Cheers and same to you IFA. It was a busy Christmas in 414 house with kids their families round and a post-NY overseas trip to see my daughter. I did pop my head in only to find majority of the conversation around Maw vs Ellis, slagging off of Iron Hour, Jerry, Earl and so on, so I quickly retreated back to my sun lounger with a cold pint. Same reason I avoid participating on the FB page.
Agree with your 7th-10th prediction, it’s extremely tight and plenty with games still in hand.
Going well? Good to see you’re still easily pleased Deerey. For a lot of us it’s going to take more than a 45 minutes of good football per 20 odd games to be convinced after the utter dross we’ve seen for majority of this season.
The seven unbeaten run is a good PR spin, but not exactly the achievement it’s being hailed as:-
A 0-0 draw at home to Alfreton, one of the worst games seen by many at GP.
A 0-0 draw at home to Hereford, subpar and painfully dull.
Another 0-0 bore draw against part time Darlington.
A piss poor performance and skin of the teeth last minute 2-1 win to the league whipping boys Marine, by an arguably undeserved penalty.
The reality is; there was only one acceptable performance in those 7 games. But after some of the horror shows we’ve seen this season (Rylands, Alfreton, Guisley to name but a few) the bar has been set so low that anything better than ‘utterly shite’ is now deemed an ‘improvement’ even if we’re still very poor.
