Leeds v Millwall

[pauld]

Looking at the fixtures, I'd now make Millwall favourites for auto.....

Think I made this point last night (or if I didn't I meant to) on the basis of both fixtures and form. But chatting to my brother today, I managed to convince myself that actually we have better opportunities to take points off those around us and so are more in control of our own destiny and that Millwall's fantastic run just means they're due a dodgy spell whereas we've had ours. I think I might have been getting a little carried away tbh .

So with my sensible hat on, Hartlepool first, then see how we go from there.

I watched bits of the game last night and isn't 'Marching On Together' part of their problem as it keeps harking back to their glory days of the late 60's and early 70's. Maybe they need to come up with a new anthem and move on into a new era

'We Master Bates Together'?

So Colchester finished 3-3 ... not a bad result for us, even if they were 2 down.

Could do with Brentford doing a job on the 'Wall.

Millwall have 5 at home, where they are formidable....and only 4 away. The reverse for us, and includes visits to Leeds, ColU and Millwall....it could be done, but atm they have to be favourites.

If we're being down to earth and realistic then I agree, but a good run and a bit of passion means that those games put the whole thing very much in our hands. As we'd need a good run and a bit of passion anyway, I can't see it as that much of a disadvantage.

Of course I'm seeing it from a very one sided point of view, us having games against teams around us. From the other teams point of view they have games against us, but I'm not used to seeing it like that.

urrr. meh. or something.

This BBC article on Lids and their collapse over the last few months say it's down to the fact they are such a big side that it's our cup final.

Where have we heard that before :
