In my humble opinion, have done a fantastic job this season. If someone had said at the start of this season, that we would be in the position we are now, I would have bitten their hand off in dis-belief.
I found myself the other week on this board, moaning and groaning about the Wycombe performance, then I took stock.
No team is consistant below us, just look at the table and recent results of say, the top 8. In fact, maybe with the exception of Vale, we've been the most consistant team in the top half of Div2.
Let's face facts, Vale's last 2 away matches have been (what were) against bottom 3 sides... They 'gained' 2 points. It's their home form that has turned around, yet there's only 1 point between us.
I can only speak for myself here, but I get the impression that I and, prehaps, many other fans have been hitting the panic button without any reason.
This is due to our un-precidented record breaking start to the season. We maybe felt like we were unbeatable, the title was ours from November... Positions of grandeaur if you like.
But here we are, not playing our best football (we all know that), in what is a fantastic postion. I just know we're going up this season, automatically.
From my pesronal point of view, because of our wonderful start, I fully expected us to win the title. That clouded my vision somewhat, so when results didn't go as planned, in my mind...... doom and gloom, that's it, another dissapointment.
The actual real life facts are we're massive favourites to go up, along only with Port Vale at the moment... winnining the title is a massive bonus and I soooo hope we do, but promotion is just fantastic also.
MA and Scally, I believe for now, are a partnaship that's working very well and bringing huge smiles to us long suffering fans... That's not bull**** it's a fact as I write this now.
Manager of the month, 10 points out of 15, two new eager premiership signings, 9 points clear of 4th place and a chacing pack that's far more inconsistant than us.
Happy days in my eyes.
