NOW is the time to stick together

 I've watched our team for 56 years so have seen (many) lows and (some) highs. The last 2 years under Jol have been grim (one of the lows); now is the time to forget that and for EVERYONE TO PULL TOGETHER. It will take some time though

Absolutely agree, and we must remember that it took Roy several months to turn it around - indeed he only managed it in the nick of time.

Rene has two advantages over Roy - more time, and he has seen the squad in training and action over the last two weeks whilst not directly responsible for them. So hopefully he'll do as well as Roy and keep us up this season with a view to pressing on in 2014/5.
