If you'll allow me to use the famous quote by baseball legend Yogi Bera, The players and manager might have changed, however, we seem to be in exactly the same position we have been in several times over the last couple of seasons. Going on good runs, poor runs (especially at home), playing some impressive football, some dire football, looking like world beaters, flattering to deceive. This is brought home to me in sharp focus due to the fact that I only get to watch about 8 games a season and there is always a big gap in between games. This is why all true "shrimpers" must get behind the team. We will be in with a big shout at the end of the season. Sooner or later it will be our year. Next game for me, Wycombe at home March 7th, can't wait to cheer the lads on.
 
Last year we had a club record winless run and still ended up in the playoffs. If we can avoid something like that this year we should be looking at autos. There's still a lot of football to be played but the fact that we're in the hunt with half the season gone can only be a good thing!
 
Brown must be given until the end of the season, our chances of going up this season are fragile, but not unrealistic. We always seem to go on a run, good or bad towards the end. Changing things now would be a mistake. There is no sense of accomplishment right now, however, we've not been given 5th place at this stage of the season, we've had to earn it.
