That Gillingham equaliser finally means we are in a position where we don't have to rely on other clubs' results.
I'm sure there will be more ups-and-downs, but we have at last clawed our way into the top two.
It now becomes a matter of consistency, and hoping that no random elements of luck or refereeing go against us.
Weirdly, I'll probably be even more nervous from now on.
Incidentally, have you noticed how many L.1 teams are on a good run at the moment?
Gillingham being another example.

Right about the in form sides. Rotherham, Plymouth, Southend, Gills all doing well at the mo. Even Bury had gone unbeaten 5 games prior to our game.
Top 2 for real..
Posted to that effect on shrews board.. :)
Champs - that bit about "keeping our heads" is so true.Quote:

Football just ISN'T 100% predictable, as some of them seem to believe. Some games defy logic. 80% possession and defeat for the PL runaway leaders against a "Third Division" club?
How am I doing on there at the mo? >:)Quote:

All we had to do was turn up every week and win'. If only football was that simple. As Pep & his billionaire club found out last night.Quote:

We can bounce back from a one off bad result.
To be fair, they don't bite as easily as most Burnley fans.. ;)Quote:
