Little Change At The Top On A Good Day For The Animals
Clearly it's not good enough for LongLostSon to make the sacrificial opposition win forecast
, so we have to ask where Dav went this time around. Drawn games always make a difference
, and only two of us were left sitting high on the fence at full time - Kiwi John with a maxi 5, and Monkey Hanger with 3 points for a wrong-score draw. Kiwi, previously last of the regulars on 29th, moved up to 24th, while MH broke into the Top Ten, moving to 10th from 18th= and pushing me out of the Ten. Huh
.
About half of the rest of us got a point
, and the other half didn't
. The top 3 all got a point so no change there, elsewhere if you got a point you were likely to move up a place
, and if you didn't you were likely to go down
.
Welcome to the game Rosey, your point means you don't start at the bottom - you're 32nd= out of 36.
Well, that's 5 points dropped to basement teams* in the last 2 home games
, separated by an away win against another, and now we're off to visit 2 more, tomorrow and Saturday
. Draw at home and win away isn't the traditional recipe for success, but two more away wins look necessary to keep the momentum going, as the 3 after that look rather more challenging, on paper at least.
*I know Grimsby aren't in the basement any more, but they were then
.
So, roll on the Valiants. Let's kick a man while he's down, for once - but not red-card literally! At least winning this one can't make us responsible for yet another managerial sacking
On Stanley On!!
