Only 9 points to make up now.....
Just to point out the bleeding obvious but so have Cambridge, Luton, Wycombe and PortsmouthSaying it very quietly, but we also have a game in hand on the 3rd placed club.....
Come on Rich get that avatar changed. Mathematically it's not. Anything is possible given we have climbed from bottom to ninth so quickly.
The form is great. Biggest pluses is winning by so comfortable margins, and you can see the belief growing on the pitch and amongst the fans. Also now starting to beat sides higher up the table.
Unless we do what we historically haven't managed in having a huge unbeaten run, we are likely to have a set back at some point and the challenge then is to avoid any runs of games without wins. Getting so few points in the first 17 games has reduced our margin for error significantly. I also still don't like the tactic of pulling every player back when we are under the cosh, I feared today that an equaliser was only a matter of time but having said that when you are letting in so few goals any tactics are clearly working.
Right now I will be very happy with a top seven finish, and think we need to try not to get too carried away. Next two matches are big challenges.
I'd like to wait a little longer AG. No logic to it, but if I take it down and we go on a bad run I just look fickle. I will however quite happily give him credit where it's due for the recent results. Probably the best unbeaten run for years given the inclusion of so many wins by several goals.Come on Rich get that avatar changed
