Boss Jim Magilton has urged fans to get behind his side ahead of what he expects to be a much better 2007/08. The Town manager is convinced that the Blues are moving in the right direction.

Magilton said: “Now is the time to stick together, to be positive and to anticipate better times.

“This is the best club in the land. I can see good things happening - and I am convinced they will.”

Magilton has also backed chairman David Sheepshanks: “He works tirelessly and would do anything to help get us back in the Premiership.

“It is not until you get an insight to what is going on inside this great club of ours that you realise the vast amount of good work being done.

“Yes, all clubs have trying times and the chairman is not naïve and knows improvements have to be made.”
