Cheers for that Jeff!
Can I just start by handing immense credit to Alan Knill first of all. He has had some intolerable criticism levelled at him this season and IMO completely warranted in the main and he has ridden the storm with fans calling for his head especially during the 2 week match-free window we had recently. There was no hiding place, a win against Southend was a must as was at least a draw today. Well he has managed better than that with back to back wins and back to back clean sheets and therefore I wish to thank him and congratulate him for this success. I'm not apologising for past comments as I have said before, I think most were deserved and he certainly has a long way to go yet to win the fans round but by hook or by crook we are now in a much stronger position going into Christmas and I thank Alan Knill for this and give him great credit for resilience.
In addition I must give my full appreciation for the work that each player did out there today on the pitch. As Jeff said, we may have rode our luck and on another day who knows but I don't give two sh*ts now how we play, I just want points at all costs. The time has now gone for developing and testing. We can do that in the summer. Now is the time for pure grit and grinding out points at all costs and we've done that these past 2 games and despite a 91st minute leveller from Cowdenbeath costing me some Xmas money, I'm still skint, I'm still getting hammered tonight and I'm still over the f*cking moon that we have won today. Thankyou so much lads for today!
Finally a superb round of applause for all the yellow army that made the journey today, I'm sure most of you have poor to average paid jobs and it took a chunk of your money to make the trip so hats off all round to you all. I'm sure you made loads of noise and I was just sad to be stuck at home watching the forum where only about 10 of us seemed to give a sh*t that we even had a game! You guys made the effort to get to the game in cold blustery conditions in the cesspit of greater London surrounded by Danny Dyers and yet there are members on here sat at home behind a keyboard who can't even be bothered to post any words of encouragement or even acknowledge we had a massive game today. Absolutely pathetic.
Well done today you lot in the stands and I'm sure you will have enjoyed the game and got your rewards.
I'd say that a corner has now been turned and if we don't kick on from here and go on another appalling run of form it won't be the end of the world as there are some appalling teams in and around us hence the tight nature of the table but another bad run would erode confidence once again and it would be a tragedy to waste this positive period.
BLOODY HELL WE WON!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
