The thought of going to todays game was somewhat mixed. I’d not seen a game in ages, but the weather was bright but extremely windy and thus cold. And as it turned out, the weather had a massive impact on the game. Apart from 3-4 chances, there was little else in the way of excitement. Good to see (and chat with) a few of the regulars.
It had been a while since i’d seen a win, so todays result was good. It may lift us some four places if other results go our way. Having read through the blog, I don’t tend to discuss or dwell on our league position, for the casual followers out there, having read loss after loss after turmoil within the team, it wouldn’t have come as a surprise that we were languishing at the wrong end of the table, but there is someone below us ! and after some decent results over the past few months it looks like we will be out of the relegation spots. For the players, chairman, support staff and followers of the club, this is brilliant.
Well done to phil Harrison on scoring again, but a round of applause to the rest of the team, who restricted the visitors to bugger all for the whole game and ran their socks off all game.
Two things to mention in summing up, 1) why were there so few people at todays game after the brilliant display at Mossley and 2) my sympathies go to young Mick (who stewards the door to the bar from the ground on matchdays) who tragically lost his wife this week – my thoughts are with you matey.
