At the end of Saturday, we weren’t as far off the pace as we could have been with the draws for the teams above us certainly helping our cause as none of those we’re chasing got a win. Below the Cobblers, Brighton, Hereford and Cheltenham all look doomed to League Two and that’s one welcome relief, that games are running out and the dreaded ‘R’, certainly in Cheltenham’s case, could be next to a couple of names in the coming weeks.
Foe Stuart Gray, the two week break could not have come at a better time. A week on from Yeovil, we’re hopefully recharging the batteries at Sixfields. All the right noises are coming from the players with Chris Doig doing his skippers’ job by rallying the troops and Danny Jackman also rolling the sleeves up. This has to transfer onto the pitch at Bristol Rovers on Friday or we might not be so lucky with other teams’ results going into the Bank Holiday weekend.
The Memorial Ground isn’t the place you’d choose to go on the back of poor form and we have to get something from the game with Southend coming up on Holiday Monday, a side that always enjoys twisting our season in the wrong direction.
Testing times ahead and the war cries from the players must now turn into vital, vital Easter points.
