If you're gonna save the day
And you're hearin' what I say
I feel your touch
Your kiss, it's not enough
And if you believe in me
Don't think my love's for the real
I won't take nothin' less than a deeper love
Let me tell you, no I
I need a miracle, I need a miracle
It's more physical
What I need to feel from you
Let me tell you, no I
I need a miracle, I need a miracle
It's more physical
What I need to get it through

Let's not forget hopefully we won't have to play catchup after 10 games like that flop di matteo 

Yeah but lets not forget DiM got 10 points from 11 games before getting sacked, and prior to Bruce's recent upturn in form he only got 2 points from a run of 10 games.

That's 21 games where we only picked up 12 points. Almost half a season!

Difference is bruce actually won games, di matteo couldn't even beat Luton Town.  He got one win against the worst side in the league!

Also let's not forget how many points dropped under a losing position? Di matteo deserved to be sacked.  He was woeful

I'm not denying that, but you can't on one hand say its all dims fault and on the other hand ignore Bruces pathetic run which was far worse. 11 games out of 46 is all Bruce missed. There was still plenty of time to get promoted. So to blame it all on DiM is very harsh.

I'm not ignoring it but difference is bruce bounced back after a few bad results can you honestly say you could see di matteo winning 5 out of 6 games?

DiM was awful and needed to go. But I'm just saying your original post saying we were playing catch up after the first 10 games.. I just wanted to point out that was 500% better than the run Bruce went on over a similar number of games - that is what really killed the promotion push. But the 2runs combined are bottom of the table form.

So let's break this down.  Di Matteo games

Won 1 Drew 7 lost 4 in his first 12 games

Bruce first 12 games

Won 7 Drew 3 lost 2 then the run that followed to February was 

Won 0 Drew 2 lost 8 (which I agree was very poor)

But difference is bruce was given time based on HOW he started and his first 12 results were 10x better di matteos flop era. And it was proven correct sticking with him with 5 wins out of 6

Bruce has taken a team with one win in 19 and and a club totally devoid of confidence and taken 38 points from 27 games which is top 10 form.

Given the huge turnover in players this season that's acceptable - not great but far from bad either .

the difference a settled and confident team will make next season will be seen but no doubt Bruce will still have his knockers?

I think I did, he said it was 500% better than bruce did in same number of games and clearly that is not the case as I have broken it down above

It is actually 38 from 26 which over a season would get us around 67 points and a top 8 finish. It is not really a true reflection though as he had no preseason and came into a squad on a dire run and a club on the back of years of struggle without an away win for 14 months.

I was hoping that he would have enough of an impact to get us into the play offs but it hasn’t transpired that way but you don’t have to look far to find reasons, beyond simply throwing the manager under a bus, as to why that is the case.

I am supremely confident that off the back of what I expect will be a strong finish to this season and a full pre season we will hit the ground running next year and ultimately be promoted.

As for what we can still achieve this season I think a top 10 finish, putting to bed the dire away form and instilling a wining mentality should all be achievable.
