In with the New!

What a difference a few wins and a bit of confidence can make! Can you remember the despair after the Charlton game in November? Was it really only 7 games ago?

Lets not get carried away here - we were not playing the fantastic football that we were at the start of last season - far from it. But there was such an air of confidence about the team. Everyone was working hard but without the level of fear which we had seen earlier in the season.

OK - we rode our luck occasionally and things are only now starting to even themselves out after the happenings of the previous few months. This was particularly shown by the deflected shot where Kaspar Schmeickel was diving to the right post when the ball struck the outside of the left post - a couple of months ago those things were going against us.

Now only 3 points off the play-off places - just goes to show how tight this league is.

Nice goal from Joe Ledley again - I wish he wouldn't - he is attracting a lot of attention from Premiership clubs.
