Dario and Neil
We've only lost to Wigan and that was the first game of November plus with it being that Walker was sent off because of the infamous Mark cooper wanting the spotlight. So really that match is void to us. Other than that our streak has been brilliant. A 2-1 win over Brentford was down to the Country's top scorer and the player better than the over rated Earnshaw..... ahem i mean Hulse. Then a superb Ashton goalscoring return saw us knock out Blackpool in the LDV, note these were winners of the so called mickey mouse cup and they played more or less a full side against our half reserves.
So that led us to Port Vale away in the FA Cup, was anyone doubting our tripple over them, apart from Graham "I refuse to challange Dario in a interview" McGarry ofcourse, obviously not as Deano sealed his second in as many games to grab the game in the final minutes also grabbing himself a place in Englands U-20s.

This leads us into Saturday with a 3 game winning streak behind us. Our best wrinning streak since January when we beat Sheff Wed, Grimsby, Rotherham and Norwich on the bounce, i know... the quality! The last three wins though have been impressive. Brentford were above us in the league when we bat them and we were still 7th. Blackpool always will pose a threat with their pasing game ,not as good as ours may i say, along with them also being tipped to be 'there and there abouts'. Then Port Vale, well ok desite their lack of creativity, good strikers, good defending and ground, they were still widley tipped to be in the play-offs this season. So thats 3 wins against 3 play-off hopeful teams... it could be 5 by the end of the month with Blackpool and Bristol City both to come.
Which leads me on to my point... Should we win, and we won't now i've f**ked up our fate, both games Dario can be the only manager to claim Manager Of The Month... something he wasn't won in donkey's years. Beating Bristol City would deserve it on it's own with them being on a 11 game unbeaten streak but we all know on our day we can beat every team in this division and with Dario looking to have only 1 player out, if unlucky, for the next two games weshould be confident of taking 6 points.

Note: There is no such thing as being over confident.
