I think people need to start taking a reality check and actually put things into perspective a little. Where are we in the league guys??? For those who haven’t realised WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE so let’s just F**KING ENJOY IT!!!
It’s Jim’s job to look at the negatives from yesterday and ensure they don’t happen again, but the rest of us need to be positive. A negative feeling about the place will spread like cancer and we need to cut it out right now. like Rabbit said, the positive vibe from behind goal carried the players back into a lead yesterday when they could so easily of crumbled. We didn’t win the league on Saturday and we certainly didn’t lose it yesterday.
Let’s look at it from a positive angle;
Brilliant attendance yesterday, and for most of the second half a brilliant atmosphere (thanks in part to Connors and Griff!).
Four goals scored.
Both strikers scoring.
Gaghan looked back to his best when he came on.
We scored a penalty (this could be a massive mental lift if we get another against Telford for example).
Despite the fact we’d gone from 2 up to be 3 - 2 down, the lads didn’t let their heads drop and we came back to earn a point.
For the first time in weeks we’ve gone 2 games unbeaten.
We only need to get equal points over our next 5 games than Telford and Burscough do in their next 4.
We’ve scored 53 goals at home now - HOW GOOD IS THAT?!
Warlow stuck away another 2 yesterday - HOW GOOD IS THAT?!
There are 21 teams who would give anything to swap places with us right now.
Is there any other position in the league you’d rather be in at the moment??? Got your eye on 3rd place at all??
WE ARE STILL TOP OF THE LEAGUE!
If there isn’t enough there to take heart from then i suggest you get yourself over the canal and watch a team with NOTHING left to play for. We have a young squad, and a young manager who is still learning. Most of them - like us - have not been in this position before. There are going to be nerves, and there are going to be twists and turns before the season finishes. Roll back the clock to Christmas and how many of us would of given anything to be in this position now?? It’s still ours and they have to come take it off us. Support the team, support the manager, sing your hearts out. Worst case scenario we finish in the play offs. F**k me it makes you want to slit your wrists doesn’t it. No? Didn’t think so. JUST ENJOY IT. I know i will.
You just have to read the Telford forum and see how many of their fans are being negative and getting on the team’s back. It hasn’t helped them turn things around has it so let’s not do the same. Jim and the team have got us in this position, so now it’s up to us to push them over the finishing line. We have 3 home games left, that’s more than enough to get the job done. HAVE FAITH.
And young Farqy will be fine. He’s a young lad and at the moment he’s mainly hussle and bussle, but he took his goal really well yesterday, and he gave their defenders no peace at all. He also turned the game for us on Saturday when he came on. I’m as gutted as anyone that we didn’t win yesterday, but regardless of Grantham’s position a point is a point. We’re one point closer and one game closer than we were at this time yesterday. If we win Saturday and Monday then we can hopefully enjoy Whitby alot more.
We’re nearly there boys, let’s keep beleiving for another couple of weeks hey, and then we’ll see what happens come final day. I think Jim and the lads have earned that much from us at least.
ONWARDS AND VERY MUCH UPWARDS!!!
