We’ve had a tough run. Things will turn around soon. Kiss goodbye to any playoff ambitions though.

Put Ward, Finley, Wilson, Friend back into that team and we win today comfortably. Mixture of tiredness and injuries, we definitely need to freshen up the squad. Good job it was only Blackpool we played today (who are probably one of the worse teams we'll play at home all season, they just don't travel). Think any team in our league or league below would of beaten us today. It really looked like a team just thrown together.

With the depleted squad, all the crocks, one player scoring all the goals it seems, I think 16th will be a decent position.

Well the bookies had Rovers to finish 16th, I guess just about right!

I'm sure we'll get our act together but the season will be gone. I still think we'll finish top 10.

I would be delighted with 12th or above. Good building block for next season

Exactly where we finish is now less important than how we finish. Historically under multiple managers we've always started the league slowly and even in successful seasons we're chasing rather than leading, so hopefully we can build towards a better start to next season on and off the pitch.
Therefore I hope MT and the players will be focusing on clean sheets towards the end of the season. We've had no problem scoring no matter what players start and what tactics we use - what's causing us problems match after match is conceding.

We play this Tuesday then finally have a week off before playing the following Tuesday. |

All depends on what happens in this window...and then who is injured or not.
As it stands 14th to 11th most likely.
With injury luck and good signings ,maybe we can hit 9th to 11th.
Which whilst not exactly exciting will still be one of our best seasons (place in pyramid wise) since first relegated from league one.

In this league, a run of victories can easily raise hopes. We are one of the league one form teams.
We have a game in hand on some of the clubs in front of us. Let’s say we win the game in hand. We would only be 5pts from 7th place. This looks like a target worth aiming for.
Three extra points and we would be in the play off positions.
If we can aim at 7th place over the next few weeks it would be a good finish. Winning our mid table league would be a turnaround. A solid finish that would drive so much expectation for next season.
There is something to fight for.
Nearing the end of the season we might see us, in the unlikely position, with two games to go and be in a position where victories could see us in the play offs. Clearly very Unlikely, but look at fixtures ahead.
If we beat Derby next weekend the league table will show us what might be possible. With players returning we might still surprise. The squad know we can beat the best.
Is this a run to remember? 🤞🤞

It’s our results versus the dross of the division (especially at home) that we struggle with and has left us too far away from the top six. |

The squad know we can beat the best. Is this a run to remember? 🤞🤞 That's stretching it a bit. Our form across the last 5 games (W3 D0 L2) is identical to Leyton Orient in 9th and Blackpool in 8th. It's worse than Lincoln in 10th (W3 D2 L0). That's why we've actually dropped one place to 11th in the last five games. But I agree there is still a lot to play for and unlike some on here (and on social media) I've spent the last couple of months looking up the table to see how high we can finish, not looking over our shoulder at the teams below us. |

Not long ago several on here were openly worrying about relegation and wondering where the required 50 pts was coming from.
Good to see we are almost there. Be good to smash through it Saturday and enjoy the last 10 games and hopefully a top 10 and a mid 60pt finish to take into the summer (partial) rebuild

Top 10 will be decent, need some pace up front in the summer, need strong finish to inspire owners to invest to give it a good go next year.
Can see Luke McCormick flourishing under Matt too with a good pre season.
