After matchday 19 last season... We had just lost a two goal lead at home to Bristol City - a Carl ****inson 30-yarder and a Craig Beattie goal put us two ahead, a Marvin Elliott goal followed by a Mariappa own goal (where Loach let a back-pass roll in) put them level We were in 18th position in the table with 21 points and goal difference of minus 9 - 9 less points than this season. This year, 21 points and the same goal difference would leave us in 19th place, whereas our record this season would have put us 6th at this time last season We were 8 points off the play-offs, 19 off automatic promotion and 21 off 1st place - this year we are 2 points off the play-offs, 7 off automatic promotion and 8 off 1st place, making us 6, 11 and 13 points closer this season to where we want to be Our team consisted of Loach, Hodson, ****inson, Mariappa, Nosworthy, Yeates, Kightly, Buaben, Hogg, Iwelumo and Beattie, with the substitutes Bonham, Mirfin, Eustace, Deeney and Garner - against Sheff Wed tonight, only Yeates and Hogg from that group started and only Hogg, Yeates, ****inson, Bonham and Deeney were in the squad. 8 of the players who started the game last year are now at different clubs, either permanently or on loan
I had totally suppressed the memory of Craig Beattie, thanks alot, thats brought back some horrible memories
