We're still hoping this year...
But it got me thinking back to Lennie Lawrence in 85/86. He'd brought in lots of new players on a shoestring over the close season and the first I saw of them was in a pre-season friendly v Liverpool. I think we lost 2-0 but boy did they play well, and from that moment on, I felt it was going to be a good season. And on the pitch it was - we got promoted to division one. Less so off it, of course, as we left The Valley!

That particular season...I knew from September that we were going up - even with groundsharing, somehow and despite a lot of ridicule I just knew.
In hindsight I wish I'd put some money on it.
The only better thing would be able to see into the future a little - without totally spoiling it and making life too predictable.
Maybe we could influence it, too!
Got to be better than staring at your feet and thinking that's all there is to see.
