  1. I think that I speak for all Town fans in saying that we don't really want to be the new Southend. In reply to an earlier poster, Oscar is injured at the moment but has played well in central midfield in a number of games, especially at Sheffield United where he scored our third. I take the points made about drawing too many, but there is a lot to be said for not losing. We have had 24 wins and 18 draws since we lost at Southampton and 9 wins and 8 draws so far this season. More than 2 points a game ought to be enough. but then our 87 points last season would have been good enough for automatic in every season since 1993. We have another Brighton this season (Charlton) but thankfully no Southampton. Hopefully Sheffield Wednesday will be Huddersfield to our Saints.
  2. One of your academy coaches, Anthony Limbrick, was a guest at my daughter's wedding in July. He had tried to keep his employment secret, but he was outed. I think he was genuinely surprised to find all the Town fans there, perhaps two dozen of us, all saying the same thing - that you were just that bit better than us and deserved to go up. He is a very fine fellow and was particularly interested to see how Oscar Gobern does. I'm pleased to see that both clubs have carried on with their good runs - in your case blinding - and hope that both will be promoted, automatically, in May. There has been a lot made of Town's 42 match unbeaten league run, which, had it all been done in the same season, would be worth 90 points. Our last 46 league games would have yielded 96, including the home win v Brighton in December 2010 and our last defeat, at St Mary's on 28 December. But I wonder if you realise that Saints have amassed 104 points from their last 46 games, including, of course, 16 matches in the higher division (32 wins, 8 draws and 6 defeats). You might actually manage 104 this season. Hope so. Whatever else you do, beat Brighton, Peterborough and especially L***s (well done on the opening day). Good luck from someone who follows his team win or draw.
