I want to believe, but belief is something that has been encouraged many times over the past few seasons - only for us to have been left feeling let down when the familiar failings have crept in. This team has put in title winning half seasons a few times before, and still has to earn the benefit of the doubt. That said, I admire the way the team has responded to the loss of several key players, and we can now go into our next games with the hope, if not necessarily the belief that our form will continue - which is a good start.
