Interested to read Rudge's comment about all the negativity. Of course we all want the team to do well this season but the comments made on here are based on the facts as we see them. I think we are being realistic rather than negative. If say San Marino were playing Brazil and you said San Marino didn't stand a chance is that being negative or realistic????

Going into a season with players playing out of position and a small squad doesn't exactly fill you with confidence.
