Fans survive solitary home setback

With great resolve and fortitude, it would appear we Poppies (other than the usual few suspects) have managed to see beyond the mid-week defeat at home to Hereford.  Where, usually, we would have taken to social media to rend our team, club, officials, fellow supporters into bloody strips of gore simply for not winning a football match, on this occasion we seem to viewing matters in a calmer manner.

However.

However, we can only do this for half a dozen important reasons: -

1. Hereford only scored at the start of the game because we weren't ready
2. Our offside goal was actually NOT offside
3. The ball had gone out of play for their killer third goal 
4. We had the better of the second half
5. We only lost because we were denied the Tin Hat
6. Somehow Richens WASN'T cautioned, and we only win when he gets booked

Therefore, logically, we won 2-1.  Kind of.

Fortunately we have conveniently forgotten that Hereford pretty much bossed the game for long periods, passed better than us, and put away their chances far better than our wasteful team.  Their defenders didn't make a load of calamitous individual mistakes, or be run ragged by a tricky winger.  And, their "Rene" showed how to lead the line and score a goal, unlike our Rene, who instead, decided he would be better employed trying to wind-up the opposition players and fans.

The fight is back on again for the Poppies.  Can we win the league?  Probably not.  Can we get into the Play-Offs?  We have a good a chance as anyone.  Would we all have taken this position were we offered it back in August?  Abso - f*cking - lutely!
