Poppies Re-Leese-d

We all know one swallow doesn't make a Summer.  Equally we know that one good performance doesn't mean we are out of the relegation woods.  But, bloody hell, how refreshing was last night's effort against Mickelover?  Players that previously shrugged their way through sleepwalking defeats to all and sundry suddenly looked hungry, determined, communicative and active.  It shows how anaesthetised the players and supporters had been by Leese with his dismal outlook and tactics that simply putting in a 100% performance was so bloody entertaining.  Just seeing us looking to go toe-to-toe with another team rather than stand off them and watch them carve us like a Sunday roast, brought tears to eyes, smiles to faces and swelling in loins all around Latimer Park.

Langmead was solid.  Toseland expansive.  Sharpe dangerous.  Scott useful.  Miller excellent.  Even Clarke was spotted sprinting on at least two occasions.

As for the players, we'll tell you what.  Why don't we draw a line under the season so far?  We won't bang on about the lack of endeavour, the poor results and poorer performances.  Let's say the season started yesterday and we'll put Leese's wretched tenure firmly behind us.

How does that sound?  OK?  See you at Alvechurch.

Turning the corner at last?
