I'm going to be honest here.
It was great we got such resounding win on Sunday against Swindon (7-2), and I was damn relieved we picked up 2 points, but by the gods was I bored.
I really just could not get excited by the game.
The first period was quite slow, as they are wont to be down at Alty, with us being more than unlucky to be a goal down going into the break. After we got into the lead though, it was pretty clear that we were cruising along in 2nd gear, never really pushing, or punishing Swindon as hard as we could.
For sure, their nettie stood on his head to keep it fairly respectable, and got a well deserved MOM award, but there was a spark lacking from the Phoenix which worried me somewhat.
I guess it didn't help that the crowd was flatter than a freshly squashed pancake either. There were a decent number in the building (the club is claiming 1200, I say more like 950-1000 max), and it started off as loud as usual, but thereafter it was just lifeless.
Ho hum.. always Thursday to look forward to. Might have some added bite with the Scims new 275lb pickup from the ENL2. Could be interesting. And whats the betting we get at least one 'Who ate all the pies' chant?
And the club have confirmed the Play-Off tickets. Priced as I announced last week, but the block allocation is now for blocks 7 & 8, giving us 322 tickets as opposed to the leak allocation of 261, and sticks us in the corner and behind the goal.
