Two good finishes out of three - one was a tap in - is very good going at this level. Notice the similarity in two of his goals this season - Yeovil and Swindon (I think), and not just the quality of the strike

When he switched Bayliss into the middle, the team sheet caught this place by surprise. It was not expected he would drop Kelly, whom he has been very loyal to. That game - whether it was Bayliss or not - was the catalyst. One up for Robbins for uncharacteristic ambition

Can't see why

Agree about BIamou - noting that he is a professional footballer and should be able to do it on almost every occasion - he was running in at speed, on a tricky surface with a lot at stake., and took the high risk option of a half volley

Makes it harder - one fewer games to overhaul Wycombe. Need them to slump, and they may yet might do that, they weren't very good yesterday either it seems

Newport's recent form ropey - they have slipped back. I had it as a draw as well, but the most winnable one, and I suspect we need 6-2 for the autos, not my 5-3.. The killer, Oti's insistence notwithstanding, was Notts County's failure to beat Wycombe. We now have 7 rather than 8 games to close...

I venture it was not a "good point". Admittedly, It was one of my draws in a 5-3 split for the last 8 games, but was the one I thought we had most chance of winning. The crucial gap with Wycombe - the thing that really matters most - remains 6 points as they drew when we need them to lose. The...

Can you have a defensive mid fielder who by common consent does not tackle?

Personally (as stated before) our main thing is that Wycombe drop points, as they are the only team excluding Stanley & luton of course) who are out of reach right now. Notts have a tough run in so even if they win, they are likely to drop. A Lincoln win would be handy

every game is must win. If we do Crewe we can do Newport. Chances may be few, so McNumpty has to be on form. Brain 1-1, heart 0-2 to us

Doesn't current form depend a lot on the rub of the fixture list - when the sample is only 4-6 games. I think the recent form table suffers from this. Crewe were quite high, but do not seem that good (Bowery apart). Could just have been their fixtures. Accrington would be lucky to maintain...

Last game before the first attempt at all-seater some time in the 80's - against Middlesbrough iirc. Gillespie score the only goal - got absolutely pissed on

The sale of Bayliss could pay for the 2/3 new midfielders we will need if promoted. Shipley and Vincenti will ok as become squad members but not regular first team; Andreu, I assume, will drop into the Bayliss slot, and Kelly takes over possibly from Doyle, who retires. We will also need a new...

Shouts 1-1 - they are good at home, and have just lost there iirc so not likely twice to do so. They are the kind of rough tough side we have struggled against. But they have also just slipped away from the play offs so may not be quite up for it Unfortunately we are at the stage where there is...

That's interesting and would bugger up my calculations

1966-67 2nd Div promotion side went 25 without defeat, featuring the man to your left in a starring role (I saw the last defeat at home against Crystal Palace, and the first win of nthe run - against Cardiff - Gibbo got 2 )

Paints the away win at Crewe in a better light

Carlisle worth a punt at 50/1 - Mansfield and Swindon stumble, Lincoln have a hard run in.

13 points from 8 games?
