3 points, 3 victories, 3rd place...

Pizzighettone 0-1 Venezia

Massimo Taccucci, our right back, gave us all three points yesterday to hand us our third victory in a row and propel us into third place in the league.

A brilliant first half display saw us go in 1-0 up thanks to Taccucci getting to the rebound after Gennari had headed the ball against the bar from a corner in the 40th minute. Moro had the chance to double our lead two minutes later, but his header was off target.

Pizzighettone came at us in the second half, but only created one real chance which Lotti did well to save. At the other end, Taccucci nearly made it two with a spectacular overhead effort that crashed off the bar.

Okay, so Pizzighettone aren't the strongest (they now sit second bottom with 6 points), but it was important to continue our run of victories. Next week brings another away game, and derby, against Cittadella. A victory there and we really will be flying.

Don't do yourselves down, doesn't Sergio Porrini play for Pizzighettone? He did last season anyway.

I love that club name it sounds like loose change you would use to buy a Margherita with. "You got any Pizzighettone on ye Jimmy?" "Naw, I spent them all on a Napoletana..."

A good start to the season and no-one seems to be running away with it so you must be hopeful.

How many teams get promoted at the end of the season?
