FFS, are we not allowed any positivity at this club? Yes, the late equaliser is gutting but who cares that we haven’t beat any of the top seven? Clearly doesn’t have much of an impact considering we’re top of the league. Some people need to stop waiting for us to slip up, or something bad to occur and just get behind this side.
Yes of course we are but many of our fans are never happy and wont be even if we won the Premier League.
We are top of the league on merit, it doesnt matter who the fuck you beat as long as you beat more teams than anyone else, doesn't matter if we never beat any of the top 6 teams as long as we beat almost all of the rest, which we have done.
Not rocket science, 23 teams, if we dont beat the top 6 that still leaves 17 other teams, if we win 90% of those (which we have sop far) and draw a fair few against the rest then we will still win the league.
We are 3 points clear at Christmas, thats an amazing record for a team tipped for a struggle by a few posters this season.
Under PdC in the championship winning side of 2011-12 we were sat in 5th place, 9 points behind Crawley, who were also promoted in 3rd place that season.
Under Macari in 85 when we won this league, we were in 2nd place at Christmas.
Under McMahon when we won L1, at Christmas we were in 2nd place on goal difference.
From what I have checked upon, Swindon Town have NEVER topped any division at Christmas since the war.
That on its own is enough to at least celebrate a bit.
