So in my previous poll I asked what we thought we’d get.... I predicted 3 wins and a draw out of the 5 games - Burton onwards. We lost the Accrington game to Covid so ended up playing 4 and getting a win, 2 draws and a defeat. Not bad but could be better. Performances were ok - still inconsistent but we’re scoring in open play and for longer patches we do look good and play possession football....
So how do we see November fairing?
I think we’ll see 2 wins, a draw and a defeat in the league (lose to Peterborough, draw against Fleetwood and Win against Swindle and Wigan) along with us winning both cup games (beat Walsall and Chelski U23s).... if we do that would be a great month and a solid continuation of momentum and confidence build.... fair or overly optimistic?

So your forecasting W:4 D:1 L:1, that looks like top 6 form to me when we're really only producing mid table performances/results. Somehow BG's got to find a away for us to score more goals as 1 goal a game isn't going to produce those results. |

True although if we're defensively resolute then a series of 1-0 wins will suffice .... personally I do think we'll score more than 1 in some of those games but i do take your point Topper |

I believe we will get a reasonable return from the next 5 games, certainty if the 2nd half yesterday was anything to go by.
Because of the Covid postponement Tuesdays game will be our tenth. A few weeks back some wanted Ben out, others said give him at least 10 games, have he and his team earned the right for more time and another 10?
It seems to me like every other week we are playing the league leaders, so far in 9 games we have played 6 of the top 8. Compare that to Tuesday’s opponents Peterborough, I think they have played 6 of the bottom 8. It leaves me with a bit of optimism for Tuesday, even though they are top of the league!

Surprised people are tipping us to beat Swindon - they were superb against Hull yesterday who pretty much played us off the park.
I think we'll get 1 win (at most) and can hopefully knick a couple of draws.
As such, I'd be happy with 5 points and utterly delighted with 6+. Won't be at all surprised if it's 3 or 4 though. I actually wouldn't be shocked if it was 2 points (2 draws, 2 defeats).

I think the two cup games will result in two convincing wins, I think our second string which is likely to play these two games will be up for it and want to prove a point that they deserve a starting place. Both 2-0 victories.
The 4 league games are a bit harder to predict, at times I think we look like a team going places and others we look lost and look like we will struggle. Peterborough will probably beat us as they always seem to. Fleetwood I would take a point and I would expect victories against Swindon and Wigan.
Peterborough L 2-0
Walsall W 2-0
Fleetwood D 1-1
Chelsea W 2-0
Swindon W 2-1
Wigan W 3-0
That’s if these games actually get to go ahead with the countries situation again. UTG

Still not convinced by Garnerball. Going back to the October set of 5 fixtures (sans the Accrington match) they were winnable and I'm disappointed we didn't get more from them with 5 from 12 - would have liked to have seen 8. The league table looks healthy but we've played some of the teams we'd expect to get results from and extrapolate that form across a season and you'd be looking at 56 points. Want a good return from the November fixtures to demonstrate Garner is going to return a solid mid table finish and not slip to a relegation battle. That said, some of those fixtures will be bloody difficult, I'd like to see at least 5 from 12 again.
9+ outstanding
6-8 Good
5-6 Ok
3-4 I'd be putting Garner on notice as we'll be looking at a relegation battle.
Less than 3 would be rid of him.

The table is starting to take shape now and with us mid table I think that's a fair reflection. We haven't lost to anybody who is currently below us. Our record against the teams above us is not terrible. W1 D1 L3. All four of those points were won away from home as well.
Based on this my predictions are;
Peterborough: L
Fleetwood: D
Swindon: D
Wigan: D
Only three points, but I feel the games against Swindon and Wigan can go either way and I would like to think we can win one of those (even if we loose the other) to take 4 points.

If you switch the Lincoln and Burton results around then October looks more like the results of a mid table team getting the majority of our points from teams below us. |

Although Posh are top they haven’t hit top form as yet. They scored 3 late goals yesterday and score flattered them vs 10 men.
We generally do well against them at home 0-0? but JCH could be a big -factor for us?
Hope we get that early goal and NOT sit back but go for it. Weather could ensure a close game? Also good use of subs would help for a change. Maybe Little or Kilgour could strengthen the back 3 on the right with a 4th?
As for Fleetwood we have a knack of hitting them where it hurts but they look a tougher proposition this season; Barton seems to have calmed down a bit but a sending off may still be in the pipeline?
It’s going to be a tough month and our defence needs to lockdown and not let anyone in. Keep the opposition at social distance from Jakko.

Little's out injured and Kilgour has looked poor playing Garnerball?
I can see Kilgour only playing in the cup games until he proves himself, assuming he can.

Peterborough L and we know who will get the winner
Fleetwood L I think they will be just too hard for us
Swindon D Their win against Hull will give them some confidence
Wigan D Wigan are not what that good

I would not be surprised at all to see the same return we've had in the league so far this season. So ignoring who the opposition are I'd say 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss and then a roll of the dice for the 4th game. Taking the opposition into account I'd say a loss against Posh (although playing a team who keep it on the floor it could be a good game), a win against Wigan, and a draw against Swindon. Fleetwood is the unknown as I can't say yet predict how our young team will respond to their shithousery.
I think our record so far demonstrates exactly what the first half of the season will be; a young team finding their feet in league 1. We will be inconsistent until Christmas I'd reckon. The word "potential" will be bandied about a lot because that is what we are - a team of players with potential that need to learn to rely on each other to make the next step up to the promised playoff land. The cannier teams that will do well overall this season will blunt our threats. When we come up against the more agricultural teams that can't match our technical ability (which is undoubtedly of a higher standard now), for instance the Northamptons etc, it'll be a test of resolve to impose our "style" on them to be successful.
