Now off the bottom of the table, Rob Paton believes this could be the start of another great escape for Siena

As the final whistle blew at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Week 23, Siena were down and out. Cut adrift at the foot of the table, the 2-1 reverse to Sampdoria left the Robur nine points away from safety and their tifosi contemplating Serie B football next season.

However, since Nicola Pozzi’s game-clinching goal for Doria on February 7, Alberto Malesani’s men have undergone a mini-revival and yesterday’s victory over Bologna made it six games unbeaten for the Tuscans. More importantly, they are within touching distance of their fellow relegation candidates, four of whom they travel to in the next month.

The season started optimistically for Siena. Despite a defeat to title-challengers Milan, a 3-1 victory at Cagliari signalled the club’s hope for the new campaign, but six defeats from the next eight games saw the once-promising, and Juventus-touted, Marco Giampaolo axed.

Marco Baroni stepped into the breach before Malesani’s arrival in November and although the former Udinese Coach won two of his first three games, another winless streak seemingly confined Siena to lower-League football next term.

Having beaten the drop in the previous six seasons, Siena have become known for making a fight of survival and winning it, often in dramatic fashion, but time was running out.

Yet true to the past, since the Samp defeat the Robur have found their strength. Malesani has gone back to basics, tightening a back-line that had conceded on average two goals a game, with only five shipped in the last six now, and he has instilled belief and spirit in his players.

The hard-fought win over Chievo was the starting block the side has built momentum on, with last week’s sensational three goal comeback at Juventus and yesterday’s 1-0 win at home confirming the team’s best form of the season to date.

Having now beaten the Rossoblu, Livorno and Chievo, Siena can look to their travels for the season-defining fixtures. They meet the rest of their relegation rivals on the road in the coming weeks with a trip to Lazio on Wednesday followed by ties on the horizon at Atalanta, Catania and Udinese.

The reverse fixtures yielded two wins, a draw and a defeat earlier in the season, which combined with arguably tougher run-ins for Lazio, Catania and Atalanta, could be enough to see another last-ditch leap up the League.

With a dangerous final three fixtures seeing the Bianconeri matched up against Palermo, neighbours Fiorentina and then champions Inter on the last day, Malesani will be all too aware of the task that lies ahead and the emphasis put on the upcoming six-pointers, starting at the Stadio Olimpico in midweek.

I still think they are in severe trouble, but if they do stay up a big thanks will be needed to Massimo Maccarone, who has been absolutely superb this season. One of the players of the year in Serie A. Who would have thought it after his early bad career move to Middlesbrough, but he has a shot at future Italy squads.
