We need to target the 6 pointers, beat the likes of Swindon, Wigan etc...Try and take points from the better teams by defending for our lives, each point being a bonus. No room for expansive football now, we need to be hard to beat. Rochdale was really a bigger/poorer loss than Accrington, as it gifted them 3 pts and so widened the gap. We need to show how now get a result on Tuesday then beat Swindon on Saturday. A 3 match unbeaten run would be nice! |

We somehow have to aim for 50 points which is standard but probably will be less required. That is 26 points from 21 games - say 8 wins which is hard to visualise at the moment as we can't buy a win. The quicker we get a win the easier it will be to visualise!!! [ There’s been plenty of clubs that have been relegated on 50 points in league 1 over the years. Of course There’s no way of knowing if the clubs near the bottom will go on runs or mid table clubs will get dragged down but I wouldn’t put money on 50 being enough with four clubs going down. At times in the last 10 years 51 wasn’t enough. |

Looks like a tough night for us Tuesday, Oxford the team with the best form over the last 6 matches against the side with the worst form, but as Burton proved with their win over Hull City yesterday anything is possible in this league.

We are poor. Our best chance of survival is that four teams are even worse than us.
I've always maintained that games against fellow strugglers are crucial. The defeat to Rochdale was much more influential to our league standing than the subsequent thrashing at Accrington.

Burton also proved 1) it isn't impossible to sign players in the January transfer window 2) signing players in January can lead to an improvement in results. If we end up being relegated this season then it'll be down to poor recruitment this January. |

Perhaps we’re trying to lull our opponents into a false sense of security? |

I’d take that, basically we’re down on a coin toss. Just don’t pick tails, it’s nearly always heads. |
