The JPT could have massive influence on our season ,if we progress the fan element will transform ,the team will lift themselves from this potential catalyst ,but obviously we have to progress.

Edit; the perfect play-off rehearsal.

Tbf Don, you did say before the Notts County game that you could see us only losing 3 more games between then and the end of the season.....we then lost 2 back-to-back...

Well chaps...I maintain that a good run (6-7 wins) over the next 10 games may well see us back in contention. AND provide the momentum needed to carry us through to a mould-breaking end (remember that "impossible" treble that Manure achieved). I assure you this is more hope than expecetation Grendel...but of our next 10, Portsmouth, MK Dons & Stevenage games are the make or break games. Victories against any of them will be a bonus.

What about 2nd place Crawley and 5th place Doncaster?

No. In my opinion - winable.

I am only jesting. Doncaster have only lost 1 game in the last 10 in the league.

Piece of piss.

3 points in the bag for us straight away.

We have looked brilliant this season. Scoring goals for fun and a defence that's tighter than a duck's arse.

I think we will now win all 31 games that are left without conceding a single goal.

Exactly....see my thoughts on Donny are that they'll pick up a few injuries lose a couple & slump (a bit like we have in the past)

I think I said 4 to 5.

But with a bit of luck maybe as few as three, was it before Notts County or Brentford, I genuinely can't be sure?

Did anyone check the amount of signings made by other teams. Is 14 signings nothing special in league one. On top of what we already had?

Otis you are going to hate me for this but this is the alternative view that my optimism emanates from.

5 of our defeats occured on the bounce after we sacked our manager. I do not think that is a coincidence and that it was off field matters that led to those defeats.

MR has come in and we have then had 4 New players 3 of whom went straight into the first 11. RS has been sacked and a new assistant manager/coach in.

This to me is another period of unsettlement.

Hopefully we are now out of that and we settle down a bit.

I don't really buy into the idea that overnight Andy Thorn became a bad scout and managed to sign 9 players who are not good enough.

Even if that is the case which I find highly unlikely. We have added 5 New players since then. Surely MR can't be bad at identifying players aswell.

So we have signed 14 to supplement what we already had. Which is incredible really in league one terms.

Our strength in depth is highlighted recently by Clarke. He is a good player going through a dip in form. Most league one teams would probably have to stick with him. Yet we can bring in Christie, another exciting full back who would get into a lot of league one teams.

Then Cameron gets injured and we can bring in the edge and we keep a clean sheet.

I can't believe that with the strength and depth of our squad we can't go on a run.

As the season goes on and other teams suffer injuries suspensions loss of form. We will have and advantage as we have that depth.

Aside the 5 defeats in that transition period (i include robin's first game).

When we have had a proper manager. We have drew with Sheff Utd, M K Dons and Swindon.

We have lost 2-1 to Notts county who are no mugs.

We lost to a last minute penalty to Brentford. Who have a fantastic home record and many feel will be up there.

I think if we get a bit of stability now and no more chopping changing and messing around. Surely a squad of this size playing with confidence will be very very hard to beat.
