You'd do much better to wait for us to say well done you were right Pooch. YOU WERE RIGHT!
But the good thing about being an optimist is you are glad when you are right. I end up apologising when we get thrashed, our keeper has a stinker and I've predicted it .....
Yesterday's result didn't surprise me, though the doubts over both Dennis and O'Grady were worrying until I read Bob's and how deep a panic they were in over Jack's matter-of-fact revelation of that potential injury-crisis. I thought he was aiming his words at Luton, simultaneously giving them the idea we wouldn't be much of a threat, whilst seeming quite calm and confident in front of his own men.
We often forget that other sides have bad days too and certainly lack total self-belief. I loved the way the Beeb kept stressing Luton had lost Danny Hylton for the game when we were going out with a reserve centre forward, a centre back pairing with no experience and a keeper coming off a game of two howlers ........ (I did think that when their manager was praising the strength of their squad when he fielded 10 reserves against Peterborough was doing the equivalent of protesting too much ......)
Sometimes you win matches, sometimes the opposition loses matches, and both can happen at once.
