Halford of Col******r sums up the promotion pack

gilbo

Coach
Interesting reading, Link to BBC sport

It's nice to know that he is surprised by everyone being at the top of the table except for Swansea and Col******r! He also seems to be a bit "in love" with jamie cureton.
 
I hate to say it, Col Utd got better squad than us, they does look strong. But we are better than them in terms of quailty on the pitch, we prove that by beating them 3-1 in period when we are slowly coming to term of League One.

hell ya! great player, would do a job for us that's for sure.
 
No Iam not Wiggy, Iam just telling the truth - you don't win 12 out of 15 games & beat Sheffield Utd for nothing & field an near reserve side at MK Dons and beat them 2-1 if they haven't got a strong squad.

Here hoping Walsall do them

The only thing I would question is his views of his own team. He does seem to be seeing things through rose tinted glasses somewhat.

How can be not be surprised with where they are this season given their track record in this division?
 
"This squad could play in the Championship"

The correct word Greg is Lose in the Championship...

What is this kid on? Even Swansea would struggle in the Championship, Its widely thought theres not much difference between League 1 and 2, but The Championship and Premier$hite is a totally different ball game, Big teams with Big Crowds, Big Players and Big Bank Balances...
 
We can beat the Ipswich, Millwall & Crewes of this world, but Leeds & Sunderland is different, so we need to perform above ourselve to get something from them.

Home form is vital if we ever go up this year & stay up there. Our away form is a plus, so nicking odd win in Championship would be welcome.
 
Don't we hold the record for the most away wins in a row (was it 3) at Roker ParK? They were sick of the sight of us. Derby fans started complaining about playing "sh!t teams like Southend" well Duhhh, they never got promoted because they kept losing to "sh!t teams like Southend". There is a lot of Ego in the Championship, but most of the teams think that they are a lot better than they are. Worry about it after we're promoted, not now.
 
Halford's Website

You know, you really should check out Halford's website for stuff like this. He's been very confident about Col******r's chances all season.

In fact, you should all check out Icons on a regular basis. That'll keep me in a job, you see.
 
A fair assessment, just hope we dont loose to them when we go there, a 3-3 draw would be fantastic. Lets hope we see 2 essex teams in the championship next season

then the prem etc
 
Seems like a fair account, but I agree he's a little too complimentary about his own team (but I guess it's understandable). They're clearly a good side - but the best squad in the division?!?
