Robins doesn't help himself when he says things like we are the best team in the league, all that will do is raise expectations to the point that anything other than top spot is a let down to some. I think we should approach the games in 3s and I fancy us for 7 points in the next three.
Think that's what we are doing really especially with the numbers traveling away? Doesn't mean that criticism should not be directed if warranted.
Draw at lincoln we will win the other 2If we go on the next three games then I predict a draw at Lincoln, defeat at Stevenage and a draw against Crawley.
2 pts from 9 and a few points out the play off places at the end of November.
I don't see a upturn in results yet, weve been bobbling along staying in touch thankfully but I do see us falling away for a spell.
How good was the support for Mansfield on Saturday by the way? Best I've seen at the Ricoh for a long time.
Draw at lincoln we will win the other 2
Tbf we are above Stevenage in current form, and Crawley haven’t won at home in the last 3. So hopefully not just optimistic!![/QUOTE][QUOTE="steve82, post: 1426412, member: 8664"
I like your optimism! I only hope your right but I just don't see it on current form for all sides.... yet this is the unpredictable L2.
Current form is last 6 games, that is what I looked at plus thought we was away at Crawley sorry. Still think we can win both
Whilst we shouldnt accept mediocrity I am sure that none of the players think "right I will show them moaning fans I am purposely going to play shit today"! Even the top players have off days, thats when we as fans SHOULD all sing together to try and lift these players but unfortunately it aint gonna happen, just give them an extra cheer or 2 from me PusbThink that's what we are doing really especially with the numbers traveling away?

These are the easiest bank of 4 games we will get all season, we dont fear these teams.
We are Coventry City!
Easier than these 5 games in a row???
Coventry 1-0 Crewe
Barnet 0-0 Coventry
Accrington 1-0 Coventry
Coventry 0-1 Forest Green
Coventry 0-0 Colchester
Love the optimism and hope your right
Lincoln is very tricky fixture.
Be very happy with draw there. As that in my view would be a good result.
Going into the nect four games after that. We should win all 4 in my opinion.
We woukd be playing the 4 teams who will form the bottom third of the table.
Lincoln A - Draw
Stevenage A - Win
Crawley H - Win
Morecambe A - Win
Cheltenham H -Win

Indeed. Will be there doing my bit at Lincoln but will let them know come the end of the game if the performance wasn't acceptable.Whilst we shouldnt accept mediocrity I am sure that none of the players think "right I will show them moaning fans I am purposely going to play shit today"! Even the top players have off days, thats when we as fans SHOULD all sing together to try and lift these players but unfortunately it aint gonna happen, just give them an extra cheer or 2 from me Pusb
Regarding the 2 points average over 46 games for automatic places/form.Not sure id agree that it's the easiest run of 4 games... but I do that we don't fear any side.
Looking at the next 5 teams form it's not as easy as you may think.

Looking at that Lincoln are quite solid at home and on a good run.
Stevenage are in a poor spell yet are quite strong at home and free scoring.
Crawley are very resilient not scoring many and good on there travels
Morecambe are average no consistency at all at home.
Cheltenham are better at home yet poor on the road.
Compare that to our form

I predict

Stevenage - Defeat
Crawley - Draw
Morecambe - Win
Cheltenham - Win
8 pts from 15
That would put us on 35 pts on average that may see us narrowly outside the play offs over the last few years where it averages between 34/37 pts for 7th spot.
Regarding the 2 points average over 46 games for automatic places/form.
I think this season shows it may well be lower average points for third place. There are alot more competitive teams at the bottom who are taking poInts off teans at the top. 78/80 points may be enough for autos.
The teams at top form is very patchy.
Few weeks ago there were 3/4 teams averaging over 2 points per game. Now just one.
At the moment only Notts County Average two points per game and thats only just.
The botyom of the table is very competitive, we all thought FGR would be whipping boys but their last 5 games they been in top 6 form.
