Another mildly disappointing result then, just squeezed in before the pantomime season draws to a close for another year. Three red cards in three games - the old chants of "Dirty Leeds" grow louder week by week. I'm not so down - hearted though as I would've been a year or two ago. Against the undying and huge support we have and many of the other attributes of a first tier club, our performances place us firmly in the Championship where we rightfully belong - for the time being. There was an air of inevitability today given that Milwall hadn't won away all season. Statistics like that seem to floor us. We have good patches and then self combust. Wolves lost to Forest, of course, showing that nothing can be taken for granted, but Wolves will bounce back and learn from it, whilst we carry on much the same, if not a little more damaged, in preparation for the lighting of our own blue touch paper again and poor subsequent poor performance. The Newport legacy may haunt us for some time. Things have been better in parts this season, but I've never thought we were ready for promotion. We've never "dazzled" or properly hung teams out to dry - more of a scraping single goal victory with a higher percentage of possession . The Championship is truly hard, but some top teams are noticeably a cut above the rest - we're not one of them yet. TC appears mildly naive and I wish Monk had remained. I'm expecting a higher mid table finish (if we can regularly field a team that isn't scuppered through suspension) to the season with the stability of TC remaining. If and when we do gain promotion, it has to be on the back of a solid season that we can take with us into the Premiership, not what we're offering in some matches currently.
