Why am i developing an inner confidence about our opportunities this season. I am impressed with the spirit of the team and the leader ship of our manager. So we beat the team at the top at home. What does our manager say after pointing put the disappointment of the second half performance? "I'm delighted with the three points against an in-form team but I set higher standards than that, and the players have set higher standards over the last couple of games." Seems like he to is aiming at ground-breaking. No reason why not. Let remind ourselves of the last 3 games. So we have 7 points in 7 days. We have 7pts from 3 games. We are in promotion form and if lucky, at end of season, it might be enough to take us beyond just the promotion positions. At the end of September, we will have gained further experience of this league and may well get sufficient points to be the team to watch. So we play (present league positions in brackets) Braintree (13) , Wrexham (7), Lincoln (5), Nuneaton(23), Woking (9), southport (15). Let's be honest, on our present run all of these look winnable. The very best in this league, on present form, would fancy their chances. Why can't we think we can? Can we look up after all the disappointment of the last few seasons? We need to start having confidence in our young team and believing that just maybe we might have a team that can grind out results and okay in a way that keeps us all happy. Of course, 18pts would be unexpected and so ground breaking for us especially at this stage of the season. If we get 16pts we will all be laughing and many more will be on the bus and ready to take on this league and get out at first time of asking. Mjhgas is on board. Is Anyone else confident enough to jump on.? Hope so? I'm ready. The bus is ready to pick up passengers. Are you in? Are you on the bus, or still waiting.

So it's 6pts from the last three games. The next three are winnable and so that makes it 15 pts from 6 games. That's potentially automatic promotion form.
At some point our ground breaking bus will be setting off with many targets some that we could only dream about.
I'm getting confident about our form and 3 goals away from home should give us optimism, positivity and hope for a better future.
Are we brave enough to think we could be champions of this league? We should be! Can we be dreamers?
When I was a young lad there was a song from the tv show fame that went like this.
Find out what it means to reach for a dream. Reach for a star, reach for the brightest thing you are, You'll be amazed by what you can be Don't be afraid, reach for a dream.
Let's put fear behind us, aim high and expect better!
End of September, we might have quite a bit to shout, sing talk about.
Never a bad time to bump this thread but right now seem a great time. Aim high!

The most unreliable bus in the land.
I have a taxi booked for May and they don't charge for late cancellations.

I'm in - second away day v Telford - 1/11/14 - we'll be in the top 6 by then.
Forget the bus, train to Birmingham and turn left.

For me: Ground breaking goal - top of the league. May as well not write it off while it's mathematically possible but I'd bet everything I own on it already being too late for this. There can be only one, after all. Stretching goal - reaching the play offs If we can actually get a sustained run of form there's no reason we can't get to the play-offs and win or lose I would consider this a good achievement all considered. Realistic goal - top 10 This is what I predicted coming into this season. We have an almost entirely new team including many ex-part timers, I realize many don't accept the need for teams to "gel" but I do. Add to that this league is physically tough, with lots of games, poor refereeing, poor grounds and we have a smaller budget, I've always believed this year would be one of finding our feet. So for me top 10 would represent a step in the correct direction. Security Goal - not getting relegated Let's not talk about that. - Personally, I love Rich's enthusiasm and I don't want to sh** on the good feeling. I'll come aboard if we're in the top 10 come Christmas. UTG

Rich ... could you reserve a seat for me. Could I be near TT and HTE for sweets and some intelligent conversation, and positioned behind, but in full view of Inee for sheer entertainment. Cheers.

There have been occasions when it's been a bit hot on the ground breaking bus. It's crashed a few times, but right now it has more energy, more enthusiasm and more belief than it ever has. We are in the middle of rebuilding this club of ours and even a bus in this state will be repaired, rebuilt and be ready. This time I think we can all see that the bus will not be crashing, on the contrary, it will be flying! Happy days! I've got the keys and ready for more passengers. There's room for all.

Twenty Four hours ago I was confident that we could carry on our run and the team did not let me down. A good result last night that many on this forum and at the game are happy with. We are on a run of results that could take us to the top of the league. The question is can we stay there?
I have every confidence that we can. By the end of November we might well be in a position that many can get excited about. The time to join a ground breaking bus isn't when we get to the destination. The time to get on is now so you can enjoy the journey.
I know that many more think we might just achieve the ground breaking goal at the end of the season. One of the teams will. Why not us? Are we not worthy? Are we confident to think we can? The players will have more confidence now. I certainly have.
I look forward to more passengers jumping on and this time we might just make it. I'm more confident now than at anytime in the last two seasons.
Thanks for all the confident, motivated and enthused fans who have jumped on. It's going to be one hell of a ride. This time we might just enjoy the journey and the destination.
After Saturday our confidence levels will to stratospheric.
Fun times for all of us.

Professional job. We are clearly back. 1 point from play offs. 5pts from Barnet. Barnet, We are coming after you. At last many more will believe that ground breaking will be possible. Did I say exciting times. It might be more than that. Have a great night gasheads. Enjoy.
