This day last year I travelled over to see a horrible 0-0 draw against King’s Lynn, what a difference even 12 months can make!

Just because no one guessed the right names for new signings - more rabbits from the ever bottomless hat, Mr Hurst ???

They could all prove good minus any huge price tags !!

The thing its never been a crisis this season. Even after the Swindon pounding we will still about the same difference off the play offs than the relegation zone.

Let's just enjoy this - we deserve it after the years of torment. The club is heading in the right direction and this cup run is a real bonus.

Quoted from DB


Didn't he say about 2 weeks ago 'you'll have to trust me' or similar words? Last night he proved his point and I still think we are in with a chance of promotion through the playoffs, again.



Some of us never stopped trusting him and when there's another rough patch, we will remain trusting throughout again. He's actually a fantastic manager, with one or two minor limitations.

An example of the daft narrative that surrounds him was that debate about whether he can motivate players yesterday, or was it Monday, then look at how fit, energetic and determined we were last night. He fills the lads with belief, develops players he has (look at how much better Harry is than when he came back) and signs very good players for whatever level he's at.

People may think I'm over the top but we really need to be grateful for what we've got with Hursty, just look at the mess in between his stints. Genuinely think he'll be here a long time now, can't be many managers more secure in their roles. At the start of the season I'd have said Klopp and Pep, don't think that's true anymore.

What a difference 2 weeks makes. Vital to carry this on in the league though - an important month or so, some good form could make things quite interesting heading into the back end of the season...

If we'd not chucked away those two easy wins at Hartlepool and Harrogate, I'd be saying we can make the playoffs.

True, but we can do that for any season ever. Always going to be games you win, which you shouldn't and games you lose, which you shouldn't. It's about minimizing the latter and hopefully we can do that now.
