Yep, having a bit of a 'lull' at the moment. Didn't help having a Birmingham cast off as a manager
( only joking Zim). It's a bit boring being, as you say, a mid table non-entity...we went through a spell of having either promotion, play-offs,relegation or cup runs to keep the season going, but the most exciting thing this year was beating Liverpool at Anfield in the cup.
I think we've got a squad of decent players, just need the right leadership...easier said than done.
Good luck to Bournemouth in the play-offs... a bit of success is well overdue. Actually I was down that part of the world last week; very nice.
