In our constant search to draw a happy face on an otherwise sad, distressed body, we turn to Reason To Be Cheerful No.2873 ahead of the trip to Scunthorpe United. All runs have a start and all runs have an end; not even Forrest Gump continued on his epic jog across the US until the end of his days. No. He decided that he was going home. In a similiar – and at the same time entirely dissimilar – manner, we will not lose the rest of our games this year. We won’t even lose this game. Right?
Different teams, same results – that is Oldham Athletic and Shrewsbury Town summarised in as many words as we can be bothered to mould into something that makes sense. This is a situation that is frustrating, concerning and disappointing. Once in a rut, it is inevitably a difficult position from which to recover. But one little moment of outrageous luck can drag you out and set you back on course. ‘E ‘Oo Dares Rodney.
For us, we resist the urge to make huge changes from Shrewsbury Town – a place where we have a filthy record anyway, so we’re not too fussed about navel-gazing over that one. Only one or two players coming in will suffice – Steve Beleck? Miguel Comminges? Luke Freeman? And then we go at them and give them a right headache. And we don’t let up until the 97th minute of the game. You make your own luck that way. We think. We hope!
