Completely agree it feels different, completely different.

Last two seasons it's felt like we've fell over the line having used all our energy way too early in the season.  I looked on enviously both years at teams who had form and momentum going in.

Lets put it this way, we go into games now expecting at least a draw and fairly  confident of a win. Why,  because this is a team of fighters who give their all for Town

The difference has come mainly from the signing of a striker who can not only knock in a goal but has skill enough to join attacks together. Any side that has someone like Palmer will have more belief than one that goes through the motions of playing the ball in the box and just hoping which is what we were before he came. He is an infectious personality too and that galvanised the supporters just at the point where faith might have waned altogether. Palmer's not perfect but he's the perfect player for Town just now.

Hurst deserves credit for signing Palmer and for eventually realising a basic and consistent formation gets results. Freeing Disley to get into the box more often was an obvious thing to do and his goals have been a bonus. As someone has said, a good striker signed early in the season and we might have settled into the winning routine a lot sooner and be away at the top.

On the other hand, some time ago I said that the promotion season 1961-2 proved that a good run in means a lot. That side was mid-table at Christmas with a lot of criticism then suddenly sparked in the New Year with Rafferty and Portwood seeming unable to stop scoring. A repeat of that would be brilliant.

One other thing - has anyone noticed that the injury list isn't as long when we're winning?

Couldn't agree more other season s we have brought in wasters like Brodie and the wheels have fell off ,palmer as rejuvenated the season IMO and credit to Hurst for that but success is promotion anything other is failure

For me Olly's been the catalyst for this run. Town are now a team with him and more or less every time he gets it you think something's gonna happen. Couldn't say that before and I think JP and Nathan are showing more too with Diz having more confidence to gamble. Cum on Town.

Our early home record against lower-table teams nearly finished all our promotion chances.
