Don't get too despondent about today, unless you have been harboring thoughts of a play-off place at the end of the season.

The reality is we lost away to a team that will be there or there abouts for the play-offs (they always are, without going up). We were a distant second, but it doesn't really matter. Despite all the protestestations to the contrary, Stanley were never in with a realistic shout of promotion and mid-table would be a great finish.

That means that we have to take points off the Barnets, Rochdales, Mansfields, Chesters and Macclesfields of this world and we'll be alright. So ignore the results so far, enjoy the Peterborough game next week for what it is (a chance to pick up a few bonus points), and concentrate on Grimsby at home on the 8th. September. That's the first game this season that really matters.

Lose that and we can begin researching the route to Farsley Celtic.
