No the real hardcore; even Radcliffe is missing this big game. 

I’m not including Southerners showing up for an odd away game up the road from London. 

I’m talking about people travelling 200 miles from the North West. 

Fair play to you this season though, you’ve made a real effort 👍🏻

I know there’s a bit of fixture fatigue amongst folk at the minute, but surely we can take something similar to the 1,100 that went to Oxford?

Think it be more like Wycombe 750ish myself

Well we've 500 guaranteed away STs going surely

😀 2 of ours have been returned as will probably a few hundred 

Not particularly relevant for this thread but as good a place as any, I've just noticed 8 out of next 12 are away.  It will be some going if we're still on 2 points a game when we get to 10th March

 

Away form in the league is almost as good as home form. 2.21ppg vs 1.92 ppg

If we play to our strengths home or away is irrelevant. When we’re on blob we can beat anyone in this league and hopefully our mini blip will soon be over and we can crack on again and I’m also sure all of those teams will be nervous about playing us despite being at home.

Mini blip?

Do you mean losing ONE league game? 

We’ve won 5 league games out of the last 6.

Lucky in the last one though

Sorted. Not much traffic on the ticketing site for this one.

Think he means in terms of the performance, but yes stats say wins 

Nice and easy - which block would you like and would you prefer to sit there alone

Poor and lost at Orient, equally poor and very lucky to win on Tuesday. That’s mini to me you see it how you want.

I think anyone that thinks we aren't in a bit of a blip performance wise is being generous.  Having a blip is allowed, its not a criticism, it just happens, with injuries/form/fixture backlog etc.  City, Arsenal, Spurs, Pompey, Derby have them, its no big deal in isolation. 

But referring to it as a blip seems reasonable.  Yes we've beaten Burton, Lincoln, Cheltenham, Fleetwood and Orient recently but its hard to look at performances in December and January and say we don't need to improve.  Which I'm sure we will with a little help from the transfer window hopefully.

Anyway when @desperado admits to having some concerns we know its time for the rest of us to worry 😃

I'll get really concerned if @Whitesince63 predicts anything but a comfortable win 😃

The Howfen Ultras & the LL Leg-End are sorted.....

The "Buy more than we need cunts" mustn't be bothering with this one.....

Still far more positives 😃

If we are in a blip then what a blip it’s been. Underperforming and winning is one of the key ingredients to promotion. A proper blip is when you stop picking up points - last 2 years they’ve gone on for months where poor performances mean no points.

My concerns are squad depletions and too many games - but with a few more additions as IE alludes to, there's every reason to believe we can keep winning games/picking up points.

Yes, we'll all take the 1-0 scrappy wins any day of the week.  But the underperforming has arguably been going on last 2 months, and that includes 3 defeats.  There's no shame in that and its still a good points return if we're talking top 6, but its an unforgiving league when you're aiming for top 2.  The form table last 10 games starting with 7-0 v Exeter, has us 6th, 5 points less than Barnsley and Peterboro.  Either we need to up our game or they need to have their blip soon, which could well happen.  In Barnsley's case our 2 league games against them aren't a million miles from being "play offs" in themselves as if either team gets 6 points its a massive stride towards promotion.

Anyway, sorry for hijacking the Cambridge thread, I'll leave it there - onwards and upwards.

So all the talk where:

-Any win will do.

-Winning despite being second best

-Winning ugly is a sign of a good team

-Being entertained is fine but three points is the most important part of a game

Aren’t anything but throw-away sound bites, rhetoric, bullshit?

In x2. Funny how much smoother the system works when there aren’t thousands of folk all trying at the same time 🤣

All depends which form table you’re looking at 😉
