Now that the curse of ‘The Forest Town Stag’ has been lifted from the score thread I can see a new dawn on the horizon. Another week would have been spent on the training ground, another week for Graham to get his ideas over to the players and another week for injuries to be assessed and repaired.
We are at the stage with the side where the glass is either half empty or half full in each persons opinion to end the season. Myself I think there is enough in the squad and under the managers direction to finish with mid-table respectability. The team performed better as a unit last week, last ten minutes aside. The midfield moved as a unit better , shorter passes with more possession by all; the ‘Ginger Buffon’ has uneventful but steady full debut in trying conditions, the defence were better as a unit and upfront the ever running Rose and ever dangerous Maynard posed problems.
More of the same, through with at least one Hayden White step over, for me. At least a point and I will be happy. A win and I will be ecstatic.
So I am going for a two one win with a goal from Maynard, running from his own half and a belter from Bishop, ‘a la West Brom’.
Can’t make it though, as it is a damn good day out, but best wishes to all those that travel.
