There have been some good posts this week that I have enjoyed reading. 
The runner up that almost won this was Budleigh with his ode to the grandstand and I love the idea of football fans voting for poetry which is light years away from the stereotypical image of yesteryear! ;D
However, the winner this week has come from a great guy with a good bit of analysis that one poster was even moved to salute! Well done Pete, but hopefully the team can prove you wrong!
We got there in the end but what a tortuous route and who would have thought that just four points from our last five games would have seen us through into the playoffs?
Worryingly our form has tailed off and I think that maybe we have peaked and have probably gone as far as we can. Losing the experienced and capable Craig Stanley is the biggest blow but who knows?
The Shrews will still be tasting that embarrassing 0-5 defeat here and will want to put that score right. We were immense that day just as they were very poor we were just very very good. Robinson had a point to prove but has struggled for form of late and just hasn't been able to influence matches in the way would all have hoped. Never the less his contribution along with our other loanees have all contributed to a very successful campaign and to be in this position now is just a bit of icing on the cake which will add, most importantly to our meagre finances.
Whatever happens now is in the hands of the gods and as individual players what team turns up over the next two or perhaps three matches.
To reach the playoffs in three of Paukl Buckles four seasons is an incredible achievement, I to questioned the wisdom of his appointment when we were at the lowest point in the clubs history but now I wonder just who else could have achieved what he has achieved and stuck loyally and relentlessly to the task with minuscule funds and resources whilst having to fend off insults and unfair criticism from certain individuals.
He's done it his way and thank goodness he did.
