You obviously haven't been reading my posts. I have been consistent all season long and have always maintained we will be top three. Not at all on the band wagon.
It's only on the back of the last two defeats where we have been expected to win after having very positive results previously that I have now swayed.
Not at all a band wagon jumper, but we can't have a couple of great wins, plus beat two higher opposition teams and then lose and be second best all game to a team at the bottom of League Two and it's been happening all season. It is simply not acceptable.
Our away form is poor and and our away form at the teams at the bottom has been pathetic.
Sadly, I think we'll fall short this year. Generally speaking, no team that loses more than 13 games goes up automatically. We've lost 10 already, and we're just too inconsistent to think we won't lose at least another 3 games between now and the end of the season. Play-offs is very possible though, buts that a lottery. We just have keep going and if it doesn't happen, learn from our mistakes and go again.
Budget size is irrelevant as you can have the biggest budget and the 24th in terms of spend. The club has a bigger wage expenditure than Accrington Stanley I am sure.
I thought he meant I was the Italian goalie
A glass half empty person then, don’t over excite yourself too much
Yeah, get that, but in 13 games against the top teams Forest Green have won just twice.Otis haven’t you realised yet ....there’s not a lot between these teams in league 2. Apart from probably Luton.
Anyone can beat anyone.
As Port Vale did when they beat Luton 4 nil. And the Chesterfield beat Luton 2 nil.
When we lost to FGR in October. That midweek the top 4 lost to the bottom 4. That wouldn’t happen in any other league.
maybe not the right thread for this, but you do have to ask, what club who have owners who don't care, has been successful ?
At least Blackburn got free chicken out of their demise

Both against us.
I love your sprinkle of realism , sadly lacking for some here full of apathy
its not free, they have paid their price !
Don’t forget to mark the envelope ‘MEDIOCRITY’After much huffing and puffing only 8th , teams above us with games in hand
A rose tinted FA cup run and no team improvement
How can this be tolerated in Division 4 , one up from non league ?
Over inflated squad
No plan b or c
Answers on a post card to some address in Derby please
By the same token, not many teams have beaten Luton at Luton. We have.
We’re just inconsistent and I think injuries have players a big part.
Sacking Robins is nuts. We’re two wins from Automatic Promotion FFS.

So frustrating, because only last Tuesday we were just 1 point off 3rd place and automatic promotion.Like I said before, I don't think it's apathy, it's more a case of trying to look at the positives and not overreacting. But yes, automatic promotion has all but gone. 85 points needed (based on last few seasons) and we're not getting 35 points from 16 games (it's very unlikely). We can make the playoffs though and have to back the team until the end of the season. That's when we take stock and conduct the post mortem. No point making knee-jerk decisions now.
I have to say all those teams you mention , I never will respect . The only team in L1 I give some respect for is Pompey the rest are just cannon fodder
And to nitpick ever so slightly, we are only two wins from automatic promotion if other teams above us lose at the same time.

That makes defeat to a team at the bottom of the division that much more galling.
Too inconsistent.It was a huge defeat really. We'd all convinced ourselves we had a shot at an automatic spot, but it's a long way off now it seems (although it may not seem it, but history tells us we have to average more than 2 points a game from hereon in). Ah well, who knows, it's certainly not impossible. One of the teams in and around the top 7 will do it, just can't see it being us.
Too inconsistent.
We need an unbeaten run. No offence to Forest Green, but surely we should be able to pick up a point there.
Before the season started, we were told that MR would be given a top 8 budget. Therefore, were top 8

We're 8th because 7th and 9th wete already takenI could not give a tuppeny fuck what you think it’s irrelevant , the fact remains as it stands we are 8th in the league and I need a decent well thought explanation into why we are in that position. Thank god for McNulty else we could be out of this league
So come on someone tell me why we are 8th
Blackburn should get promoted this season though had a big wobble Saturday and it's the new year so Mowbray will probably fuck it up.Blackpool got promoted last year
Blackpool got promoted last year

Guess which village club we gave those to
But people are reading too much into who we’re losing to, not the total points we have.
Yes, we should most definitely beat the teams at the bottom of the table.
But those two losses against FGR, a lower league team took 6 points off us. If we’re going to lose games, I’d rather that be the case. Had we lost the games against Luton and Notts County but beaten FGR twice, we have the same points total but Luton and NC would 3 points further ahead of us.
I just think people are getting their kacks in a twist too much on the back of a bad result.
We’ve been here before this season with people questioning MR only for it to die down after a couple of wins.
Inconsistency is poor and needs addressing but we need to calm our tits down over individual results in the same way that we shouldn’t have been get semis after trouncing Luton at their place.

Plus they had a brief promotion into the PL
