Bottom of the league.... but when has that ever mattered? We're second but surely I'm not the only one who has noticed how we've been made to fight for our points in the last couple of months. You could say that, generally, we've been a lot less impressive in the 2nd half of the season OR as a club 'up there', we've brought the best out of clubs determined to do us down.
Generally the quality of football has deteriorated. Is this because teams have got wise to us and now know how to stop us playing? Is it because, after displaying high levels of fitness/stamina early season, the team are feeling tired and jaded?
Or could it be that, being a very wet winter, the pitches have militated against our state of play? Then again, maybe we're just going through our annual mid-season dip and things will pick up again in the last ten games?
Of course, it could be all, some or none of these. Who knows? Whatever, as I mentioned in another thread, it's a relatively hard run in and we have to take full advantage of every opportunity. Also as there are 5 teams in close competition for three automatic places, goal difference becomes very important.
So, with all due respect to Stevenage, we have not only to beat the bottom club but beat them well. It is early January since we had a comfortable win so now is about time. Nevertheless, I'm going for a 2-1 win.
