Walking on air, amongst the glum Tickers yesterday afternoon, but woke up this morning thinking, how long can this go on for.
The main threats to the sustainabiity of our great current performances are...
1 Loss of fitness
2 Loss of effort
3 Suspensions
4 Injuries
5 Transfers out in January
1 Can't see this happening, as Mr. B has them working hard and performing, like they did before he left.
2 Ties into 1. Will they burn out, lose motivation. They are giving it loads these days. Can that be maintained, only B knows the best stick and carrot balance
3 As we have seen with our alternating RBs tis will test. We need more depth of pool in defence certainly, if every result means a card or two for a defender. Perhaps less noticable in other areas.
4 Without a doubt our performance is getting noted by the other teams in the league, and, as we have seen from Blackie, they will carry on niggling key players. Have we the depth of pool to cover in mid and striker areas? Two of our top strikers are currently out. Three if your count McDonald.
5. There have been rumours, but chequebooks must be opened. Here's hoping Craig can sell who he wants, and only who he wants, and get some cover for crucial areas, though we are always vulnerable to lightening strikes from bigger clubs, like Dundee Utd... :tic01:
