The effects of Saturdays self inflicted defeat and tonight's postponement(which couldn't be helped in my view with this afternoon's weather) really rammed home with wins for Reading, Fleetwood and Exeter with the only saving grace a defeat for Port Vale. If you didn't realise it before folks then you should do now, we are well and truly in a relegation scrap. The gap down to two points now with Vale having two games in hand and I actually think it looks like them or us for that last relegation place and could even be both of us with some of the teams below showing signs of life.
I think Charlton will be OK now they have Nathan Jones in charge and although we beat them recently I think it won't take too much tweaking to get them moving up the league. Reading have really picked up and have taken 7 points from 9 recently against Derby, Oxford and Stevenage and I think could go on a run. Oh for another points deduction!
The new manager has got it all on now to get us moving as the pack below has just about reeled us in and that 8/9 point gap from a few months back has now been eliminated. Worrying times.
Whilst I’m sure they’ll be plenty of twists and turns before the season finishes I can’t help but think this will go to the wire for maybe up to eight teams? I just hope we’ll be safe before then.
I hope you’re right and we get some twists and turns in our favour. But what we need is goals and some experience to get them. We will have done well if it goes to the wire in my opinion.
