Looking at the current table and the next 5 games its going to be tough and I cant see much more than 7 points out of those. Not putting teams to bed worries me and the back 3 look ropey. What's everyone's thoughts?

You should try being more positive it's good for the mindset.

Pretty sure we said the same thing after Donny but here we are with 10 from four games...

We’ve played 4 of the top 6 and are only 2 points off the top 6.

I'm certainly not putting a downer on our current run of form but I also thought people would read this as a negative post and this certainly isn't what I'm getting at I just wanted to ask what people think of the next 5 games as they look very challenging

I know what you mean about the defence - Clarke had 2 great chances to score - and we do seem to play poorly when we take the lead, BUT we are now taking the lead in games so that puts the pressure on the opposition.
The team is evolving - there is a lot of talent there - they are only going to get better in my view. Players like Otzumer, Nicholson, Kilgour, Liittle and JML are quality and can't get in the team/injured.
We do need to convert more chances but probably every side says that.

Ipswich had their first tough game on paper today and got done 4-1. I’d be Reasonably happy enough with 7 points from 5 games at any time to be honest because I don’t see us as a big club in this division and I don’t think we’ve got a very top league 1 squad although I think we should be knocking on the door of top 6 now we’ve got Otzumer. 7 points from our next 5 games would see us stay roughly were we are now in the league and I would have taken that at the beginning of the season after 12 games. |

A lot of people wrote us off in the Lincoln away game, we won. We’re on a good run and looking at next 5 fixtures, we’re at home for three of them and two winnable away games at Rochdale and Accrington.
No reason why we can’t keep this patch of good form going.

Perhaps this young side will be better away than at home (more pressure to get a result) ? |

After seeing Ipswich get heavily beaten it just shows anyone in this league can get beaten by anyone else. Accrington beating Fleetwood who’ve made some very good signings on paper. It’s a close League and it’s best to look at how the team plays, not their name. If we got 7 points form the next five that’ll be ok. Keep us in upper mid table which is about right I’d have thought. Play very well and we’ll get more and esp if the defence keeps improving we’ll get more.
UTG!

Our opening fixtures have been odd imo.
3 games against teams earmarked as being promotion contenders, then a run against teams who are expected to struggle (Lincoln aside) so it’s hard imo to evaluate the long term potential at the moment.
Taking into account the first three fixtures and Garner’s win ratio I personally would have demanded 4 wins from the first 10- I don’t think he will get them given Accrington away and Hull at home...but given the improvement recently would I then sack him? As one of his biggest critics I don’t think I would if we only have 3 wins from 10. I’d like to see more games against teams in the play off mix. If we fall too far off the pace and start slipping into a relegation battle then I would be starting to revisit whether Garner is the right man. For now though he has earned time given that he has got an away win now and we finally won without penalties/sendings off. I’m starting to be proved wrong....

We’ll score one more goal than the opposition in three out of five of them...is that optimistic enough?

One of the most annoying posts I’ve seen, I’ve been looking through here the last week or so and it’s been nice to see quite a few actually apologise or acknowledge that they were a bit too quick to judge garner. 3 wins and a draw in our last 4 and the most positive thing you’ve managed is “for now he has earned some time” must be such a burden when your this negative after such positives. After a win you should be positive, not saying you should be bowing to garner, no one should, but I think actually he and the team deserves a lot more respect seeing as they’ve managed to do this whilst a lot of people were righting them off after 270 minutes of football Utg |
