One thing i have started to feel and it isn't in anyway reflective on what happens but my confidence in the team is growing imeasurably.
Back to the unbeaten season and before with that team i used to feel when teams scored against us we would win i just knew it would come. For the last two seasons i haven't had that feeling i felt if a team scored thats it we were done we wouldn't even equalise. I feel we are starting to get that aura back i know we didn't win but Bolton are one of those teams i would have said we would have been finished if we conceded.
But today when we went behind even though we weren't playing well i just felt that we would score. The team is starting to get that presence and i think its filtering to other teams making them more nervous and giving us back some mental edge.
I know it doesn't always happen and we have seen games where we haven't scored but they were predominatly earlier in the season. But earlier i didn't feel we had the mental strength to come back we were often beaten when we conceded and i really feel its starting to turn and it is a great thing the team seem to be learning to never give up and adopting a you score against us we will definatly score against you which hopefully can be the basis for the same mentality we had earlier 2001-2004.
