Stevenage Borough 1 Oxford United 0

Well - internet radio was not enough to lift this game, sounded like we lacked enough craft to break them down so the odd penalty was enough for the Borough.

Other results continued to conspire against the Us and we wobbled back into 3rd. Although I have not given up hope completely of a stunning end to the season and securing the Championship on the last day, I have started checking the play off dates.

There are however 7 games to go and 21 points to play for, the pressure is all on Luton and Stevenage to keep winning - we dearly need a win against Hayes & Yeading to get things moving, it feels like I've been saying that for the last 4 or 5 games.

Possible - 94
Target - 87
Form - 83

Northern colleague made the point about a season's worth of performance;

"Frustratingly we've managed promotion form EVERY year in the BSP - but only for half a season: autumn 2006, spring 2008, spring 2009 and autumn 2009. Unfortunately each time the other half has been more-or-less relegation form. Even average form for the weaker half of any of those seasons might have done it."

This is a hard league from which to escape.
