Give Jimmy One More Year...

Firstly, I'll treat you to what Jimmy Floyd was quoted as saying in the daily newspapers. "I think the team as a whole has been more consistent. If you look at where the goals have come from, they have come from everywhere.

"But imagine if Eidur and I had had a good season. What could we have achieved this year? I think a lot more. I have not produced like I normally produce.

"I have had my chances but I have not taken them the way I usually would. I will keep on trying to do the right thing. Yet sometimes it's like running through a brick wall."

It's not often that we hear this sort of thing from Jimmy. If something goes wrong (on the pitch at least) he will blame everyone but himself.

But on this occasion Jimmy has held his hands up and admitted he hasn't been at his best this year. Remember, it's not about the mistakes you make, but how you react to them.

With a full pres-season under his belt, I reckon that Jimmy might regain his golden touch again. And after this year, defenders might be led into thinking that he is a has-been who's lost his touch. Time to prove them wrong Jimmy...
