Yes this is still only nine games in, but it is round about now that the fledgling table starts to take some shape and lifted the Lily-whites up to fourth position in the Championship, just three points behind leaders Coventry.

Of course there is a long way to go, but the injection of positivity and belief in this revamped squad has brought the much missed feel good factor back to our home soil and long may it continue.
