Gilkes ain’t one to worry about, easily good enough at this level in fact with Williams, Lee, Santos, Baptiste in front he can afford to put his slippers on. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 We just concentrate on our H2Hs I’d sooner have points in the bag ok Carlisle have I think 4 but others it’s 1&2, playing 3 games a week will increase chance of injuries and suspensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton va va Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Newport v Forest Green today. A draw please, meaning only a total of 2 points going to clubs above us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger_Dubuis Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I think its nailed on Bolton go up, added to the expensive Doyle and Sarcevic the club have paid for better players than any other 4th Div club could afford in the Jan window.The club with the best players getting promoted is inevitable It makes a refreshing change from that Jan window when QPR spent about £20 million to stay up and Bolton sold Cahill.

Pretty much sums up my feelings we are 10/1 with bet 365 to get promoted 7/1 to make play offs 100/1 to win league. Only Cambridge have played more games than us, 1 game and are 11(I think) points in front of the other 9 ahead on points 8 have games in hand. Do not want to go all Tony Cee here but we will have to go on a great run to make up for the shit start. I think we have the squad to possibly do it but the odds reflect our chances. I know other teams with more games to play might pick up injuries, but do will the teams they play. The key think is win next two, then start taking points off those above us. Good to at least be considering these options a few weeks ago was spending as much time looking at teams below us . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens, after another two games we’re already in the automatic spots helped massively by a 15-0 win against Barrow. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marple whites Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) I’d go 80 points, be there or there abouts. when we play top teams we need to win and when top teams play each other we need draws. this squad from day 1, would have got automatic promotion, but we should at worst make play offs Edited February 21, 2021 by marple whites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 6/8 of our next games are teams below us in the league. Cambridge and FGR are the other 2 and I didn't see anything special about them when we played them in the first fixture. I'll go: Scunthorpe (H) 1-1 Draw Barrow (H) 3-0 Win Oldham (A) 1-2 Win Bradford (A) 0-1 Win Cambridge (H) 2-0 Win Port Vale (A) 1-3 Win Walsall (H) 1-1 Draw FGR (A) 2-1 Loss 17/24 pts I think that's a reasonable amount to aim for and would put us in a good position to kick on for a promotion push.

We are not catching any of Carlisle, Cambridge, or Forest Green for me! Play offs could still happen though, need to up the anti at home!

Traf Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I think that after the poor start, most would have taken the play-offs, so I'm fine with a trip to Wembley if that's what it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 22, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 22, 2021 We have to play Cambridge and have a game in hand. Win them both and we're within 5 points of them. Carlisle, again we have to play, and they've got a very intense period of games. Teams above us have games against each other, and the some of the teams that started well have tailed off, Colchester and Newport for example. I think top spot, and maybe even second may be a bit too far, but third is there for taking- all down to how well we perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
