    Firstly, we won for the first time on Sky for ages, so congratulations. The curse is broken :)


    Secondly, other results yesterday could not have gone much better for us.
    - 'Uddersfield drew 0-0
    - Brighton, yes they won but lets be realistic they are now running away with this league
    - Bournemouth lost 1-0
    - and Peterborough and MK Dons play each other on Monday night

    Plus we have plenty of games in hand over other teams around us.
    Also just to point out, other teams that were still desperately chasing the play-offs also lost yesterday. This includes Chalton who have somewhat slipped big time, Leyton Orient and Colchester.


    So stay cheerful, good things come to those who wait.

    COYR!
    <ok>

    On the OS Lambo is giving Lala credit for the corner for Fonte's goal, Oxo will be a bit miffed I suspect! Or did he mean Lala gets the credit for winning the corner, who knows, who cares....

    Usually when we get good results so does everyone else, so yesterday was very good for us. Forget Brighton...there lies the road to madness. Would be best for us if Brighton beat everyone but us. MK Dons win or draw would be best for us on Monday, followed by a win on Tuesday. Unfortunately, we then have another gap and just have to hope all our good work is not undone before we have the right of reply. We're looking good at the moment so we just have to control the controllables (Adkins-speak is very contagious!).

    Big couple of days for us. If Peterborough fail to beat Mk Dons and we can beat Charlton we will go 2nd, still with a game in hand on Peterborough and 2 on Huddersfield

    The tension is as bad as in a relegation battle, due to possible consequences if we do not go up! However I think that the team so far has proved itself capable of dealing with the pressure, lets hope that continues.

    I am now beginning to think that all of the team is thinking positively. I know media talk is cheap but they always seem to be talking from the same hymn sheet. Brainwashed perhaps.:/)

    The tension was there plain to see yesterday and as soon as we had scored it lifted remarkably quickly. Early goal for us will help no end on Tuesday though Posh losing tomorrow would also relieve the pressure no end as it would give us some leeway.

    Either way, as the fans if we replicate the atmosphere of the second half on saturday that will push the team to promotion, with the squad itself already having the quality and drive, and that little extra 'oomph' will further this. Great to see us play average and comfortably outclass a team that would have got a point here earlier in the season.
