...or do you believe a team or athlete is only as good as their latest match?
While I believe that a team is as good as their last match, I still wouldn't treat that in isolation. I go a bit back to check that team's last three matches to decide if I'm going to stick out my neck for them the next time they've a game. I don't like dwelling on past glories of victories and trophies won and my reason is that there's always a first time to anything.
