6 April 2012

Mardy Diary writes: Well, with Town still inexplicably six points away from fifth place despite their stuttering recent form, there is still an outside chance of the play-offs. That said, it will take a remarkable run of results for Town, along with a few slip-ups by teams around us if we're to squeeze in at the last minute.

However while I hate to give up hope until it's all mathematically over, I can't help that sense of foreboding whenever managers begin to talk of "expecting a tough match" against a team that hasn't won in 15 matches. I know Hurst is just playing it safe when he says that, but given our recent return to the sort of performances that saw us struggle at the beginning of the season and the fact that it's Darlington, Bloody Darlington, I find myself starting to look ahead to the European Championships already.

I'm clearly not alone as a scan across the news and messageboards certainly draws nothing of note regarding Town, and it seems to me that there's already an end of term feel about this season. Or is that just me with my last minute, half-arsed diary? Ah, right...

Here's to six points over the Easter weekend anyway. Seeya.
