Fate?

Yes, for all of those doubters amongst you this is the beginning of the promotion party!!

I know what you're thinking, he's tempting fate, "these people who want to know which game will promotion be sealed at are going to be the death of us"!! Unfortunately that is simply not the case, if it was we would not be where we are now.  It was 1st May 2011 that I broke the news of our promotion in 2012 so I've been tempting fate ever since and look where we are!!

It's going to be another tough game and I have to say I'm not expecting glorious footy, in fact Oldham always seem to bring out the draw in us.  I'll be on my way in just over an hour and for those of you who are having doubts or think we are struggling of late remember we are EIGHT points clear of third, although NINE with goal difference, I believe there is a reason for that unless of course it's fate!!

I do not believe in a fate that falls on all men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

It wasn't that bad!

OK so it wasn't the win we all craved for and it was a bit hairy in the second half.  All-in-all though it steadied the ship and we didn't really look like losing, in my opinion of course!
The penalty was down to a little lack of confidence in the back five, basically I don't think Morrison believed Hamer when he called for it!  Other than that and one or two minor scares in the second half it was not too bad and Waggy could of won it if he'd connected with his left foot.
So onwards now to Yeovil, who look a tricky test tomorrow night, but with two new faces in the building I'm expecting a better performance and the three points to be ours.

This probably won't be my last post for a while as I sense the need amongst my fellow Addicks for reassurance. Please don't worry, it will be OK, SCP knows what he's doing and I'm still confident of Carlisle away!

The Wheels Have Come Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I know, it's been seven months since my last post and you all thought I was just some fair weather blogger who clearly couldn't be bothered anymore!  How wrong you were!

You see, for the two of you who were reading my posts back then, it was pretty obvious what this blog was all about, and if it wasn't the clue was just underneath the title!!

So after a few games it became obvious my optimism was hardly needed.  Lets face it, there cannot be many fans who haven't thought nearly all season, "this is it, we're on our way"!

But now, oh my dear Lord, we're really in trouble aren't we.  Thank goodness we can't get relegated, because on current form we are heading DOWN!

People please, let's have a reality check.  We are NINE points clear of second place and I guarantee that EVERY single fan of EVERY single club in our league would swap places with us now in a blink of an eye.

What the team needs now is our total support, booing when they have clearly had a bad half is not acceptable, supporting them through thick and thin is what it is all about.

I sometimes wonder why I am more inclined to go to games when we have lost than when we have won!  It can only be that the joy you feel when we win again is greater (hard to believe I know) than when you are winning every week.

To that end I shall be on my way up the A1 this weekend to watch the boys and give my vocal support.  You won't get a report of the game on this blog, you may not even hear from me for another six months, after all I'm only really needed when things are going badly!!

In prosperity our fans know us; in adversity we know our fans.
