A Point Gained

Sassuolo 0 - 0 Venezia

A vital away point to the league leaders halted their run of wins and our run of away defeats, and, coupled with Monza losing 2-0 at Novara, sees us climb to joint second in the table.

By all accounts it was a bit nervy, but even the Sassuolo manager admitted the draw was the fair result. The only negative was that we continued our recent trend of having a man sent off, Melucci this time for two bookable offences. Scantamburlo was also injured, which means we will have to do without either of them for the big game against Lucchese on Sunday.

It sounds like the players are still giving their all, and hopefully come Sunday, the Ultras will as well - there have been mutterings that the curva will be fuller than it was last game, but no solution to the division has yet been found. Let's hope they keep working on it until kick off so that the players can play in front of a packed curva and receive the support that they deserve. A victory against Lucchese would be a big boost in terms of gaining a playoff spot, and depending on what Sassuolo do, could even push us closer to the top of the league.
