I sense that my sorting solace this year will be Paulo di Canio’s Swindon Town. As predicted here yesterday, Walsall away (I still have no idea where Walsall is, and am not sure that I care greatly) was no great hurdle. A fine 2 nil win now sees my second team sixth on 29 points. But with a cracking + 11 gold difference the Robins (I am getting the hang of being a Swindon supporter) are now just three points off second place.
There are, sadly, now no cup distractions. The transfer embargo has been lifted so Paulo can strengthen his already talented squad if he wishes (how about buying James Collins and saving West Ham a few defensive horrors?) and things are looking very good indeed. Apparently Paolo says “we dominated” at Walsall. Good news. Next up is Yeovil at home on Saturday. The Somerset side are a few places below us in the table and this is another match that should be won.
Tranmere are catchable on 37 points (with a corking +21 GD) but realistically the goal now must be second place, automatic promotion for the Robins and a summer transfer for the chosen one to East London.
