If I remember, at the start of the season the majority on here agreed that our route to staying up is to take points from the teams in the bottom half of the division, with the occasional win/draw against top half teams. Looking at the table as it stands today we have played 3 teams in the...

I can see a surprise win coming our way. Watford won't have a clue what formation we will play.

Brilliant tackle by Walker on Pearce for our 3rd goal.

With all those games in 8/9 weeks tiredness / fitness / injuries could play a major part.

Gibbo would have been a great player but was always injured later in his career with us (or down the pub, him and Ernie Hannigan)

That explains why he went, I always thought he would make a good coach to teach the younger players the darker side of the game. That can make a big difference. I'm trying to remember the name of the guy that joined us on loan on the Jan window a couple of years ago. He didn't hardly play but...

That's not a bad idea. There was talk of Doyle maybe getting onto our coaching team when he retired, prior to him leaving us.

My memory might be playing old age tricks, but IMO some of the best football we have played was in that season. Cantwell took us into Europe winning 10 away games. We avoided relegation the previous season, seeing Leicester go down in the process.

There have been a few questions about where Walker fits into our team, can he play alongside Godden? is he back-up for Godden? etc. The lad has just turned 24 and is here for a minimum of 3 years unless we cash in on him. Whether he plays much this season or not, he is a proven goalscorer at L1...

To be fair, we were asking in previous posts, where the quality cover for Godden was coming from. New Player Incoming - Leo Ostigard post no. 77 onwards.

I know a lot of people don't rate Max, and lets face it, his career goals tally isn't exactly inspiring, but you have to admire his bounce back ability. A few weeks ago he was effectively in the bomb squad, and yet here he is again in the team making a significant contribution to beating top of...

The big thing for me tonight is the team's heads haven't gone down following recent results. We are going to lose a lot of games, but if we can bounce back like tonight, that is going to be one of our biggest assets.

We could be if Derby were playing

You might have something there. Can't we persuade Tony Mowbray to buy Kastaneer if he cares so much about us? (in Jan obviously)

Yes I understand that, but we can obviously only go for players who haven't got a club, until January. By definition those players are not in demand. If we decide we need someone for a few months that can offer us the experience we need, I don't see any reason why we should expect other clubs...

This reminds me of our first season in the old League 1. We were in a similar position experience wise, and then we signed Maurice Setters. We didn't get relegated!

I wonder how many clubs there are out there thinking, if Coventry bid, we'll outbid them

I think they are nailed on for bottom spot, but you never know.

Wycombe are an interesting example of the gulf between the Championship and L1. To some extent they were in a false position in L1 and were lucky to get into the playoffs. But they had a formula in the first part of last season that worked, And they won the playoffs against 2 good teams who were...

What I meant was, we were competitive enough in 4 of those games to have won, obviously we won't win every game where we play well enough to win, and we probably won't lose every game where we are outplayed.
