Free scoring Addick's win again...
I'm sitting here posting this suffering from a rather bad case of man flu (or a bit of a cold as it's technically known).
Another Saturday has passed us by, and another incredible win by the mighty Addick's. I can't recall the last time I saw us put five past opposition at The Valley.
Besides the fact that BWP is now on 13 goals for the season what's really encouraging is the spread of goals this season with the midfield contributing over 40% of those scored so far. One of the centre backs even got in on the act at the weekend.
The way we have been playing since the Stevenage game it's quite difficult to single out individual players for particular accolades such is the level of team performance at the moment. Only one more game, away to Brentford, before what I think will be our biggest league game of the season. Huddersfield play their next league game at home to Notts County which may see them beat Nottingham Forests record of league games unbeaten (they equalled it at the weekend). If they do avoid defeat to take their place in the history books it will set things up pretty nicley for the game on the 28th, which dare I say it, I think there's a good chance of us winning to further extend our lead at the top of the table.
If you look at our position at this stage last season along with Brighton the eventual champions you get a better idea of just how far Sir Chris has taken us.
After 17 games we were on 31 points and second behind the Sussex club who themselves were on 35 points. After the same number of games we're on 40 points. With six games between now and Christmas there are 24 more points to play for. If this fantastic winning streak continues we'll enter 2012 on 64 points. If we maintain our season to date form of 2.35 points per game we'll be on 54 points. After 23 games Brighton were on 46.
I know we're not even at the halfway mark, but it is begning to look like one of those special seasons.

So many ifs in your post. I'm too scared to admit I agree with you. Just imagine a serious injury to Jackson and BWP. Hoping and praying this season will be looked back upon as a special one, but fearful of the disappointment if we crash like the end of last season. Having said that I'm enjoying it much more so far, than recent years. Some very good football too when you consider the level we're at. Dare I say that this team could perform at a higher level even, given the chance!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I honestly think that you would not need to strengthen too much to have the makings of a very good Championship side. And when you look at some of the results the under 18's have been getting against premiership sides t really is looking alot rosier than it has done in some years.
