Not just my first win of the season but, like buses, three come along at the same time. From last in the league to 3rd. Yes, it's early days but so glad to get off bottom spot. That was the plan and it came good, in fact even better than I had imagined.

I needed the win against Watford and my focus was on that game first and foremost. 2-1. Close but job done. Then away to Chesterfield. I studied Phil's team and put out a lineup that would match his best attempt at a win which would give me a 0-0 but Phil put all his effort into his first home against QPR which left his schoolboys to face Southend. The scoreline was extremely flattering but really helps the goal difference. 6-0 away.

This left the Shield match and my team was equal to the Wycombe best effort and if that lineup turned up it would be close but, again, Southend did not face the best of teams and again the result was flattering. 6-0

14 goals for and just 1 against - if only every session was like this one. :-)
