That game (the 1-1 away at Pisspoor Road) was the low point of our season

I was really worried at that point, it was a nadir. We looked clueless about how to unpick (or even really pressure) a bunch of muscular but very limited hoofers. Toothless football.

Since that match it’s just been one long, lovely ascent to the broad, sunlit uplands.
