Oh happy days, were going up, as we have now plugged the one big leak at the back, and i am not talking about the feeling we all get, when when Meslier faces a shot on target.
I wouldn't say we've plugged the gap, the six games with Darlow between the sticks he's let 7 goals in losing two of those games. The whole defence need to look at themselves.
I am much happier though, as i also feel Darlow will improve with match experience and get back to his very best, where as Meslier didn't appear to have learnt anything or improve after all these years as no1.
Once Darlow has fully settled in and made the no1 position his own, i think the whole defence will tighten up , as they won't continually be looking over their shoulder and wonder what goalkeeping blunder will be coming next, well that's my take on it anyway and i hope i am right.
Think we can look happily forward to the last 4 games, and not because this is the positivity thread. Yes things could have gone better and I still believe we’ll might drop points. But now think they’ve got their mojo back, particularly now the blunts have fallen apart. I’m more relaxed about the goal keeping situation. The team showed bottle(lots of it) in our last away game. Oxford is doable, yes it won’t necessarily be easy, and I’d like James and Gnonto in the team( Aaronson to miss out). But the bench is sound and I think Bamford/Schmidt could be real assets if we’re chasing the game.
Had the pleasure of the company of one of my great nephews this afternoon, he's 2, I'm nailed, 2 hours of how far can we jump uncle and hide n seek, take it out of us old uns
