I didn't say there's no reason for optimism and that people who are optimistic are defeatist. I too have optimismistic view points regarding this team.
The mantra of "just get in and anything can happen" is defeatist to me.
Sure on it's surface layer it appears to not be.
But that's not the mantra of a true contender. Rue contenders arent dreaming about if only they could get in.That's a mantra of a bubble team.
To me, labeling yourself as a middling team before the season even starts is defeatist.
