I really wanted to wait until after Tuesday's game against Wrexham,
but never mind - it's not as though there is a shortage of things
to discuss.
We
played Grimsby at home on Saturday, and I think that most of us
were expecting a tough, dour game. In that respect it didn't disappoint.
They
came for a draw, and that is what they got. I think that one of
our weaknesses this season has been breaking teams down when they
settle in for a point.
We
sometimes lack that little bit of extra creativity needed, and hopefully
that is something that Gudjon can remedy post-administration.
It
didn't help that Gorre and Lumsdon, two of our more creative players,
were both missing with injury - let's just hope at least one of
them is fit for Wrexham.
We
did of course get a fantastic opportunity to win the game. A penalty
in the closing minutes - conceded by Darren Barnard formerly of
Barnsley, and missed by Gallimore - formerly of Grimsby.
Its
not the first time this season, the same thing happened against
Oldham at home in the final minutes. Four points thrown away, and
I can't help thinking we will regret that at the end of the season.
The
atmosphere was a little flat on Saturday. Surprising really, as
news that the takeover had been completed at 5.30am that morning
had come through.
We
are of course still in administration, but according to Mr Ridsdale
that should be sorted in a matter of days.
After
all the waiting, I think we were expecting more of a celebration.
The important thing is that we now move on, put the last few years
behind us, and set about getting ourselves back into the First Division.
So,
Wrexham at home, and another ex-Red to welcome back. Lee Jones,
who hardly set the world alight at Oakwell, is leading the line
for Wrexham - let's just hope we can keep him and his colleagues
very quiet.
They
are on a good run, and will be looking to go top if they win both
their games in hand. I think we will get the three points tonight,
2-1 to the Reds, and I'm going to suggest Betsy to score.
The
speculation about new players is picking up pace. I think we need
to strengthen all over the pitch, but priority has to be up front.
Some
pace at centre half, and a couple of good full backs wouldn't go
amiss either, but lets not be greedy. We can go second on Tuesday-
the future is looking good!!
COME
ON YOU REDS!!
