    I think we can relax now. 

    In the last five games the bottom six have (cumulatively) played 30 games, won 3, drawn 8 and lost 19.  That's 17 points from 90. 

     
    Agree.  I think it also highlights why we’ve managed to win our last two games.  Played two of the worst teams in the division 
    In the same vein, it's why I didn't understand the relegation doom-mongering after we lost to Sheff Wed, Derby, Bolton etc.

    It's obviously not good enough for the club as a whole to be a firmly mid table outfit but it's been obvious that's what we are for months now. We were always going to pick up more points once the fixture list eased up.
    I think that's more understandable than you make out, when 6 months ago a lot of people were saying we were only in the bottom half because we had played all the good teams and that would quickly change when we played the bad ones.

    Whereas under previous managers we've sometimes been the sort of team who rise to the occasion when playing the better teams, and struggle against the poorer ones, under Holden we've turned into a team who generally beat the poorer teams and lose against the better ones. 

    Looking at the 8 games after the Fleetwood loss, when we've played good teams we've picked up 1 point out of 12, whereas when we've played poor teams we've picked up 10 points out of 12. 
  • In looking at promotion and relegation into whatever division we're in, I consider distance we have to travel

    There was a moment in the second half that was so bizarre, I wondered whether I had slipped into a parallel universe where football is scripted by the WWE writers’ room!

    On about 75 minutes, Cambridge delivered a shocking surprise, sneaking on MMA legend Royce Gracie, who wasted no time in  identifying his prey in the youthful and blissfully unaware Daniel Kanu. Gracie’s opening came quickly, rather carelessly, right in front of goal in his own penalty area, such was the level of his brazenness. The wiley old technician pounced on the naive striker, wrapping his arm around Kanu’s neck, applying pressure to his carotid artery, and dragging him down in one motion. For Kanu, he knew not what had happened; a complete yet temporary blackout. The referee was too far away to see this infraction and, before the ruse was uncovered, Gracie disappeared from the pitch.
    Sounds like David Attenborough should have filmed it. "Wild Britain"

    This dreadful bunch have still taken 10 points off Charlton in 10 games, and it could have been more if Forest Green ate more protein.
    Fixed for you.

    "Leaburn was replaced by starlet Kanu"

    Starlet ?????  Wtf  ??

    The kids done nothing. Scored for the reserves but is a kid playing a mans game and looks well out of his depth. He is certainly no Shelvey or Gomez. 

    So please dont try to idolise him too soon. 
    I bet you hate it when journalists misquote people too. It says “academy starlet”. He’s scored 60+ goals in two seasons for the academy.
    Oops, my bad. Sorry  
    Another mistake.
    You can not follow a possessive determiner with an adjective unless it is then followed by a noun. It should be 'my mistake' or 'my bad mistake.'
