Yes, we've all heard the "Bird-in-mouth" analogies, how incredibly witty I am. I'm sure you're all tired of being told what you already know. But I'm going to do it anyway.
It seems every time we lose we're not fit for League Two, and every time we win we're on course to win the league. So it'll come as no surprise to any of us when 5pm comes on Saturday, that, should we have lost, Mick will be on the bacon-slicer sooner than you can say....bacon. We're naive, we're fickle, we're the worst fans in the country, yatta yatta yatta, now we've got the skepticism out of the way...
I'm actually rather confident! Watching us for the first time in a while against Charlton renewed what little hope had survived, and that old spark inside we harbour and hope will once again set aflame our belief has reignited my optimism, and suddenly there's hope for Mick's apparent no-hopers. Our very own whiz-with-a-heineken (please take that jokingly, it's not serious) Ebanks-Blake has burst right onto the scene with recent braces against Southampton and Charlton (and what a second goal from our free-scoring frontman), Seyi has stepped out of the shadows and started bossing games, Hennessey has maintained his magnificent form, and hey, no penalties conceded by Neil Collins in FIVE games! Result!
Nonetheless, a timely resurgence aside, we face a tough task against Bristol City, one win in seven or not. It seems everyone is intent on a sudden City collapse and that we'll steal 3 points without hassle, but it's worth remembering that they're not where they are, 39 games into the season, because they're playing with a rush of blood to the head. They're the 2nd best team in the league at present, I see no reason why we shouldn't approach it as such. Another counter attacking performance like that of the Charlton game will do just nicely. Oh, and three points.
