Ahh, the days

We had made our usual crap start away from home in the previous away days and the result and performance was a welcome surprise. Walmsley looked quality that night, one of his better games when he was deployed in a midfield role.
My mate drove a car load of us down in a tin can (still don't know how the £100-mobile managed to get us there and back in one piece). I hope Burton make it up this season, we always seemed to play well there (FA Trophy aside) and often seemed to travel there in good numbers. Plus it’s only about 40mins on the train for me

Some great memories there. Tell you what, being football league is great, but i kind of miss chasing promotion and that dream and always being one of the best footballing teams in the league under Harvey. Mind you Sammy got the job done and i would rather be a where we are now than still in the BSP. I do miss the end of season buzz we had ever since the playoffs got introduced though. Can't see us having that for a while, unless we have a end of season relegation dog-fight to get stuck into... still not that i am complaining though!
Also, people say there is not much difference in quality between the top conf clubs and L2. I agree with this, but this must mean that Sammy has got us playing much more efficient and 'route one' stuff in the League, as i would love to see us knocking in goals like that nowadays. It all seems to be set-plays and punts up field now, (However i do realise we can't be expected to out play many teams at this level). On the other hand, it is admirable how we scrap for every goal and every point since promotion, whereas once our talent could provide.
All in all guess what i am saying is, wouldn't swap league status for anything, just miss the entertainment of old!
