Sometimes, given the perochial sniping on these sites, it's easy to forget just how far we have come. In the 40 years I've been a fan I cannot remember a team with so much quality. In Cureton - brought in as a last minute thought - we have the best striker since Kellow (praise indeed), three other quality front men, a midfield that oozes class and crunch (Dunne is superb and Liam could be the City boy to go all the way) and a defence that is improving, though this is the area I would like to see strengthened. Outside the football, the club is an increasingly integral part of the community, both in Devon and for us Exiles and better for that. With Tiz, Perryman et el, we have a strong management unit, which is vitally important, allowing us to look further ahead then the next match. You rarely see Tiz make an impulse buy and he knows six months ahead who is likely to be off and who he will bring in as a replacement. The continued success for City is a wonderful advertisement for an alternative method of running a club and long may it continue. It says a lot that I am no longer amazed that we beat teams like Sheff Wednesday. I am not complacent, but quietly happy that we have a squad to compete....
