Can you imsgine what we'll be like when we hit some real playing form.

Some people jumped all over me but seems Grant thinks there's another 60/70% more to come.

Apologies accepted.

Just got round to listening to that interview.
He continues to impress me with his attitude and I have every confidence in him to get us promoted.

I did say the other day Rovers haven’t got out of 3rd gear yet.
Obviously GM thinks the same.

Yeah, and some of the ones who shout loudest  on here thought I was being negative.
Plainly obvious that the playing form isn't there yet. That's why 4 wins out of 6 makes this squad a scary prospect.

  Nothing is easy Nudga, other teams will look to improve as well as the season progresses, and we have and do struggle against teams that knock us out of our rhythm, the Harrogate lads took the bookings for the tactical foul like a medal of honour never even looked at the ref brandishing the card, and knew that they were controlling the tempo and the way the game was being played.
  I expect more of that this season against certain teams who  will want us to play in front of them and across the field while they defend narrow and load men around their own area when we have the ball. It works against us if we don't get crosses into the box, and build up slowly.
  Despite that I think we have the management team and players  to overcome the problem, and can have a good season, but it will not be easy.

I was only saying to someone today, It doesn't seem like we are out of 1st gear yet. Which is really positive.

I think changing the team isn’t helping, the same as the start of last season he doesn’t know the best XI, injuries and a change of formation at MK away kick started our season.
