Just looked up on wiki about the 96/97 team. From March 15th onwards we didn't win by anymore than 1 clear goal until the end of the season. So winning ugly is what we have to do for the rest of the season! I remember that there were some real scraps towards the end of that season. Burnley, Crewe and I think Watford were all 1-0. There was a game V Wycombe at home which was 2-1 and it was one of the tensest games I've ever been at. Of course Chesterfield away I don't think was noted for its sparkling football either. That team could play some unbelievable stuff at times, which they're still renowned for but they could also mix it up when needed. Similar to DC's style now in many ways. If there had been the internet like it is now back then there would have been bellyaching all over the show about how we were just scraping through games. In defence of that side. They were shattered. They had played a lot of football that year. What I could never understand was dj never played the second string in the auto windscreen. He did against Burnley and we still won! He should have v Bury, Carlisle as well.

So winning ugly is what we have to do for the rest of the season! That team were playing 3 or 4 games a week - they had to conserve energy! We aren’t creating enough nor finishing the odd chance we get clinically enough. If we make third place I’ll be surprised. The next 2 games will tell us a lot about what our fate will be. 2 wins and I’ll be frothing at the mouth with enthusiasm. Less than 4 points and I’ll be worried about making the play offs!

Talking of nerve-wracking late winners, has anyone enquired as to the whereabouts of Paddy’s beaver? Does it frolic wildly in the delicate Edgeley wilderness behind the Pop Side? It’s services may be required in the near future…

Bit like our going on the pitch season after season on our last game at EP. Others also do this but it seems a tradition at EP for many of us.
