October's Manager of the Month (Y) (nodding2fingers) (clap) (dancin) (raiseaglass) (worship) (angel) (bustin) (respect) (respect) Oldham ( H ) 4-0 Blackpool ( H ) 2-2 Southend ( A ) 1-1 Rotherham ( A ) 1-0 Walsall ( H ) 2-1 three wins and two draws, (don't mention the LDV) A very good month results wise, and the league table doesn't lie, we're handilly placed to start a good push for the top places. However, have we actually played well? Most reports seem to indicate that we're still not performing like a top side. Or is it a case of this being as good as it gets, or needs to be, for this league. Remember Wednesday last season! Very average looking side but they seemed to scrape results together and look where they are now. I'd like to know if the teams to have escaped this league have done so in the style we seem to be craving
agreed i mean blackpool at home was shody but we got a point! i for one dont care how we get out of the league was long as its the up way!!! well done andy ritchie.
Oldham ( H ) 4-0 </p> Played really well in that game, but against a very poor oldham</p> Blackpool ( H ) 2-2</p> Didnt see this game but apparently we were lucky</p> Southend ( A ) 1-1</p> Good performance against a good team, should have won</p> Rotherham ( A ) 1-0</p> Did well in poor conditions</p> Walsall ( H ) 2-1</p> First half reminded me of Oldham, but without the goals. Second half was abit disappointing but we didnt give up and got a 2nd goal which is a sign of a good team </p>
we have had the odd 10 min spell where we have played really well and the odd 10 min spell we where have been shocking We need to those shocking spells in ok spells and weve cracked it. we are moving in the right direction because this time last year we wer having 90 min shocking spells.
the next league game is the crunch whever we have put a good run together we have blown it at the important moment. If we improve mental toughness and get reid of the sporadic performances then we will be promoted - no doubt about it. We have the lookings of a very good side if we can just knit everything together. i also think Kell could just add the cherry on top and give us that bit more if his reputation is antying to go by. Fingers crossed the leg has mended well.

RE: the next league game is the crunch Bradford - away. We never seem to get anything out of this game. A great penalty save last season by Colgan was over-ruled by the ref and re-taken by Windass who put it away. Ref cost us a point that day. Let's hope it doesn't happen again.
