10 April 2012

After that tremendous turn of form in the middle third of the season, Town have failed several times to win in their many recent games. And with every failure to take three points there's been a general sigh of resignation across North East Lincolnshire, a psychological settling back into the armchair, and a stoical fixing of the gaze on the horizon, where some are seeing a new dawn in a 2012-13 promotion challenge. Over the last month or so, if you listen to the general mutter of opinion around Blundell Park, Town's season seems to have ended on at least four separate occasions. It's a shame, really. The players showed against Gateshead that they could still play, and for all those failures to beat Tamworth and Darlington they're only five points off the play-offs. Not that it's a realistic possibility now, of course. But your original/regular Diary can't help thinking things might have turned out differently if the players hadn't believed all that bollocks about the season being over with 20-odd points still to play for.
