First though another team up next in Cheltenham who we need to get something from to keep them out of the playoffs and at arms length.

Dropping out of the playoffs may have been a bit of wake up call and we have had to fight to get back in them and stay in there by beating Bradford and MK Dons.

We are now only two points behind automatic promotion places with a game in hand so are right in the mix. That’s a decent place to be in and it’s something we need to maintain.

As for SM I’ve not doubted once throughout his tenure the players are not on board. All teams have a bad run or a blip. We have had injuries to key players in the first half of the season. Crowley is back and that’s lifted the team, Abbotts getting on the scoresheet now, JJ will be returning soon hopefully. Our defence has gone back to being solid. There is an opportunity to in January to bring players in, so lots to be positive about for the second half of the season. On paper we should be stronger in the second half of the season than the first half. Plus those who joined in the summer will have now had six months to settle in.

Keep the faith.
Amen Sir.
