Maybe it hasn't been pointed out, but from the second half onwards, despite not being in top gear, we still didn't look like losing. Was a bit of a miserable game, but by no means is it panic stations.
Yes we are 11 points clear of third but on the whole we haven't been playing well in the way that we were at the start of the season. Teams are closing us down and not letting us play and some of our players are not reacting well to that scenario. If we were to lose two on the trot from teams with a point to make we could be only 5 points clear of third and in second place if SU put some good scores together. That would damage confidence even further. Losing a game at this point in the season has done a lot of damage to us over the years and we have had bad months in March for a few years. I'm certain that CP will not let the team become complacent and is doing eveything he can to improve confidence but we have to face the reality that teams have fallen away from this position before. Let's hope we dont follow.
I think its just normal - seeing that we are closing in on the 10 remaining games and ever since I've been a Season Ticket Holder (98/99 was my first year) we've ALWAYS had the horrible run of form
Could be a repeat of the season we took 2 points from our last 6 games and still won the Championship(have I got my stats right?)
Sounds about right, took up ages to get over the line! Funny enough i have just put my review of that season back up on my site!
Guys my match report of this game is now up http://www.cafc4ever.co.uk/html/4_ever_on_cafc.html enjoy
Just seen the highlights - ball clearly over the line IMO. Didn't realise quite how good Hamer's save from McGurk was but they missed his point-blank one in the first half.
