As an exile restricted to watching highlights on ITV4 when I'm home, I struggle to comment on individual performances and team performances in "real time."
But I can look at statistics.
On the opening day were at home to Barrow. We were favourites to go up, they were favourites to go down. They are in 4th, W4 L1.
Then we faced Stevenage away, 1-0 up until Palmer gave away a penalty and got sent off. They are undefeated in 2nd, W4 D1.
Colchester at home, dominated, won 1-0, they didn't have a shot on target. They are 18th, W1 D1 L3.
Doncaster away, early (unjust?) sending off, lost 2-1. They are undefeated in 5th, W3 D2.
And yesterday, Mansfield away, 1-0 up but copped a 2-1 defeat. They are 8th, won 3 from 3 at home, lost both away games.
