Still going up. Was bound to happen sooner or later. Reminder to all what's needed from now on. Evidence that current squad will need strengthening next season. Chance to put it right in three days. COYR.
Sadly couldn't make it tonight, gastric flu laid me up for 3 days, so thanks again to @RedMidland for a stirling service. Sounded like we had a decent go but didn't get the rub of the proverbial green. Keeping things in perspective we have remained unbeaten at home for the majority of the season and we have bounced back well from the defeats we have had so far......watch out Notts County!! COYR!!
Obviously not at the game. Listened on radio. Sounded like we played ok but it just didn't work out.
To lose your first home game (and only the 3rd league loss of the season) on the 6th of March is very impressive. We have had a brilliant season and the occasional loss is going to happen (even for potential champions).
nite lads/lassess sorry its turned out bad...........but we are still 13 points clear of 2nd............14 from 3rd..........15 from 4th and 'whatever' from below............if Utd win their game in hand we will still have 10 point advantage..........onwards and upwards.
Back on Saturday for the County match.
EDIT..........after County match a bit of a respite in games.........time to rest up and push for the title.........we have just played 9 games since 28th Jan.........or 6 weeks whichever way you look at it....thats some going!!!
I suppose you could say it's a good time to lose a game, we've had a great unbeaten run since the start of the year and we lost it at a time when we are clear of the opposition by a country mile. This defeat may have done us a favour...points to prove and all that...roll on Saturday.
Something about Tuesday nights at home doesn't seem to agree with us.
My concern is the centre-midfield. Thought our pairing were second best on Saturday and second best again tonight. They don't seem to be able to dominate the game in the way you would expect from a team 13 points clear. Haynes looked sharp again. Maybe time for him to start on Saturday.
We never really got going, poor refereing and officiating and What was Hamer doing for the goal? Just leat him close him down and then blasted the ball at him. Although were top of the league i do think that Green should be dropped. But ho hum just one of them days fair Play to colchester they defended brilliantly, especially magnus ochungae, roll on saturday

Sheff Utd losing at, erm ...... Walsall.
Not just us, then.
@JT they can't win every time.
As Wendy would say.

Bring on the next game.
Could be worse. Could be Colchester, stuck in this league for another year.

For me, tonight should have seen the startimg XI rotated. We looked leggy at Bournemouth and werent at it tonight.
Ho hum.
Thats my saturday change.

My previous games this season:
Bournemouth (h)
Hudds (h)
Yeovil (a)
Brentford (h)
Sheff U (h)
