Looking Past Swindon (1 Viewer)

[cov_russell]

Looking at the 4 games after Saturday we have:

Sc*nthorpe (A)
Colchester (H)
Hartlepool (H)
Portsmouth (A)

These teams are 19th, 21st, 23rd and 24th respectively.

Any team realistically looking at promotion should see fixtures against teams in these positions after 34 games as very winnable.

Even if the transfer embargo kicks in tomorrow we already have a squad more than capable of securing 4 wins. This would more than likely leave us sitting comfortably in the playoffs with 6 games to go and very few if any teams with games in hand.

Keep the faith ... PUSB!

Problem is, they are the teams we struggle against!

We are 2nd in the 'vs Top Half' table, and 18th in the 'vs Bottom Half' table :facepalm:

Does that mean all our good fortune against bottom half teams is about to come in the next few games?? or is that just my deluded wishful thinking!

As PVA says ,we always struggle against teams we supposedly should beat comfortably.

Also as the season is nearing the end these teams at the bottom seem to fight so much more as they struggle to get out of the relegation zone,or area.I thought Colchester in particular looked very poor first game around, but they beat Yeovil 3-0 Tuesday so again it will be a difficult game for us.

I would rather us be playing mid table teams,who seemingly have little motivation,or to play for, than those at the bottom

I would say even though it looks a very winnable sequence, it will be a lot harder than it would have been a before the new year, and of course two of the games are at home.

i was looking at the table and thinking the same.

these are the games we need to be winning, because after them it is Doncaster, and that will be a tough game. march is going to be a make or break month for city.

Lets forget back room problems, get behind the team no matter who the manager is and support them.

Mid table teams like, say, Crewe?
