Last year, Luton were like Mansfield as they drew 17, and only lost 9 games all season (least in the league). They draw too many games and at the end of the day, you’re losing points if you’re drawing. We’ve also won 2 more games than Mansfield - they also have to play Accrington and Luton...

It’s all relative mate. Considering in the last 5 we’ve played Wycombe, Luton and Mansfield, then Barnet and Crewe - 3 wins and 2 draws is very credible. We’re worrying about too many variables. The bottom line is, we have to keep winning to cement a playoff spot anyway, but in the meantime, we...

Well, in the screenshotted tweet you suggested Bayliss should’ve been ‘turfed off somewhere else’. That’s already 2 times you’re utterly and totally wrong. So many football fans are egotists who insist they’re 90% correct of time are usually the ones who aren’t. Try your hand at coaching or...

David Bell’s 40-yarder v Doncaster was a pretty unique goal for me. Back when there were hopes he’d make a decent signing. Scott Dann’s headed goal from Gunnarsson’s long throw right at the death against Newcastle in the cup was pretty special too. But, my all-time favourites will be Mifsud’s...

Exactly, they have a slightly harder run-in, Notts County and Lincoln away, Accrington at home. But, that’s offset by playing the likes of; Yeovil, Grimsby, Chesterfield, Stevenage, Port Vale and Crawley. My optimism is based on the fact we’re playing 4 of those teams Wycombe are, we also have...

If I was a betting man, I’d say Wycombe are the favourites for that last automatic spot. They’re level on points with Notts with a game in hand and they play them next week. They can pull away by 6pts very quickly. For Wycombe v Notts County, the best case is a draw, worst case is a Wycombe...

Looking at our other fixtures, home and away, I’d definitely take a draw v Notts County, and probably a draw at Newport. The optimist in me is hoping Newport’s standards drop now they’re safe from relegation, but too far adrift from playoff contention. We’ve also got to be determined to avenge...

I’m Perhaps I’m being pedantic with your wording, but as far as I see it, Biamou was a decent 2nd choice option to Williams (on paper). He had a decent record in the league below, Robins liked his ‘raw attributes’ and was identified as a player that could be developed by TW and Robins. He was...

I disagree. We could’ve signed Williams from Doncaster had they not changed their mind and kept him. We signed Beavon up to a new contract and when we signed Biamou, Robins went out of his way to say ‘he’s a development player’ in a similar vain to how Hyam was signed. Beavon has fell out of...

The referee’s union must be very vindictive if we’ve managed to get relegated to League 2!

I don't think you can be so sure that is the case. Firstly, JCH has only made 9 appearances, and made his first start v Brighton and the games the JCH and McNulty axis has played in hasn't exactly been easy; Brighton, Mansfield and Wycombe all away and Luton too. From what I've seen, I think JCH...

With Jones alone, I think we’d be in a far better place. He’s the difference between playoffs and automatics, missing out on playoffs and getting playoffs. Lincoln’s manager called him the best in the league, and I don’t think he’s too far off! Ridiculously, he’s still been involved in 25% of...

Precisely. Our main problem in L1 was our player turnover, every season was a rebuild job. There are numerous factors at play, budget cuts under Pressley, but I also think Mowbray relied too much on loanees in his tenure. Which isn’t a good blueprint for long term success. In L2, even if we fail...

Considering no one wanted to pay 500k for him when his contract was up this summer, and now we’ve extended his contract and he’s established himself as our best CB... the chances of him leaving are pretty close to nil I think, barring a silly money offer.

If we’re in L2 next season, Jones is easily worth £1.5-2m to us. As you say, we hold all the cards so we really shouldn’t sell him.

I think he got a pretty serious long term injury and fell down the pecking order. That’s football. He’s only been limited to substitute appearances this term for Rotherham. I really think he and McNulty makes 4-4-2 a really good option for us formation wise even when the likes of Andreu and...

I think with so many teams vying for 3rd, and so many teams in the top 8 left to play one another, I can feasibly see it being an unusually low threshold for 3rd. For 85pts, that depends on any of Wycombe, Mansfield and Notts County picking up 19-22 points from their remaining games - when all...

If we win our next 3, we will either be level on points or ahead of them I suspect. It’s a game I’d take a draw in and a win would be a huge bonus. Obviously, a loss would be bad, but that alone wouldn’t take us out of the mix necessarily as they have one less game to play - and half their games...

Not necessarily, have you seen how difficult their run in is? They got to play; Wycombe, Stanley, us consecutively and end their season at home to Luton.

My mistake, I shall correct it! 5pts is nothing to catch up on. We have 9 games left; 5 are in the lower half of the table, Grimsby look in trouble, Yeovil, Morecambe, Stevenage and Cheltenham could be all but safe before we play them. Also, Newport and Crawley look like they’ve left it too...
