A few weeks ago I posted a blog which questioned whether Bradford City would ever win again. Since then City have won three games - two at home and one away. Life seems a lot better than it did back then. There seems to be a new confidence in the team and although the first half on Saturday against Peterborough was not brilliant, we at least seem to be showing Stuart McCall's work ethic on the pitch.
It is amazing how football can impact on your life. Last season's relegation performance was dreadful. In fact for a couple of seasons we have been pretty dire and for the first time in fifty years of going to watch City I found myself drifting into deep thoughts about anything but football at the games. Staring into space and watching pigeons flying around seemed infitely more interesting than watching the dross.
The boredom was intense and the lack of any confidence in the ability to win was quite startling. This carried over to the beginning of this season, but the signs are that, whilst there is work to do, we are heading in the right direction. Just as well, as we do not want to end up in the Blue Square Conference. Optimism rules. Onwards and upwards.
