Anyone remember this game? After the goal glut of September/October our form had tailed off badly following a 3-0 Thumping of QPR at Selhurst infront of the SKY Cameras on Rememberance Sunday,we were 6 games without a win going into this game,Thankfully a late volley from Niel Shipperley which squirmed through the hands of a fishy sounding Clown keeper by the name of Mike Salmon was enough to secure the win & send us into Christmas in good spirits :p
Unfortunately it was to be our only league victory until a winner from Hoppo secured victory in the reverse clash with QPR at Loftus Road on February 1st! This near 3 month midwinter spell of just 1 win put paid to any hopes of keeping up with Bolton in the hunt for automatic promotion,it also no doubt sowed the seeds of Bassetts departure to Nottingham Forest in late February 1997 & Sir Steve's Ultimate return & ultimately playoff success.:lux:
I do wonder though,how things would've panned out with Bassett,if that poor spell didn't happen,we kept pace with Bolton,Bassett stayed & we won automatic promotion??
It's an interesting thought,that Alternative reality,As opposed to what REALLY happened in 97-98!
