Where are you?

Having seen Town play two matches within 4 days I failed to see any similarities between the two performances.

Having seen Town play two matches within 4 days I failed to see any

similarities between the two performances. At Cardiff we were inept and

apart from hitting the bar after 30 seconds were second best to

everything (apart from getting in the tunnel at half time) for the

remainder of the match! Against Southampton although we weren't at our

glittering best we still had too much for a saints side who showed lots

of characteristics of past Burley sides, lots of nice football without a

cutting edge and very poor at the back.

What I am also at a loss to

understand is why our support has become so poor at home, but for my

money seems to have increased away? I mean surely the glory hunters have

missed the plot here; we never win away from home, yet win every game at

home! At Cardiff we must have had over 1,000 fans which is superb

considering the ludicrous kick off time, yet at home in what was a

fairly attractive looking fixture on paper less than 20,000 turned up!

I wonder if those stay away fans will be turning up next season should we

get promoted? The team has produced the best football in the division

all season and thoroughly deserve crowds which reflect that, I know you

can argue Watford only get 15,000 despite being top of the league, but

their support has always been low, we know that we have far more fans

that could turn up because they have turned up in the recent past. My

final point on this is that surely now with this investment deal all but

done and our lofty league position the crowds can only start going one

way.

We now have a sequence of 4 home matches out of the next 6 games, this

is an IDEAL opportunity for us to cement ourselves amongst the top 6,

win those 4 games and pick up 3 or 4 away points (Has to happen

eventually even the budgies have now won away) and we will be firmly

challenging for promotion.
