Agreed...But I am still not holding my hopes up too high. I personally don't think what happened last year would happen again, only for the fact that it is his contract year. But you have to admit, he has said a lot of things that did not come true or falled short. I really hope he can carry this team to somewhere this year...proving some of the doubter out there wrong. What i really don't want to see is him playing hard for for 'some' of the time. But yeah, last years situation was not entirely the same as now.
