The issue is consistency. The standard in this league is better than I thought it would be. There’s some talented players, progressive managers, sides who can execute a plan to stop other teams playing or impose their strengths to get results against anybody. Crawley and Cheltenham did it against sides in the top 2 tiers, as did today’s opponents Newport, who beat Watford, Swansea and drew against Newcastle. While we are on a good run and on our day capable of beating anyone in this league, we are, as we have seen these last few weeks, not immune to what plagues all these sides in the bottom tier, consistency. And let’s be honest, that’s why we are all there. I think it’s easy to get carried away thinking we will brush away every side we play and perform to our best every week, it’s not going to happen. And while I’ll be disappointed if we don’t win today, I won’t be coming on here calling out the players, IE, and their decision-making inconsistencies, if things don’t go to plan. I would still believe that any result today would still leave us in a position for promotion. Totally agree. Our point on Friday taking us 1 point further away from the 5 teams behind us means even a loss today isn’t the end of the world. Sure, it makes it more difficult but 21 points remaining after today, teams arses twitching, it’s going to be a fun ride. Not for the faint hearted.

gonzo Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Still have every faith. Not even arsed we lost today. Had to lose somewhere and now is the right time to do it. I think Maddison needs a couple of starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmed Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 We are going up via the play-offs for me, so long as we avoid injuries. Automatic would probably involve winning 3 out of the 4 away games and i just cannot see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I wouldn’t fancy us in play offs Especially if it involves them scruffy rat cunts from Birkenhead. I just can’t see anyone gathering enough form to stop us going up automatic, everyone is all over the place. Getting Sarcs back anytime soon would tip the balance for me. No coincidence him being missing has lead to a dip in form/creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also concerned with out ability to break teams down at home who just come and sit deep and let us have the ball. Will be a good test against Harrogate as I'm sure they'll do similar to Colchester. Sarc will definitely help with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence him being missing has lead to a dip in form/creativity. I agree, as long as we bounce back on Saturday, then our confidence will return. Our confidence and quality should be enough to see us over the line for promotion. And while, undoubtedly I’d love to see Sarce back, I think we can also do it without him. I think if you gave Lee those 2 chances again, 99/100 he’s knocking those into the back of the net. As at @Mounts Kipper mentioned yesterday, I heard everything I wanted to hear from our manager and coach/keeper. The tone of IE and MG interviews after today’s defeat were very balanced, calm & rational, no panic, exactly what we need going into the final 7 games. Its reactions like that, not hysterical over-reactions, that will compose these players, get them refocused and back on track to promotion.

Site Supporter Ratwhite Posted April 6, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2021 Sadly I think that its going to be the lottery of the play offs. The loss of Sarc has been a critical blow, lack of goals could be our downfall. I fucking hated writing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheltenham and Cambridge have consolidated their spots and we have fallen back into pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
