February fixtures could be make or break for us regards automatic or play offs
Agree 2 years ago, the fragilities started in January and february truly broke us.
Updated for Stevenage result 1-1
Same points as Portsmouth were at this stage last season as they actually lost to Stevenage 2-1 in their 19th game.
Win your home games - draw your away is the rule...
Do that and we'll finish on 86 points, the last 3 seasons have needed 85 for automatic so there's not much wiggle room for losses!
but we have good away form win wise so if we win home too we can make wriggle room for losses(hopefulyl not needed lol)
Very true... win 1 in 3 away games and win your home is the same outcome i suppose! Anything more than that from your away games gives you room for not winning at home!
Who knows.....
we do clearly. we are both very smart
The Barnsley home game to be precise with Joe Cole just about sealing the win against a team that hadnt won in about twelve and goals were uncommon to.Agree to a point, but the wheels started coming off after November24th.
Updated for Crawley result 1-1.
So we're still in the playoffs and not too far behind Portsmouth still, but seeing as Pompey really picked up in the second half of season we could do with doing the same!
yup thats what we gotta do. in a way it might be a good thing that we have not hit any sort of consistent good form yet. lots of room for improvement.
No top three finish = Failure
No top seven finish = Disastrous
I don't know where we will finish but on the home games I've seen this season (missed 1 home). I expect us to finish lower than our current position . We just don't start the games as though we really want to impose ourselves on the opposition . Games don't seem to start for us until the second half and by then we maybe a goal down and faced with a defensive wall that we haven't got a clue how to brake down . I expect us to finish lower than our current position.
I was thinking 12th after losing to Port Vale, but after we won yesterday I said champions!I'm sure it will all click into place soon, and we emulate the Man City winning streak
It will be a lot less this year. theres 10 teams in it ! at the moment they all taking points off eachother.How do you factor in that with so many clubs in the running - 9 excluding Luton - for 2 places the points requirement may fall? More teams will drop points to fellow contenders. Playing the club that are 10th would usually be seen as a certain win, not this year, it could be Accrington Stanley.
