Forget everything else! Our time is now...

by toonsy ·

I just thought I'd pen a quick article asking for calm from everyone ahead of our final two league fixtures of the season.

Please don't confuse my plea for calm as an indication that I'm happy or for people not to panic. It's more that I'm asking everyone to focus on what is most important and that is our quest for survival.

I keep hearing a lot of questions that have been brought about by our poor season. Understandably so and I realise that it's always going to happen after a season like we've had. However I just think it's time to knock the questions on the head, temporarily, until we know what is what and where we'll be next season.

The reality is that none of the kinds of questions posed can be adjudged to have any real accuracy until we know if we're going to survive or not. Everything is on hold at the moment and whilst I'm not saying anyone should be oblivious to the spectre of relegation, I do think our focus needs to shift from tearing things apart to expending every ounce of willingness we have towards our team.

There will be plenty of time for everyone to dissect things after the season has gone and we know how things stand. That's part of the reason there aren't many articles on here at the moment as I can't bring myself to think about anything else right now. We shouldn't be in the mess but we are and getting out of it is more important than finger pointing or laying blame.

This isn't one of those "support your team" articles. Quite frankly I think we've been superb all season and have stayed with the team far longer than perhaps we would have done in the past. It's more a reminder that it's pointless looking too far ahead when it's things in the very near future which will determine what happens next.

These next two weeks are vital and it starts tonight with Wigan v Swansea. In an ideal world Swansea will do us a favour and beat Wigan but unfortunately for us the Welsh side seem to already be on their summer holidays whilst Wigan look up for the scrap again.

Come on Swansea!
