April 5:
First of all, it's happy birthday to Danel Sinani. He was born on this date in 1997, in Belgrade, making him 25 today. His parents moved to Luxembourg when young Danel was just five years old and that's why he now plays his international football as a Luxembourger.
He is on loan from Norwich, who will be back in the Championship next season. Would you like him back as a permanent signing next season, if the Canaries don't fancy him?
Talking of Norwich. Do you remember this brilliant performance against the Canaries on this date in 2017 on our way to promotion? Second half goals from Elias Kachunga, Aaron Mooy and Nahki Wells gave us a 3-0 win. Have a look at this....
We had a big win in a doomed battle against relegation in 2003. It was at home to Chesterfield, the second match with Mel Machin in charge after he took over from Mick Wadsworth. We beat the Crooked Spires 4-0 and the goals came from two apiece by Martin Smith and Jon Stead.
The win lifted us from bottom of the table to 22nd, but it didn't help in the end, as we went down. Chesterfield survived though, finishing 20th.
We had a big win back in 1980 for the free scoring team under the leadership of Mick Buxton. It was a 5-0 win at home to our neighbours, Halifax Town, which left us 2nd in the 4th Division table behind leaders Walsall. We had goals that afternoon from Ian Robins and Steve Kindon, who both scored twice, and one from Dave Sutton.
Another question, I've been wondering while I've been doing these. Why do we never get team photos these days?
