This Point In (Christmas) Time (1 Viewer)

Last season on Christmas Day we were 13th and nine points of the play-offs, this season we are 13th and ten points of the play offs (baring in mind that we also had a ten point deduction, which currently would leave us 7th), if we can replicate the first half of the season maybe we will have a play-off spot to cheer at the end of the season a feeling that I can emphasise after the way we played on Saturday. If we play like that consistently we will not lose often after Christmas.

Of course they're a few kinks that need to be adressed those being the defensive frailties and living in the hope that we have a squad with enough depth, but back to Saturday for a moment until Swindon's speculative equaliser our defence was strong and didn't look like it was going to concede.

I agree we are not far away and according to the reports we played very well against Swindon. Conceding two late goals in a game is a lack of concentration.

In fairness there equaliser was very good on the volley from the edge of the Area, Smurf look un-sited as it came past bodies and into the corner, the lads did defend the set piece well if anything all you can say is they didn't close the player down on the edge of the area quick enough.

The second it looked like Clarke was expecting the offside flag and Storey used his pace to come across Seaborne and finish nicely over Smurf, it did look on side from where I was to be fair but it wasn't just Clarke, Cryus and Blair both stopped as well.
