Since the Newcastle game we've seen the return to goalscoring form of wheels on his house, in a win over Peterboro and 3 points gained at Plymouth. We've seen Angie miss a penalty against Donny and More Reasons convert one, to deliver three wins in a row for the first time in about five years.
Could we do four in a row? I remember being at Palace when Dion and Hucks were running riot in 97-98 and we managed about six in a row, but three in a row is pretty good given how inconsistent we've been this millennium.
Forest away is never easy. We were there last year to see us lose, and planned to be there again this year, but ice, Dorset and 8 hour round trips meant it didn't happen.
We didn't miss too much, Forest stretched their unbeaten run to 15 and stay 3rd, we stay 17th. Forest have done well to build on last years relegation struggle, and look pretty strong this year, thanks to the investment made by their owner, delivered smartly by a canny manager. Arson, take note, investment equals progress. Nine points from the last twelve is a much needed improvement though, should keep the Coalman in charge for the second half of the season.
We're all off to Portsmouth on Saturday where we have a sniff of a chance of an upset. I'm already down here in preparation for the big day, soaking up the grey drizzle of the South Coast. Big thing to look out for at Fratton Park? The teamsheet. Players on the way out in the transfer window to Premier League clubs will not be playing - that's my prediction. We will see how Arson's stall is set out.
Pat the Dutchie is off back to Chelsea, so thanks for a few bright moments in your 20appearances. Need to work on your defending though, but definite signs of quality there, will be interesting to see if you ever make the first team squad. I doubt it, but time is on your side.
