A good game to watch on teletext

"God, that was one dull match. The sort it's better to 'watch' via teletext and think 'a useful point towards staying up', than spend 20 quid to actually sit through the 90 minutes of tedium. Two sides completely clueless in their respective attacking thirds of the pitch. Thankfully the away support was on good form. It helped pass the time."

I hope HHH doesn't mind me nicking his comments from the Ciderspace MOTM voting form but they seem to sum up what appears to have been the general consensus of opinion regarding yesterday's 0-0 draw at Southend. Never mind the quality of the football on show, at this stage of the season it's the results that matter, and it was essential that the Glovers didn't lose at Roots Hall yesterday afternoon. In that sense at least then it was job done.

The result leaves the Glovers in 15th position and on 45 points with 7 games left to play, 5 points clear of the relegation zone. I'd hesitate to call tomorrow lunchtime's televised clash with Leeds United a 'must win' game, or even a 'must not lose' match, nevertheless tomorrow's visitors haven't scored in 4 games and have just fallen out of the automatic promotion places for the first time all season - if ever there's a good time to play them then it must be now. Added to that we're on the telly! Let's hope we really go for it tomorrow and show the watching world what we're capable of. Leeds are evens favourites to win, the draw is priced at 5/2 and a Glovers win at 13/5. With odds like that what else can I do except put my fiver on the home win? Nothing. Running total: +£11.88p.
