Turn back? Why, we only just got here.

On the face of it we haven’t had the greatest of weeks. Major figures at the club have gone and been replaced with unknown quantities. I’ll tell you something else having listened to Liam Scully, that’s the way it’s going to be.

You didn’t have to read between the lines of Scully’s interview on BBC Radio Lincolnshire to get the picture. The club judge that the points gathered so far and the prospect of gaining more are sufficient to enable the club to cut the wage bill for this season and to begin phase two. Gathering a youthful team, bring some of those players through the ranks and eventually sell them on to underpin the bid for continued success.

I’ve harped on about Peterborough United in this blog and on BBC Radio Lincolnshire my view of the future was expounded upon by none other than Steve Thompson. Maybe he reads the blog. It’s not rocket science though, locate young telent, get them in the first team, sell on.

Brentford were held out to be a model for us, yes please would be my response to that, look a little closer to home according to our friendly local pundit. As you know if you read my theories regularly, my thoughts exactly.

As for the present, we are where we are. The spending that propelled us to league one is officially over, Tyler Walkers departure was not welcomed but is fact, the players brought in are the squad, except for a mystery signing that may or may not materialise but don’t expect it to be Jamie Vardy’s long lost brother.

I’m a baby boomer. However much we may moan and groan about the way of the world and the way the country’s going we’ve never had it so good. Similarly there are fans of our football club who have only known success. Probably not readers of this blog but they will be out there. Well, those days are, for the moment, over. The new reality is difficult games, steady progress, some disappointments along the way. No magic fix, no new Messiah. Alone again, naturally.

Except it’s not quite that scary. At least the club have a map, a clear path to follow. We supporters have to do the only thing we can. Support.

It’s not been an easy week, not been an easy season. Nothing worthwhile is usually easy. We found our level last season, now we’re above it. The club intend to stay here until something better can be achieved.

Actually, I can’t wait.
