Even when beating the Gills 4-3 we looked very frail at the back. Positives I can see are as follows:-

Cook's post match comments from Swindon suggest to me that he grasps the realities of the situation very well and seems very positive as to how we can get back on course. It can't be a quick fix, however, for a club of our resources.

He has already made what seem to be, hopefully, three good acquisitions. I have only personally seen Devitt in action so far, but early impressions are very favourable.

Judging by this messageboard, the fans in general are backing the manager to come good, and hopefully this will show in the crowd continuing to give the team vocal backing at a difficult time.
Keep the faith, Malcolm. Don't vote with your feet!
