Curle and the players are as good as we're going to get.When will people realise we're the Cobblers not Real Madrid - a club whose history consists as much about staving off extinction and avoiding re-election as it does promotion glory.
Whilst their styles are obviously different, Curle's timeline closely mirrors Wilder's albeit it will probably not end in a run of non-stop swashbuckling victories to secure us the title.
We've got probably the 75th best budget in the league (if that) and the 75th best ground and support. We've probably got the 75th best manager and players too.
Why do people persist in believing promotion to L1 is some kind of thing we should always be challenging for. The resources just don't match the dreams - get over it.
If we make the play offs - and I think we might well do - Curle will have done a decent job. If he gets us up (and do people not actually think he is trying his nuts off to get that elusive promotion?) he will have done a great job.
I agree, I think sometimes certain people can get a bit carried away, In all my lifetime we have been mainly in league 2 occasionally flirted with league 1 (and for a brief moment got close to Championship) and a few times come close to the drop. In fact just surviving by the skin of our teeth on one occasion. I have been watching us since about 83 time and love a good season but expect a bad one, that way I am not disappointed to often. I remember stopping going for the last few years of Cardoza's reign because I didn't agree with what he was doing then I missed out on the Wilder era. So I have since decided to just go and enjoy the good and put up with the bad.
