I think there can be little doubt we're heading in the right direction and at a much quicker pace than anyone expected. The giddiness of the City win after the run we'd been on is what makes these last two results so gutting.
So many positives, and it's so clear where we need to improve. Today sort of resets the expectations back to where they were. Top 4 and hopefully a trophy. Strengthen in the summer (hopefully with new owners) and we'll be in a very good position. Erik is clearly the man, which softens the blow. Quote:

Some things to work on:
Ball retention is an issue, particularly in the second half of matches when the team needs to slow the game down. Linked to the above, playing out from the back will always be poor with this keeper. No real depth upfront, or proper cover for Bruno. Don't create enough chances. Need to play the reserves in the Europa, prioritise the league. Think we'll get third if we avoid bad injuries. |

Confident we’ll get top four, which I didn’t think was realistic at the start of the season. I expect us to react too. Get on a good run again and cement that top four. Both Arsenal and city fixtures out of the way is big. |

that winning goal was of course a kick in the balls, but today we took the fight to them. we responded to going 1-0 and then 2-1 down rather than just allowing them to batter us as we'd have done in previous seasons. in the end it wasn't to be, but in perspective there's no shame in losing narrowly to the clear league leaders and scoring two against them.
today did however show that we're not quite up there yet and there is still work to be done, but it's a game by game process and we're getting there. 2nd/3rd is definitely the level of this current team. |

But it’s fine margins away at the likely champions. It’s night and day from what we’ve been used to. |

Huge strides have been made though. You were right - this bald £#%&!er is the one. |

We’ve certainly come along way and before the start of the week we dared to dream but we all knew we’re not close to being title winners yet
That being said ETH has to force these players to be brave 2nd half away from home and keep the ball instead of constantly playing hopeful long balls He’s gotten most things right but ETH has got to stop this %@#$&!s of playing Bruno on the right wing He is utter gash there and is a liability defensively Cost us the winner today as AWB was 2v1 because Bruno wasn’t doing his job |
