Agree and its a shame as we could have won at both Derby and Reading in the end. But, fact is we recovered at both from going a goal down,whereas in previous seasons we ight have folded.
I'm far from disappointed by October's results and certainly would have accepted coming out of the month NOT losing to any of Derby,West Ham, or Boro.
Hereford United into the old Division 2 under Terry Paine's onfield influence. 1975/6.
Northampton Town in the 1960's I believe went from Divisio 4 to 1 in consecutive seasons, although soon dropped back again. I think Swansea may have emulated them in the 70's in the first part of that achievement.
Worth also remembering that Mick Channon's goal was against a Liverpool team that at the time were at the peak of their games and one of the best teams in Europe;we however left them chasing shadows and looking like tailor's dummies.
I feared the run of Derby - West Ham - Reading- Boro as a watershed in our season, but to come out of it without defeat and remain top is really the proverbial dog's b0ll0cks. Delighted by it and it augers well, I'm almost fearing that I'm starting to believe in our potential to fulfill expectation.
To be critical we might even hve won at both Derby AND Reading in the final minutes.
