    Meltdown

    'Today was a disaster', '15 games to save his job', 'We are gradually getting worse', Throwing the season away', 'Desire, passion and commitment'. Yes, yesterday was a great disappointment, but is it really necessary for this Forum to go into meltdown every time we have a poor result? I can only...

    Midweek games affecting L2 clubs

    Logically we should be hoping for draws in matches between our rivals so that they only share 2 points instead of 3. If that happens tonight, we'll go above Accrington when we beat them by 2 clear goals on Saturday. Well, I can dream .......

    The lack of consistency

    Today's result is all part of what being a Sky Blue fan is all about. Just as we think we're getting it together, we fall apart. Do not despair. It is entirely predictable that we will beat Accrington. At the moment 9 teams are jostling for the 7 places that mean promotion or play-off and I...

    Delusion

    And I take a further slap on the wrist for not calling it the EFL League 2.

    Delusion

    Getting 'back where we belong' is a phrase much beloved of football teams in the lower divisions, as though every team has a right to be in a certain division. Perhaps it would be simpler to put every team where they belong and then scrap promotion and relegation to save all the heartache...

    Delusion

    A number of threads on here recently have led me to believe that many Sky Blue fans suffer from the delusion that we are a Premiership club in temporary exile in League 2. We are a League 2 side trying to get into League 1. Perhaps this is easier for me to accept as we were in the fourth tier...

    Sky Blue song

    Unfortunately I don't know. It's a popular marching tune which I can whistle, hum or even sing. But that's not a lot of help is it? Anyone else know?

    Sky Blue song

    Is it time to revert to the original words of the Sky Blue song - 'Proud Posh or Cobblers' rather than the spurious 'Tottenham or Chelsea' (or whatever) as both Peterborough and Northampton are in the league we aspire to?

    FA Cup VAR

    In the games where VAR technology is used (rugby, cricket, tennis) there are natural breaks to allow for any necessary inspection. The only time this happens in football is when the referee is considering what action to take after they've blown for a foul or when a penalty has been given. At all...

    Another confessions time anyone??

    I went into the Post Office yesterday and there were a stack of leaflets with a sign that said 'please take one' and I took two.

    4 points behind 2nd

    As per my recent posting, 2 points per game from now on yields 83 points and this season that should be enough for automatic promotion. Continuing our current beat rate yields 77 points and that's almost certainly a play-off spot. So just need to up our game a little. PUSB.

    Some numbers

    I expected the regulars to have a bit of fun with the numbers, but I think it's telling us that we need to up our rate to 2 points per game if we want automatic promotion. Last year Portsmouth, Plymouth and Doncaster were way ahead of the rest. 83 points should do it.

    Some numbers

    We have 47 points from 28 games. At that rate we'll end up with 77 points. At 2 points per remaining game we'll end up with 83 points. Last year the teams that won promotion from League 2 scored 85 to 87 points. The play-off teams scored 70 to 77 points; the team winning the play-offs...

    Goalscorer

    We may only have scored 26 goals in all 21 matches this season, but they've come from 13 different players. It would be good to think that this is an alternative approach to the '30 goals a season striker' we crave. You never know where (or when) the next goal is coming from!
