We continue to stagger and ‘The Hat’ continues to work, its just weird.

I am not a superstitious person however I have a hat which whenever I have worn it at a game we have not lost. Yesterday it was 15 degrees, so not really woolly hat whether, so I had it in a bag with me. The first half we were rubbish, so I put it on in the second half, and our performance was greatly improved, we scored twice, and could have scored another 3, but for their keeper, who was man of the match by a mile. He pulled off 3 or 4 excellent full stretch saves, which on another day we have given us a comfortable victory.

So we are 2 points clear of Posh, and 7 points clear of MK, we have 5 games left and need 8 points to guarantee promotion on goal difference.

Player Review:

Warner – 6 – Could have done better for the first goal, but generally a solid game.
Gilbert – 6 – He had a good game until he was injured on the stock of half time.
Kisnorbo – 7 – A solid performance, that we needed from centre half
Hobbs – 3 - Out of position both goals, if we pay £400K for him, it will be £399k to much.
Mattock – 6 – Was skinned several times, but never really compromised
Gradel – 6 – Generally a good game was unfortunate to be taken off in stead of Dyer
Dyer – 6 – Still looks nervious in a challenge, great cross for the 2nd goal
Oakley – 6 – Again very poor crosses, but scored a great 1st goal
King – 6 – Solid again, but needs to impose himself more on tight games
Howard – 6 – A nothing game from Howard, he wins most of the knock down, but never finds a player
Fryatt – 7 – Good header for the 2nd, however should have scored at least one more!
