Last night was an away-trip for the ages, rounded off with thoughtful motorway closures on the M40 (at Banbury) and the M25 (junction 15). By way of therapy, I took a mate’s dog for a walk along the river this morning. At ‘Anglers Reach’ I asked Milly (the dog) what she thought of Barrow’s game at S...

Earlier on in the season I recall being dismayed in Crawley (which, to be fair, isn’t difficult) at our second half showing. 2-0 up and cruising at the break gave way to a near 45-minute Crawley onslaught in the second half. We got away with that one but this mindset seems to be the hardwired mental...

With my season ticket currently offering me scorching value of £118 per home win, I might pass on this one.

At no point in the game did I think we were going to score. Early on in the second half Ben Jackson slung over a peach of a cross but no striker was anywhere near it, presumably because they were busy trying to work out which vertex of this week’s diamond formation they should be stood at.

Include the three games he was in charge between Dunn and Jolley and he has 29 points from 16 games.

In Rob Kelly’s 8 games in charge, we have won 15 points. Extend that record to the 32 games we have played this season and we would have 60 points and therefore be top of the league. Onwards.

Bromley away was the game I thought we might well be in the promotion shake-up. They were flying and we played them off the park - the 2-1 scoreline didn’t reflect our dominance.

Maidenhead away is when I thought we could actually win it - 4-0 and it could have been 14.

Happy days.
