I have mixed emotions following 2 good results against Bromley and Ebbsfleet. Pride has certainly been restored after the desperately poor showing against Basingstoke but sadly 2 points from a possible 15 leaves City well short of what's needed to make the playoffs.
The truth is that we have lacked the consistency needed to succeed. We have talent and can, as last night showed, play committed and entertaining football but the 'win some lose some roller coaster' is not a recipe for promotion.
We do have the basis of a team that can make it next season but until we get the specialist dominant centre half, leader and midfield terrier and target man up front we can look forward to another mid table season.
It's hard to know how the rest of this season will go. The players won't have written off the chance of 5th spot but we will have to win 8 or so games in the run in to do it. With so much fixture congestion it is possible that 65 points could do it but I am just clutching at straws.
Personally I hate season's that end with a quarter of the fixtures still to play!
I hope its an opportunity to bring a few more younger players in even for cameo appearances...
This Saturday City have a real chance to record a first victory after a winless streak of 5. Maidenhead is a happy hunting ground for us.
Then Dorchester at home on 15th March is another good opportunity to pick up points.
We can all then enjoy a carnival atmosphere at the 'community day' against Chelmsford on 22nd March.
You can pay what you want!
See you there!
