We desperately need some points. Tilson said before the Leeds game that we needed to win three out of six and possibly get another point on top of that. Looking at the games in hand it was obvious which games he was expecting results from, win the three home games and get a draw away to Oldham Athletic. Basically giving up all hope of any sort of result against Leeds, losing 2-0, we then drew to Brentford… brilliant.
It means we need to win our next three games. Home to Brighton, away to Oldham and home to Stockport. No one seems to hold any hopes of us getting a result at Southampton. It could be done but I feel that if we lose to Brighton then that is our season over. Not mathematically but we’d have to win every game, hope other results go our way and even then it might not happen. Taking into account we’ve only won one game since December, going out and then getting three consecutive wins is bordering on insane.
On a much happier note apparently we’ve gone five games unbeaten at home. What the papers and the press fail to mention is that only one of those was a win. Ever since winning at home to Walsall a few weeks ago all the trends and pessimism has changed into new trends and optimism. Now I’m all for optimism but I was optimistic anyway I didn’t need to be told the same trends but in a different way.
Let me explain. After the Walsall game, when we won 3-0, all the press were banging on about was how we’ve gone three games unbeaten. A couple of days before all they could go on about were how we’d gone twelve games without a win. So why didn’t they just say 13 games and with only one win? That’s the media for you, jumping on any bandwagon that moves. I suppose I’ll be guilty of that in the future.
What are they going to come up with next "unbeaten this year if you take the first 80 minutes of games and subtract them by the number of goals scored divided by games we've played". With that reasoning we've won the league!
