Yes it is the present that is important. We need to be able to win without any player, of course when we lose a key player like Mitro it can be a blow if there is no back up or real alternative, but that would be a failure by the club for lack of foresight, although the blow can be reduced by an adequate alternative injuries permitting, it’s called vision.
I don’t think we can look towards next season until we know the outcome of this season. Of course we may have a fight on our hands to stay in top six, on the other hand we are only 7 points behind second place with 19 games and 57 points to play for. It’s a funny old game, especially in the Championship, anything can happen, any week, any game, any scoreline, any result, we never know what is round the corner. With Middlesborough on Friday, can we forecast a scoreline that is correct, of course not it’s all guess work, that is why the next game is the most important. I am not even thinking about next season, why would I, so much can happen this season, we could end up going to Wembley twice, wouldnt that be fun. A week in football is a long time, small steps but in the right direction, providing our defence is sorted out for the rest of the season.
