27 games in, Paolo's boys 52 points, Lou's 55.
Would be a meassive feat to equal or better Lou's 86 team record, they'd only go on to drop another 10 points all seasons (five draws, no losses, the rest wins)

I have been saying all season that this season reminds me so much of that championship winning season, I see no reason why we cant go unbeaten until the end of the season now.

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

There does appear to be a great team spirit now with all at the club on and off the pitch, I have always had faith in PdC, even after the Saints debacle when a lot of fans were calling for him to go. I think he will become a legend at the CG. I feel that this could possibly emulate the season under Macari in 85-86, its panning out in a very similar way as that season did way back 25 years ago..... We started off very poorly only 2 wins and 1 draw in the first 8 games compared to 3 wins and 0 draws in the first 8 games this season. After 15 games that season we were in 8th place and had won 8, drew 1 and lost 6 games compared to being in 7th place and won 8, drew 1 and lost 6.......coincidence?  The only difference is that we have scored more and conceded less than that famous season, that season we had scored 18 and let in 19 compared to this season when we have scored 25 and conceded 15 goals at the same stage. Yes its the ramblings of a deluded old git but it does bear a striking resemblance to that season when we went on and recorded 102 points. Also that season we scraped out a lot of 1 and 2 goal wins, sometimes against the run of play and rode our luck like at Plymouth at the weekend and there was a great team spirit as we have now and the level of fitness of the team was very high as it is now. I think it all bodes welll for the future. |

The comparisions are uncanny to 1986, bad start, unbeaten run, beating higher league teams in the cup, work rate, team spirit. And we signed a brilliant keeper. |

Both Italians (ish), both had season-defining high profile squabbles with colleagues ...

Much better goal difference this time round, picked up in more recent games.. A good sign me thinks. |
