Being superstitious and generally nervous about all things Alty, four consecutive draws and 5 games without a win automatically makes me think of 1999-2000 and the old adage "12th in March and still relegated".
So I've done a quick comparison between the two seasons and we have nothing to worry about:
2009 -2010 from 33 games we have earnt 45 points
1999-2000 was nothing like as succesful: in our first 33 games we only earnt 44 points!
in 99-00 we drew our 34th game against Kettering to move to 45 points from 34, with the following game being against Rushden which we lost! We had earlier picked up a hard earned point at Kingsmeadow.
So no comparison there at all.

So you think we will only get 1 more point this season??? As we did go down with 46 points in 99-00

That was a different decade mate. I will put my hand up and say the squad of today against the squad back then is far superior. The defence for starters is a tighter unit which clearly shows in our positive goal difference. We are not winning at the moment but still collecting valuable points….
Yes we are missing three key squad members but we have enough quality to get into the fifty points for another solid season…
Kettering tomorrow then 10 games left……..plenty of everything to play for ;)

Did we have Clive in 1999-2000?
no.

Aargh! The stuff of which nightmares are made.

I've only just achieved psychological closure on the Hednesford 0-5 result of that season and now you have to remind me of the trauma which followed for the rest of that season...
Thanks alot. I'll ring my therapist.
