Leyther_Matt Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Sitting in the South Stand in a tactical effort to get a quick dash to the rugby. Naturally the team will look up to my usual seat, see I’m not there and decide they’re going to lose deliberately. Quote

Moderators Casino Posted October 2 Moderators Posted October 2 pre season, i thought it was a tough start not as tough as we made it look, but tough anyway we (fortunately) got a belting win at Orient which really did buy a little bit of time id not have put any money on us winning both the last 2, but i wouldve backed us v exeter and shrewsbury i don't like the term must win, especially in the first 10, but 'really should win' them 2 if we win the next 2, its been a reasonable start room for improvement, but certainly not abusing players and staff tackle so, bolton 1 shrewsbury 3 Quote

Good news is currently only 2 teams are hitting the 2 point target. Less good news is that your perceived tough start after Burton and Shrewsbury we will have played 10 games, but only 2 in the league against anyone in top 10. However the over riding feeling has to be performances and results have improved beyond most expectations in last few games. Loads of goals 7,6,2 and 6 in last four. Quote
Moderators Casino Posted October 2 Moderators Posted October 2 tough start was the first few i think i stated pre season could definitely see us failing to win any of first 3 its definitely got easier, but i almost never go into an away game thinking a point would be terrible, hence why im well impressed at the latest 2 the exeter though, thats going down as this years carlisle Quote

Last year the perception was a great 1st half of season, which it was in the end, but after 11 games upto Carlisle we only had 20 points. So not unreasonable to aim for the same again. Although we did win 6 on the trot after that 😀 Quote

Folk spoke about this situation last year. Firstly, is it set in stone who will be in the top ten by then? Moreover, we got twatted by Huddersfield. They were in the top ten at the time. We just twatted their twatters. Last thing on the players' minds I reckon. Quote
Take Hunt Off Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Statistically we are one point behind where we where last season after the same number of games .jsl. Quote

It can be a nightmare as there’s only one exit and then you have to join the traffic coming off the other car parks. I go into the hotel until about 5.30 and it’s a clear drive home. Quote
