October Points

[desperado]

It’s a big month. 8 games in total. 7 league, 1 EFL trophy. Including 3 Tuesday Games. 

What do you think is the minimum acceptable number of points we could get in order to keep ambitious and optimistic about our season. I think 2 or 3 wins with a scattering of draws would get us back on track and is hopefully achievable despite our poor start.

Harrogate (a)- Loss (This generations Scarborough etc etc)

Shrewsbury (a) EFL TROPHY - Win 

Grimsby (h) - Draw

Oldham (h) - Win

Barrow (a) - Draw

Cambridge (a)- Draw

Bradford (h) - Loss

Orient (a) - Win

All of them or Toby out 

[Casino]

Id take 6 but not 3

Even Sammy Lee managed a freak win comprising of attacking, dominant football amongst all the other dross. Oldham at home can be that. Scrape together a couple of other draws.

5.

7 league games, 7 points minimum for me but I think we'll do better than that.

Harrogate (a)- Win

Shrewsbury (a) EFL TROPHY - Lose 

Grimsby (h) - Draw

Oldham (h) - Draw

Barrow (a) - Lose

Cambridge (a)- Lose

Bradford (h) - Win

Orient (a) - Draw

Acceptable would be about 10

I'm expecting 0

If I could be at the match they'd be getting my full backing. But sat on the sofa in my joggers with a brew I'm resigned to the shitness we've seen so far.

That'd be good if not a little improbable

He’s taking it really seriously and counting the points in the EFL trophy 😊

[Sweep]

You'd hope that EFL game is just kids and office staff playing, we really shouldn't be giving that game any credence at all

[LeggyMountbatten]

Will we even play Grimsby?  They are all in quarantine and their chairman is on about stopping the season.

[marple whites]

Need to be getting 10 plus from the 7 league games, balls to the cup game.

[Traf]

Ignore what's already gone. We need 12 from the next 7.

[Roger_Dubuis]

I predict 7 points. Will beat Grimsby and Oldham at home, draw at Barrow and lose the other 5

[Underpants]

Dont care anymore.

[desperado]

A point keeps us on track 😉

3/3 so far, Jesus. I'd forgotten what I'd predicted!

Based off today's first half performance I'd like to think we'd win one of Oldham, Barrow or Cambridge. Based off the second half performance though, maybe I'll stick with what I said.😅

If we don't beat Oldham or Barrow then that will be worrying after we'd just picked ourselves up with a win and they're nothing special, not got a league win between them! Cambridge on the other hand sitting in 2nd place with 10pts from 5, that will be a tough game.

Need to keep the "momentum" going, or what's left of it after today's demoralising result.

I'm still staying in the camp of today being not great but not disastrous if it's in the context of different parts of the team improving, and if the defence is tightening up then that's a great place to start.

But these next couple of games will go a long way to showing what our expectations should really be this season. Matches coming thick and fast from next weekend onwards.
