    We're all really excited over the new young stars and rightly so, but one of the reasons they've started so well is Batth, Gooch, Evans and Pritchard. All 4 of them have so much experience (over 1200 games between them), are top professionals and are all having excellent seasons so far. They've all been underrated to some extent because of the bright talent coming through.

    Batth has been my player of the season so far, I just hope he stays injury free

    Evans was my MOTM at Reading which, in the midst of all that flair, may seem strange ...

    Our perfectly arranged plan was for everyone to meet up in the Estcourt.

    Half ended up waiting for the others in the Arms ...

    ... who were waiting for the others in the Tavern <doh>

    One of the things I picked up on having watched the highlights was the amount of booing the Watford fans did letting their team know that wasn't acceptable to drop points to a team fresh from league one.
    Think they thought a win would get their season back on track but they didn't take into account the spirit within our squad.
    Don't know wether or not our players pick up on things like this, probably too busy celebrating and rightly so.

    There will be a few moments like that over the season I reckon. We have a reputation of being ****e, we were poor for years and have just spent a few seasons in league 1 coming up by the play offs. Opposition fans will be upset and decide they played ****e a few times this season! Reality is we are on what we have seen so far one of the better teams in this league!
