Well at least we won. Apparently there was a football match going on out on the pitch in front of us, although I have seen more skill and tactical awareness on a Sunday league park. It is remarkable that after more than two and a half seasons, McCall stills seems to have no idea on tactics or formation. His latest ploy appears to be a five man midfield, that is continually by passed by the big hoof up to Hansen. If this is not bad enough, instead of moving into space searching for the flick on, they all run after the ball like a bunch of overgrown toddlers, Evans being the worst offender. He runs every where, but never into space. I'd love to know what Boulding has done to upset our ginger gaffer, although he didn't massively impress on this rare start. Still three points off the playoff places means we still have hope, although Saturdays game against high flying Rotherham will provide a better barometer of our ambitions for promotion.

Pie Rating- It would have been nice to provide a picture of the Darlo pie offerings at this point, but my camera finally succumbed to the torture that Crespo and Sprocket subjected it to in Munich. The tosspots. This ground was the scene of the worst grub sampled last season, and I approached the counter with trepidation, and plumped for the Steak and Kidney. It was better than last years, but once again barely tepid in temperature. And they sauce was some no name generic brand, that required three sachets to garner a decent splash. The good Doctor was much more appreciative of his meat and potato pie, and gave it a seven if remember right, but I wasn't so sure, and thought a second was needed to make my decision. No pies till half time, the spotty youngster told me. Chance would have been a fine thing, after lining up for a good twenty minutes at the interval, the geezer in front bought the last three in the whole ground. A catasro-pie! An angry 4/10

Crespo Watch-He accused me of winding him up, and we fratched for the majority of the game, and all of the journey home. Made up after we got back on the ale. Gains points for driving us up there. 6/10
