New Year's Optimism

After a miserable 2004 has passed, perhaps us faithful fans have better things to look forward to this year.

Let's look at the positives of the last three games - two draws and one victory.

Lennie's new "diamond" formation seems to be working, with loanster Junichi Inamoto playing just behind the front men.

This formation has given us a more solid and balanced look, as well as guiding the side to two successive clean sheets.

We are still only two points above Gillingham, but only six points away from Leeds in 14th place.

If our mini revival continues, we could soar up the table.

Gary O'Neil's stint at Ninian Park saw City's results improve and hopefully Inamoto's arrival will inspire the Bluebirds to reach the dizzy heights of mid table.
