
