    Hope... Probably more false hope...

    Its not so much how many more we can lose but how many points we need. Most years 75 pts will get you in the frame to sneak 6th but there have been years when 80 has been needed. Lets be optimistic and say we need 2 points per game until the end of the season. 33 games left = 66 points + 11 = 77...

    Can't help thinking...........

    If the melting pot is the high octane battle for 13th, then yes, you are probably right

    Can't help thinking...........

    Based on first 10 games 6th place had 18 points so thats 1.8 points per game for top six. If we win seven in a row will give us 21 + 11 = 32 pts total and 6th place target would in theory be 31 pts. We've just got to win 7 in a row to catch up, which when you consider we've only won 2 (only...

    Can't help thinking...........

    My opinion is that we will pull away from the relegation zone but you wont see out name in the top half of the table this season and probably not next season either unless we get better players than we currently have and keep McGoldrick. Robins is doing okay in my book, he tells it as it is and...

    So who are Arlesey Town?

    Arlesey gave its name to the Arlesey Bomb. Anyone who fishes will know what I'm on about. Don't know anything about the footy team but I hope this tie doesn't blow up in our faces if you'll excuse the terrible pun.

    First 13 league games comparison with last season

    Of course most transfers are frees at this level but I'm saying to make the difference you need to also buy a few key players. For example the teams to have paid for the most players this season are Crawley, Stevenage and Sheff Utd who have all forked out for 3 players each. Lets check the...

    Centre halfs

    You've got to laugh. I'm watching Wood and Cameron, two piss poor players that make me look good and people are having a pop at Busquets. If he played for us they'd be building a statue of him by the end of the first season.

    First 13 league games comparison with last season

    I hope I'm wrong to but you can't make poor players good and when you're reliant on loans and frees its hard to get the players you really want and have to make do and mend. You can see the quality of player out there as they are in our squad now. Don't expect next seasons frees and loans to...

    Alex Nimely !!!

    Unfortunately, I think its the rest of the team that don't suit Robins style of play. He wants players to play with pace, take the difficult option rather than the easy sideways pass and get in behind teams.

    First 13 league games comparison with last season

    Its not great is it but we will improve enough to break the symmetry and not finish like last season I am sure. However, those thinking that Robins will turn this around to mount a challenge for next season are dreaming. You're asking a lot to expect him or anyone to build a winning side on free...

    Lee Hughes is AT the Ricoh

    Yes within the law everything is hunky dory but this is about morality and rubbing peoples faces in it. I mean clubs make agreements not to play players that has just transferred and all sorts. Its not asking much to leave a guy out who isn't playing much anyway with the history attached...

    Lee Hughes is AT the Ricoh

    Notts County showed a complete lack of empathy and morality today and I don't think a club with more bollocks than ours would have let this pass today. I for one am disappointed and angry that the club allowed it happen without a word. I'd compare it to giving the Chief of South Yorks Police...

    Coventry vs Notts County Match Thread

    Same old shit. Can't pass, can't defend, need too many chances before we take one. Play offs, please don't anyone ever mention it again. There is no chance in hell. I fear more against Brentford on Tuesday.

    Six teams on 13 Points

    Are you sure about 3 defeats? Can't pass, poor defensively, need 100 shots to score a goal. Can't see us getting past Brentford on Tuesday and then we'll have one more defeat to go (in some alternate reality). We can't even catch up with same number of points as games played so all this talk of...

    The first 10 games - a statistical analysis

    So to summarize we are crap at attacking and crap at defending. Lets hope the next one is a bit better then.

    Six teams on 13 Points

    Well the way this season is going its looking closer to 80 pts to get in the top 6 so that's another 70 pts please. 20 pts from every 10 games till the end of the season and we may just catch up. Its possible but I haven't seen anything like that sort of form from this team yet and chucking...

    Six teams on 13 Points

    Unfortunately it will take a massive run of wins and draws to get in the mix. If you think the teams in the play off positions are averaging nearly 2 points per game, if we win 10 in a row (not a chance in hell) we would get to about 40 points which would get us to about 6th or 7th. The gap is...

    It is nice to believe that there are players in our squad that Forest might want but lets get real for a minute. It is clear that McGoldrick is head and shoulders above anyone in our squad by a long, long way. Why then would Forest give him up in exchange for any amount of our lower quality...

    James Bailey

    I've been pretty impressed so far and had heard a bit about this guy before he came on our radar. He tracks back, breaks up the play and puts his foot in. Its the stuff that every midfield needs but isn't the glamorous stuff that gets the rave reviews. Take him out though and our midfield would...
