Written by: Neil Shaw-Smith The season started so surrounded with negatives it was starting to look like a photographer’s archive. Thankfully a buoyant display against Arsenal showed a gallant and unlucky defeat with the bite and hunger supporters were looking for. This has opened the door for a little optiMoyesm for the games ahead. The…

Written by: Jonathan Lee A much better showing on Saturday night is reflected in the marks, but it’s always a worry when you play well and still don’t get any points!
