Cass,it's not really optimism regarding mellon because i don't rate the guy, his football is poor.

It's confidence in the players and fans(they really do matter) to battle through and keep us up. so far,I haven't seen them down tools, and on form, we still have a manageable spine to the team in hudson/manny/fondop, although at the moment they are out of form.
However, form goes up and down at this level, and we will pinch some wins here and there.
when we got relegated the 2nd time with lemsagam, the players were inferior to the other teams and we played all season with a midfielder as a sole striker(Hallam hope) and we were lambs to the slaughter, but this team isn't that poor(he says nervously)😀
