    Another great win today, fair play, you've got some momentum going there. It was looking a bit of a task for Barnsley a couple of weeks ago tbh, but that's all turned around and you've reeled the clubs above in - they'll be feeling the pressure now & looking over their shoulders, keep it up! I'd love to give you a helping hand by spanking the Wurzels next week :wink:

    As Spider said, you're doing alright yourselves. How you going to mess it up this time? It'll take some doing.

    No, couldn't make it - whilst all ny usual football mates went, some idiot had to work in the morning. Our lot are pretty resourceful & often phone ahead to "book" a pub en route - unless the landlord is an exiled Taff of course!

    Yup, we're doing just fine. Doing just about enough to win games without playing that well - but always feel that we could go up a couple of gears if needed.

    Don't think even we could mess it up this time tbh - but you never know. In recent seasons we've had a good starting XI but have struggled when injuries & suspensions kick in - usually around this time of the year. Last year we also had the extra fixtures from reaching the Carling Cup final - we were out on our feet at the end of the season. This year we've had major players injured for long periods - Craig Bellamy, Ben Turner, Tommy Smith, Nicky Maynard (still) etc, but have coped without them & still have strength on the bench. Think that'll see us through tbh. To my mind, we have to win 7 out of the last 16 - and that should be do-able (we've won 20 out of 30 to date). 48 points left to play for & we need less than 2 points/game if my guess is right. We'd need major relegation form to mess it up - and that's assuming at least two others are winning regularly.
