But I'm team positive reds. Not quite as deluded as Pure in thinking that we'll win the league, but I think we'll have a better finish than I predicted before the start of the season. And I intend to keep this positive outlook until at least 10pm tonight.

Exactly.
Yeah we had the likes of TC23 and Welbeck as part of squads and starting regularly in 2013, but like you say we had genuine quality in and around them.
There’s hope for this squad, but with a few injuries and we’re relying on the likes of Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Young and yeah three of those were a part of the squad in 2013 but we haven’t got the leadership, quality or SaF to paper over those cracks.
I’m positive going forward, but let’s not get carried away because there’s still plenty of work to do. Hopefully the younger kids kick on and show they’re ready to be considered as first team players.
