Perhaps the 2-0 defeat at Watford a week earlier was the boot up the backside that a struggling team needed. It's certainly come just in time for new manager Matt Bloomfield.
Should take a peek at my lot, Gillingham. Didn't win a match since early December until the Saturday just gone. Back to losing ways again last night. When our American owner came riding in he spoke of "waking the sleeping giant." Here we are, four managers in two years in, still bumbling about where we were when Scally sold up.
Losing to Watford is always a reality-check and often leads to caretaker managers. I was watching the EFL highlights show a few weeks ago and some players were having a fight by the dugout. This is tolerably normal at Vicarage Road and I took little notice. I went to Watford v Port Vale once and cheered when Martin Foyle scored for Burslem's finest. I have bias issues.

Thank you Ian for this. Hopefully Saturdays win is the start of recovery but the end of season is looming up fast........
