Put down

I almost forgot…. how could I? Saturday is the last game of the season and those going have my complete and utter admiration. Hartlepool United in 18th and Charlton in 14th has all the makings of a cracker. At least the sun might be out.

If we’d been a racehorse we would have been put down by now as we limp over the League One finish line. A truly miserable and let’s be honest, scandalous 46 games plus the odd two or three cup embarrassments thrown in for good measure.

Still, in the next couple of weeks I will book my flight to coincide with the first game of next season. It is no good dwelling on these things is it now?

My mate called me earlier today from the Sponsor’s Dinner and it sounded like everyone was trying to put a brave face on it. Assurances and optimism were bywords but my mate said it was interesting to see some players guarded reaction to questions about next season, while others (and Semedo and Elliot were two) openly talked about their desire to stay and put the wrongs right.

If you’re going Saturday, cheer the lads on for me to help us avoid our lowest league position since my Grandad was a young man.

Live, laugh and be happy.
