After spending the last five days bed-ridden, courtesy of an ailment that might need treatment before it gets cured, I’m back at the helm.
Last night I was hoping that the Hatters would provide me with a pick-me-up, of course I was hoping for a win, but I’ll not turn my nose up at an away draw that further extended our unbeaten run and, according to the gaffer, secured us a place I the play-offs for a second consecutive season.
Let’s hope we can make a better fist of it this time around.
Naturally, social media is awash with postings relating to our magnificent achievement.
2nd year running getting a ticket for the play off lottery – but i feel we’ve got a better ticket this year 🤙

Indeed, I also believe we have, we’ve also less injuries, a better manager and a stronger, in general, squad.
Imagine a fan-owned club making it to PL!!🤩 I read somewhere you guys were in 5th division (National League) back in 2013! It would be awesome if you guys gain that 3rd promotion spot! Imagine going from Non-league to Premier League in just 9 yrs!! Would be a monumental featl!🤩

Not sure if all the above is 100% correct but the gist of it isn’t far wrong and it certainly would be a monumental feat.
Good luck Hatters- grew up getting Panini stickers of Ricky Hill, Kingsley Black and Brian Stein & seeing @nickowentv on Midlands Today. A true blueprint of how a team can bounce back.

A bounce back that took time to get started but has been a remarkable journey.
However, is it all as it seems?
I’m not the only one who thinks the job isn’t quite over:
Confused. We lose next 3 West Brom win next 4 and fair chance better goal diff? Surely 1 point more reqd!? 🤔🤔

Blackburn and wba in theory can over take us but Millwall can’t. Also our goal difference is 8 better than wba….hope you feel better soon MH. .
thanks Alan at least i’ve managed to get out of bed this morning
Millwall can’t catch us, so doesn’t matter what West Brom or Chinese entry do. We are in the play offs!!!
Haha, predictive text…..Coventry
Coventry?????
Glad you are feeling a bit better, shame about not getting automatic promotion but still in the playoffs its brill as long as we don’t get Millwall I will be happy. Coyh
My ageing eyes. I thought Coventry (Chinese entry) had only played 42 games!
We are in the play offs.
Only West Brom, Blackburn and Boro could overtake us if we lost our remaining games, which we won’t.
Exactly, some need to get the calculators out….. lol….
True, it isn’t mathmatically impossible for W. Brom and Blackburn to overtake us. Both need to win their remaining 4 matches. And we would have to lose our three next. All highly unlikely. But I’m saving the Veuve Cliqout for actually winning promotion.
Glad you’re on the road to recovery MH. The only thing I worry about is scoring when we are so much on control of the game. The traffic was only one way in the first half last night and we couldn’t score. Having said that, what a fantastic season we’ve had. I can see us meeting Boro in the final. What a dream to be in with he PL next season after our journey from the NL. COYH
