25 September 2004

A dire game at Cambridge was lifted slightly after the break as Town notched up their first away win since the invention of the printing press. The points are sealed thanks to Michael Reddy releasing John McDermott for his first goal since a 25-yard rasper in a similarly mind-numbing affair at Valley Parade at the beginning of 1999 (not during the Jurassic period as some sources have it). Seven minutes earlier work by Jason Crowe allowed Andy Parkinson to break the deadlock, scoring his first league goal for the Mariners. Town now lie twelfth in the table, three points off the play-off places, a position that hopefully slaps the cheeks of those doom-mongers calling for Slade's head a mere two games ago.

Elsewhere, Scunny are deposed from the top of the division as they draw at Mansfield, while Phil Jevons's replacement seals three points for Yeovil who leapfrog Brian Laws's men.

And finally, one little snippet reports Colin Cramb is supposedly arriving in Cleethorpes on Monday. Right, time to see if supping brandy will alleviate me of this cold.
