Losers. Again.

Our away form has been the bane of our season. It probably reached its low point at Colchester on saturday, and Emma is sick of it.

Its been a deeply frustrating season. If we werent so good at home, you would just resign yourself to the fact that we arent good enough this season and its time to look to next season with the usual renewed hope.

But we have played so well for much of the season at home, that you know the team have a real chance of promotion this season, which gives you that hope for this season, rather than next.

But every week it seems this season takes a turn in a new direction. We win at home and we are in the play-offs. Then we lose yet again away from home and we are outside of the play-offs, with little to convince that the situation will change.

Colchester feels like the point where I lose faith in this season finally. Just when we got a foothold in the play-off places, heading into the run-in, I started to dream we could actually do it. Then a dismal performance and defeat to the bottom of the table side, without a win in months and without a clean sheet since August (which we of course gave them) and I cannot possibly see any way through this.

With two of our five remaining games away from home, against far better opposition than Colchester, we look to have just three games left to save our season. With Hull in such great form and Norwich desperate to beat us, its hard to see where the points come from.

Im not going to get my hopes up anymore. Lets hope we make some good signings in the summer and make a real go of it next season.

P.S. I have this feeling we will just go and win away at Wolves now, shocking everyone including me, and that promotion will be well and truly back on again!
