    Carlisle game

    Providing the game is still on,in what will turn out to be a mud bath of a game does that suggest a home win or more of the same at home,if on gan out and master the conditions and no excuses.A home draw would be useless so don't even think it What do you think Griff.

    The pitch drains quite well nowadays so I'd be disappointed if it was off.

    It's funny though - a, ahem, correspondent sent me this yesterday:

    "A Sheridan team takes every opportunity to be proactive from the beginning, trying to impose our game upon the opposition. This largely results in either a win or a defeat, only one draw thus far. With three points for a win this makes sense. In a sequence of 4 matches 2 wins and 2 defeats results in 6 points, 4 draws results in 4 points.

    The team has drawn just 1 in 12 League Two matches this season so let's consider that ratio continuing such that this becomes 4 draws in 46 matches. A season consisting of 4 draws, 21 wins and 21 defeats results in a final total of 67 points. Consider the possibility of only a marginal improvement upon that, 4 draws, 22 wins and 20 defeats. That results in 70 points which in 7 out of the last 10 seasons was enough to get 7th place. Then you consider what to do in the play-offs.

    Whilst a team that has had 20 defeats cannot be considered to be of epic quality it has played the season always being proactive and it has worked enough times to get 22 wins."

    I agree as it happens, though with our depleted resources today I'd say an away win is every bit as likely as Us taking the points. Good question though.

    It was said a few games back `IF`we can win our next two home games,then it was `IF`we can score first,what will be the next `IF`be,too many ifs that never happen and not enough `buts`How about what if the away form slumps,just a nice thought after that load of crap and as you said Griff an away win is every bit as likely and utd duly obliged eh.
