Looking at our fixtures I believe the next ten games will define our season. If we are in the bottom 6 at the end of this period then I think we will struggle into mid table by seasons end however if we are within a couple of points of top ten then I feel we will have quite a good season and could get Play offs or better. Next ten games- Bradford A, Colchester A, Newport H, Harrogate A, Northampton H, Tranmere H, Salford City A, Forest Green A, Port Vale H, Rochdale H.

That's as daft as saying if we win the next ten games we will be in or around the play off positions, or better. Of course.

Well Steve you are correct. I think the next 10 games will define our season but I guess you could say that about any set of ten. That this set of ten will correspond with JBs two court cases probably mean that they are more important perhaps. Some games against clubs who should be doing better, Bradford, Salford and some against clubs who are doing well, Harrogate, Tranmere, FGR and Port Vale. And the rest against teams who are middle of the table. But it could all change by the time we play them because this league is very, very close and fortunes change. I hope JB will stay with his back 4 and that he can somehow mould Thomas, Nicholson, Collins and Anderson into an attacking force esp with Finley to come back in.. Do that and we should be looking upwards. I’d say you’re right about what may happen after them in your prediction but the court cases also throw a shadow in either way. JB, if found guilty will go according to WAQ. If innocent he’ll remain and it’s hard to know what impact that might have. But the more you look at it the more I think you’re right about this set of 10. At the start of December we should know. The most important match is the next one, get a decent result at Bradford and it will boost everyone. Looking at them I’d say they were all winnable but knowing us over the past 2 years I also know they are losable as well. Sadly.
UTG!

Not daft at all oldie. The next ten games are IMO a really tough period of the season with those fixtures and IMO will be the difference between a season of fighting relegation and chasing promotion. If we won those ten games I would suggest that we would have a good chance of being Champions!!

We're only 4 points away from playoffs now, so yes, next 10 games could either see us going up or going down.

I would suggest that if those players are not an attacking force, then they are either not giving 100% or are carrying injuries. The difference in play yesterday after the substitutions was very noticeable, albeit against poor opposition.

The next two, or even the next one, is equally important as we can't afford to take another two steps backwards and lose heavily away from home again. We also need something out of those two away games as Newport at home won't be an easy game if we go down into following two poor away games.

On current form book anything over 15 points from those 10 would be good, imho.

Steve's post reads like classic JB gaslighting rhetoric.

Im not so sure the next 10 games will define our season. It may go along way to helping if we want to go up but its not the end of the world if we are not in the top half. Remember 2007 when we walked out the Millennium Stadium after losing to Donny,most thought that was the end of the season. Bolton last season were near the bottom at Christmas and went straight up. If we can win 5 of our next 10 that would be good enough for me there is time to strengthen in a couple areas in January as in my opinion that's all we need to be a decent side.

Reactions from fans will fluctuate wildly from one game to the next is all that can be guaranteed! If Rovers win 5 or more of those games they will have done well. The key will be changing the defeats into draws.
There isnt much between most teams with the exception of Scunthorpe it seems.
Swindle in 3rd have won one more game than Rovers. The game at the mem , they also played the worst team in the league as their first game (away) scunny. So its early days and teams will fall and rise no doubt.

The difference in play yesterday after the substitutions was very noticeable, albeit against poor opposition. Yes, I think they do need moulding into an attacking force. Even last season we had players who came with good reputations. Ehmer, even Tutonda, Hanlan, Ayunga, Williams all seem to be playing well in League 1. With the exception of Ayunga who’s been injured and has made several sub appearances for Morecambe they have all settled well into their teams and are playing regularly. With us, none of the managers we had were able to mould a team out of these individual talents. My point is that last season and this season I think we have had the players to have performed far better than we have seen as a team. Some players have performed, last season and this season so far, below what we might have expected them to have performed and no manager has managed to get them moulded into a team that can turn in good performances consistently. That is what I meant when I said these (decent players imo) players need to be moulded into a team. The idea of whether they are not “giving 100% or are carrying injuries” may be true but I certainly can’t judge that. But I’m pretty sure our players need moulding into a team. And so far over nearly two years 3 managers have failed to do that. Had any of those 3 managers managed to do that we’d still be in League 1 and not struggling for consistency near the bottom of League 2. You of course may disagree. UTG!

Anybody can beat anybody in this league, need to stick to 442 and stay solid, get the flair players up to speed and reevaluate where we are after 20 games.
Be nice to get another striker in in January, but we failed last year and we all know what happened.
Still nice to leave yesterday after a win UTG.

Ehmer and Tutonda look like they may have successive relegations on their CV's and Hanlan has scored just one league goal this season, and that was yesterday against Gillingham. Whilst they all maybe playing regular but they are hardly doing any better than they did for us last season, so not sure where you get the idea from that they are playing well. I agree with the view though that we need to mould a good team rather than just have 1 or 2 good individuals, but JB can hardly have been helped by losing so many players to injury this season.

Talking about Tutonda speaking to a Gills fan yesterday he said a awful signing and many other fans said the same He really looked like a player that with a little coaching could go on to greater things. He had pace and a good touch . Will be a waste if he doesnt fulfill his potential.
