Topper,
Perhaps you may be correct about Tutonda, been playing full back /wing back and the fans are a bit meh! about him. But Ehmer has been playing well according to Steve Evans and most of the fans. Gillingham may be in lower mid table but that’s a long way from saying that “they look like they may have successive relegations on their CVs”. Ainsworth is playing Hanlan and I’m not sure how many games he’s played but not many but he was recruited to one of the better League 1 teams. That they were all signed to League 1 teams by experienced and successful managers tells me that they are rated. Perhaps a more accurate judgement than some fans on here.
Anyway, I’m glad you agree with my point about us having some good players and thinking that if JB can mould them into a good team, better, more consistent performances
will follow. And Thomas and Nicholson are central to that. We do have several good attacking players even if we perhaps lack an out and out striker, and moulding those players into a team could make us a very good team.
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!! It would help if you just pressed the Quote button Steve when replying to posts, because often your reply appears after numerous other posts inbetween. I do agree with your view that if we win lots of games we might do well, and if we lose lots of games we might not. |

10 more games for Barton 😂😂😂 Laughable. We will see. We need a lot more positivity to get us through this. I feel that a ground breaking run might just be on the cards. Players are returning and may well be hitting form at just the right time. You might well be laughing with joy in your heart, my friend. The bus is ready. |

I just don’t get the whole “give Barton 10 games” after he’s had 30. He gets his 10 and now he needs 10 more |

No point in getting carried away after beating a very poor Carlisle side!

Starting to get quite funny how we lose one game and it’s the end of the world, but then win the next and HMS water the league is resurrected for the 38th time.

What a great laugh would be 🤣 Classic negative needling post criticising others without offering an opinion from the usual suspect. At least if those posters went for a drink together they’d have something to discuss! You’d be sat in a pub on your own passing out thinly veiled criticisms of people at other tables! |

if we win its against a poor side, if we lose its against a poor side that we should beat.
conclusion = all sides are poor, we dont have any "good wins" so unless we win every game, which remember wont be classed as good then each week will be a disaster.
have i got that right?
Carlisle will finish in the top half, eventually we'll look back on this as a good win one day. Matter of time before Swindle drop like a stone

Matter of time before Swindle drop like a stone Our last two wins have come against teams 19th and 22nd in the table. Our last two defeats against teams 3rd and 6th in the table. If we beat someone in the top half, I’d class that as a good win. In truth there are no bad wins though. Carlisle may well finish in the top half and Swindon may well drop like a stone but I think recent form is more pertinent than final position considering the League finishes in May and we’re in October. |

If we beat Salford, it would just be classed as a win against a poor team but beating Sutton is a scalp? lets rejoice in each win and gives thanks to God for hearing Joeys prayers - Hallelujah |

I don’t think there are any scalps in this division but if we beat an in form Sutton side it would subjectively be a better win at the time than beating an out of form Salford side yes. I mean let’s be real beating Harrogate is more of feat than beating us at the minute isn’t it? |

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 is quite a tough set of fixtures.
Bradford (A) Haven't lost at home all season. Colchester (A) Haven't won at home but we've only won 1 away in 10 months. Newport (H) Localish derby. Difficult to predict. Harrogate (A) They're flying at the moment & haven't lost at home. Northampton (H) Decent on the road. Tranmere (H) Tough to beat. Don't concede many goals. Salford (A) Pretty good home record & will probably pick up form soon. Forest Green (A) Current L2 leaders. Port Vale (H) Looking good under DC. Currently 4th.
Rochdale (H) A side that will probably finish mid table, probably top half.
I think we'll lose to Bradford, Harrogate, Salford, Forest Green, and Port Vale.
If we can win the other games 15 points would be a decent return from the 10 matches. However, we'll probably draw or lose at least 1 of the more winnable games so I see achieving 10-13 points from those fixtures.
If we get a positive result at Bradford I'll feel a lot more optimistic.

No point in getting carried away after beating a very poor Carlisle side! David, You may as well say that whenever we win and a lot of belters on here do. I can remember lots of games where we have lost to very poor sides both home and away. So many things make a game difficult or easy and very often these "poor teams" are capable of beating the top teams but what is a top team? I expect last season many were describing Bolton as a poor team when they beat them in early season. Since we beat Walsall they have drawn with Exeter and beat Salford City so they can't be that poor. The League table in October means very little and that is because generally there is little to choose between the teams in points as is shown by us only being four points off a play off place. Teams can be very good but affected by a poor run of results, star players not fully fit or injured, bad refereeing decisions at important times. Its three points saturday and thats all that matters. Of course people just as easily get "carried away" when we lose a game no matter whether the opposition are good or poor. I can also remember many wins against top teams in the past where despite them being top people then say they played poorly!! Its a funny old game. |

I'm staying positive on the next 10, we have two players (Thomas and Nico) who would walk into any team who are back in contention. Containing one is difficult enough but man marking both will affect any team, they will make a massive difference.
Bradford (A) Haven't lost at home all season I would take a draw, very difficult place to go but if it doesnt go well for them they crumble - get ontop early is the only way.
Colchester (A) Haven't won at home but we've only won 1 away in 10 months. - They have players older than ours could be a tight battle
Newport (H) Localish derby. Difficult to predict. I think we win this
Harrogate (A) They're flying at the moment & haven't lost at home. Small club, will fall away soon especially when they pick up a few injuries
Northampton (H) Decent on the road. Hate this club never feel confident
Tranmere (H) Tough to beat. Don't concede many goals. Win long and difficult trip for them.
Salford (A) Pretty good home record & will probably pick up form soon. Wrap up Hendo (who is ancient) and we'll win this.
Forest Green (A) Current L2 leaders. This will be tight
Port Vale (H) Looking good under DC. Currently 4th. Probably lose.
Rochdale (H) A side that will probably finish mid table, probably top half. forgettable fixture
win 4 draw 3 lose 3 - 15 points
