    Comrade 86 got a reaction from R@M in Paul Warne   
    We came out of admin with 6 rostered senior pros and just missed out off the back a non-existent pre-season, with a cobbled together team. That team is now challenging for the autos in our second season since facing liquidation, all achieved while under soft-embargo and an enforced business plan too.
    You can sneer all you like, but some folk are actually proud of how this club has turned things around, a notion you clearly find hilarious.

    Here are my stats that I also hope you trust, as I too have worked hard on them.
    Teams that accumulate more points than 22 other sides in their division over the period of 46 games get promotion in the English football pyramid 100% of the time.*
     
    *Stats based on a sample of over 120 years of competitive football where sides are ranked based on points-based performance.

    Good shout Steady! Our defence has been excellent all season, the odd brainfart notwithstanding, but the goals have been critical to keeping our noses ahead of the chasers, in recent weeks especially. I'm actually pretty chuffed with that, to top the stats for the entire EFL is seriously impressive. 
    Is it Matt Hamshaw (first team coach) who is due a collective doff of our caps? I think it is as IIRC, Warne joked about Hamshaw getting his stuff right in the post-match presser.  It seems to me that when he's poking fun at someone, that usually means he's very happy with them. Whoever it is will probably be getting a raise in any case! 
    EDIT: Thanks for confirming  @NottsRam - hadn't seen you post when writing this!

    On reflection, a loan with a buy option would have been some very cute dealing, but it's easy after the event, isn't it? I think he's enjoyed his time with us too and I'm quite optimistic. He's only a year left on his contract, was sent to us as surplus stock and the fans bloomin love him. It's not like Derby are tinpot either, he'll have noticed the crowds!
    I'm more than hopeful as players tend to get what they want in these scenarios and in Ebou's case, I believe he wants to play for Derby.

    He stayed so long last night, that he ended up drawing the raffle! Got a resounding chorus of "Sign him up, sign him up" when he finally left.
    He was so positive about being at Derby, but we know it's not as simple as that. Cardiff will have the say because I don't think we'll pay silly money for him. 
    But if he's got two offers on the table from championship clubs, I think he'd choose us unless it's one of the parachute clubs and the money is too good to turn down.

    Nerve jangling time still, as there are still 3 teams who could get the 2nd auto promotion spot. I think we really need a win at Cambridge on Saturday which would then give us an excellent chance.
    Bolton play Port Vale on Saturday and you would expect them to win (as we expected them to win big last night!) although Port Vale will be fighting hard to avoid relegation. If Bolton score first it could become an easy win (to reduce the goal difference). It seems they struggle a bit when the other side score first.
    Peterborough travel to Bristol Rovers and must win really. Bristol are a strange animal who can be awkward. I do expect Peterborough to win though. They then play Cheltenham away on Wednesday which again could be difficult with Cheltenham desperately clinging on (could Curtis do us another favour?).
    I would expect Bolton and Peterborough to win both their games. If Peterborough do not win their games then we face the possibility that they may rest players for the match against Bolton on the final day, making it easier for Bolton. If Bolton win against Port Vale, they have to keep going, play their strongest team and overtake our current 5 goal advantage in their last two games.
    I know I have stated what everyone knows but needed to get it off my chest.
    Oh, for a win on Saturday! But we all know we don’t do anything easily. I also expect a really difficult game against Carlisle, who have a free hit while our players will be on edge (silly mistakes, sendings off spring to mind).
    I am sure it will all be fine! (Fingers, legs and everything else crossed)
