I'm miserable because I'm currently listening to Joy Division. But I still think we'll get enough points from our relatively easy games to go up. And I've just checked Southampton's fixtures and I can see that Huddersfield, Swindon and Charlton have also got to play them away. Which is nice.

We will grind out results and start to play well again I am sure, Bechio on fire regardless of his skill levels, need Beckford to start again and we will be fine. We will go up, we will be fine and others will fall apart, our squad is too strong and Grayson too good to let us fail. I for one am optimistic as a few of you are too. Next two games 6 points then a hard run for 3 games.. just believe and hope. Come on guys lets get behind the guys and stop being so miserable as usual.. or is it cos I live in warmer climes and not in the bloody rain all week? MOT. Come on you whites.
