Put tits on my uncle, and he'd be my auntie.
Deluded?
What were you predicting before the season started?
Outright was it?
lets do it !
Top work Astute! Just need Robins and co to do their bitVery frustrating that we'd be threatening the automatic spots had we not chucked so many points away.
Long way to go yet......6th and win every bet I have taken on here. 5 points away. BTW what charity are we collecting for?
Carry on playing as we currently are and we won't have any problems reaching the play offs. The amount of chances we create is ridiculous and one of the reasons I don't think the loss of McGoldrick is going to be a huge turning point.
'Carry on playing like this!'
That's it in a nutshell and is one hell of a big, big ask. Even more so when you take into account our home form, which is quite dreadful.

The charity and what I did for it are detailed on the link in my sig.
I'm on my phone so can't see it.
Charity is Mind; a national and local organisation which campaigns for the rights of those with mental health problems as well as providing services and raising awareness.
Still 5 points off the play-offs, but still lots of teams around us with extra game or two to play than us.
12th looking about right as position for us.
Swindon are starting to look very good for back to back promotion at the moment
There last 4 played won 4 16 goals scored 0 conceded
Apparently you can, Swindon are now top scorers and also least goals conceded in the divisionYou can't possibly be an attacking team and keep clean sheets....
Apparently you can, Swindon are now top scorers and also least goals conceded in the division
Hence they now have a goal difference which is pretty much double that of anyone else in the division
Little secret for you. When you attack like we do you leave yourself open. You get more chances than the other team. On averages you will win more than you lose. Or would you prefer to defend when you have the better players?

OFF topic but did anyone else hear that Port Vale are the leading scorers throughout the leagues after their win today ,who'd have thought an MA team could be so prolific.What a smart Coventry bloke that was who bought them and their ground for £1.25 M. with the potential to be in the same league as us next year.
Well that's not what Astute told me earlier, when I suggested we allow teams too many good chances.
Swindon are the league top scorers and have also had 13 clean sheets in the league.
I wish I was as clever as you
So if we hadn't had such a crap start to the season would our GD be better? How many more goals have they scored to ours? How better is their GD to ours since MR sorted things out?
Well Swindon haven't been playing shit opposition every week have they and we haven't played teams at the top every week either, over there 25 games they have played nearly the same teams as us I would guess apart from the last 2 games maybe. Over the whole season they still have conceded less goals than anyone else in the division whilst being top scorersTry the more you attack the more chances you give to your opposition when they go forward.
We have been playing teams near the top lately mainly. Who have Swindon been playing? The better the opposition the more they should put away.
After the Shrewsbury games our GD was -7 and Swindons was +1How better is their GD to ours since MR sorted things out?
Sheffield Utd wasn't a league game, we drew against the mighty Pompy who were beaten 5-0 by Swindon. So we have played the same number of teams above 10th 3Last 7 league games...
Sheff Utd Home 3rd D 1-1
Wallsall home 14th W 5-1
Doncaster Away 2nd W 4-1
Preston Home 15th D 1-1
Stevenage Away 9th W 3-1
MK Dons away 6th W 3-2
Shrewsbury Home 17th L 0-1
4 wins, 2 draws 1 defeat. 14 points.
Swindon
Brentford Home 4th Lost 1-0
Notts County Away 13th lost 1-0
Doncaster Home Draw 2nd 1-1
Oldham Away 19th Won 2-0
Tranmere Home 1st won 5-0
Pompey Home Won 22nd 5-0
Carlisle Home 18th Won 4-0
4 wins, 1 draw 2 defeats 13 points.
We played 4 teams above 10th place in last 7 games. Swindon played 3 above 10th. Our lowest opponents in last 7 games are in 17th. Swindon played 3 teams in last 4 games below 17th place. Yet we got 1 more point than them.
So you only want to mention the last 4 games where 3 of their opponents are in a relegation battle. Shall we take it back a bit further then?
Start of November. CCFC 9 wins 3 draws 3 defeats. Swindon 6 wins 2 draws 3 defeats. We went out the FA Cup to Spurs away 3-0. They went out the FA Cup at home 2-0 to Macclesfield
We are still in the Tinpot Cup. They went out to Oxford.
Oh yes Swindon are miles better than us :laugh:
Sheffield Utd wasn't a league game, we drew against the mighty Pompy who were beaten 5-0 by Swindon. So we have played the same number of teams above 10th 3
You also have forgotten to mention in those 7 games Swindon have played 1st, 2nd and 4th in the league. The best teams we played were 2nd and 6th an 9th. So actually over the last 7 games Swindon have played 3 of the top 5 where as we have played 1
Also the lowest opponents we have played are Portsmouth (22nd) same as Swindon not 17th place.
Get the facts right first
We beat Doncaster away 4-1. They drew with Doncaster 1-1 at home. So your point is?
~So sorry I mistook Sheff Utd Cup win after 1-1 for a league game. So add the Pompey game. That still gives us the same point return so better than Swindon. Shall we add the 5 league games before this then? 4 wins and a defeat for us. 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat for them. They also had 2 cup defeats in with them. We had 3 cup wins at the same time.
They may have a better return in last 4 games, but that was against 19th 1st 22nd and 18th against our 15th 9th 6th and 17th.
Since the end of October we have had better form than them. The facts are there. The only reason they are just above us is the shit start we had. Twist it whatever way you want. They had a good start on us this season.......just as most clubs did. How have we nearly caught them up....and got further in the cups..... if they are so much better than us?
Just above us??
8 points, a game in hand and 7 places above us.
We are the exact same number of points away from Swindon as when Robins joined 8. Only difference is back then we had played the same number of games, now Swindon have a game in handWe beat Doncaster away 4-1. They drew with Doncaster 1-1 at home. So your point is?

So you agree with the rest.......
After 8 games they had won 4 drawn 2 lost 2. After 8 games we had drawn 3 lost 5. 14 points for them 3 for us. They lost to Macclesfield at home in Rd 1 at home 2-0. We went out to Arsenal. They went out in the first round of the paintpot 4-1. We are still in it.
How are they currently doing much better than us?
