Sorry but my boots are nicking me a bit

[wakey]

My boots went in the bin years ago. 

Can play in trainers though. Or wellies.

Oh god that's the last thing we needed 😂 

Leyton Orient have been quietly sorting themselves out. Only 6 PTS behind us now

We've got Barnsley, Lincoln and Mansfield coming up 

See table below 

3 wins would put us in a comfortable spot in the play offs 

Not winning could make the table look shit by the time we play Exeter who are just out of sight in 13th on 27 points

We'd do well to ignore that result, Barnsley averaging 1 point a game at home, and 2 points a game away.  Only Birmingham and Wycombe are better away.

And we know they'll raise their game coming here like most teams.

So to summarise: If we win some games, our position will improve, and if we continue to lose/draw, some teams will overtake us 😀

aye, though it's crucial with a gap forming to 5th that we get the better of the other teams vying for a play off spot alongside us

the pressue is mounting just to stay in touch with the play offs

and we don't deal with pressure well

i'm not taking games in hand into account because last season taught me not to take games in hand into account

[VividDreamer]

They’re a much better side away from home is what I’ve gathered from their forum. Apparently their best two players in Connell and Phillips weren’t in the match day squad today so let’s hope that continues

Rumour is that both are up for sale in January.

I'd take Connell in a heartbeat.

[zurichwhite]

Quick question please, I’m going to this game but can only get there around 3.20- I’m in the west stand lower, is there always a turnstile open in the first half or a cut off time? Thanks lads

Extra cover for a 2-man midfield.

There's normally 1 turnstile still open.

If not, walk through the main entrance & a steward will walk you through.

Aye I've done that before. 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Just kick off outside. 

They'll throw you in as punishment! 😁
