Day 211

Josh Gowling made the Blue Square Bet Premier Team of the Week for the second time running, and the third time in the past month. The in-form defender missed out on the Player of the Month award because he only actually played two of our four matches in January.

We’re being labelled as “comfortable” favourites to beat Newport County tomorrow, despite the bookies giving them 3-1 odds to win. With odds like that I’d hardly call it comfortable, but hopefully our performance will fit the descriptor.

Grimsby Town are making a late play for the title. They swept the awards this month thanks to four big wins out of five games. It looks to be too little too late for The Mariners, though, as they sit eleven points off the pace with sixteen games to play. That’s a big margin to pick up, especially with both my boys and Mansfield in exceptional form at the moment.
