Let’s savour until Saturday at least the dizzy heights of a top six place after two great away wins.
All in contrast to a few weeks ago when we were hovering around the relegation places.
Its no coincidence that our run of form started with Benda replacing Fisher in goal and a tweak of tactics. Now we do not dominate possession so much and are harder to beat. There are still flashes of our previous vulnerability at the back, but we are a work in progress in that department and look to be slowly getting there.
On to the next match tomorrow and we’re at home to Tony Mowbray’s Sunderland. Mowbray was appointed at the end of August when Alex Neil, who had just got the Mackems promoted, decided to move on to Stoke.
Sunderland sit in 8th place, just a point behind us, and are doing very well since promotion. They’ve drawn their last 3 matches and are tight defensively, conceding only three goals in their last 6 games. Their best away result so far was a 0-3 win at third place Reading.
