    More surprises to come!

    Last night was a surprise & disappointment to most of our fans, but there will be more surprises in the last 15 games of the season.
    Not only to us, but also to the other contenders. Teams that are out of the running for promotion are not going to lay down because they are playing top teams, in fact quite the opposite. They will try to prove that they belong in this league. Although on paper tonight's game seems like a fairly comfortable win for Middlesbrough, don't be surprised if they come out firing on all cylinders. You have to remember the pressure is on the top teams, whereas the lower teams can be more relaxed. As a competitive golfer some years ago I reached a 7 handicap status, but won quite a few games against scratch handicappers as I upped my game to their level.
    I guess we will have to wait in anticipation for the final outcome... But it should be interesting. At this point I am not avoiding sharp objects like a few on this site who seem angry!
