Statistically speaking, we are back to where we began our Football League journey in 2006-07: around 1 win in four and 50 points. Coley used to point to the fact that the club never went backwards under his tenure. You might be tempted to dismiss this as a brag, but its a useful mantra for a club like ours who will be vulnerable to relegation at this level.

The win yesterday displayed many of the encouraging hallmarks of this team - physicality, work ethic and an ability to play on the break, merits that Chimer has pointed out in our ability to beat stronger opponents away from home. There are weaknesses to address where at all possible, but we need to be patient. A bit of judicious squad-building in the summer and signs of progress next season - 60 points, say - would be fine by me. It took Coley four seasons to reach that mark.
