RoyleArmy1994 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Bristol City (A) FA Cup 1st Round Crawley (H) Sheffield United (A) Rochdale (A) For some non pessimistic reason, i fear losses at Bristol and sheffield, but i would snap your hand off at a point from either. Crawley at home should be 3 points, rochdale away is a difficult one with the way they too are playing, i would take a draw but a win would be fantastic.

b0ndl1ne Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Out of the 4 league games I'd take 2 wins and 2 defeats and not worry about the unbeaten record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4oakslatic Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The unbeaten run sounds great thought doesn't it! Out of the 4 league games I'd take 2 wins and 2 defeats and not worry about the unbeaten record. I think I agree that overall wins matter now more than 'just' remaining unbeaten! It's the 3 points that will keep us up there.... God I'm feeling giddy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Exactly 4 draws or 2 wins from 4 games...no brainer! Although I am sure the unbeatable run is good for confidence in the squad going in to a game with that mindset of not wanting to give that status up without a fight!

Scapegoat Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 1 win and 3 draws OR 2 wins and 2 defeats? Whilst the latter gives us more points, taking points away from rivals and maintaining the buoyancy that the run is creating might be better in the long term? Realise the run will end at some point, but ideally against an also-ran rather than a top team - can chalk one off to a bad day, the other potentially puts doubts in the mind (we are not as a good as them). Tough next few games.....but I think if you are at the top and battling for every point they will feel like that to the end of the season (they did back in 90/91 where I was nervous all season then you look back at the table and realise we were never out of the Top 2 from about game 4 onwards).

peanuts Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 knowing us we will get a result in the three hard games and loose to crawley in front of a good crowd who then wont come back till the middle of feb its the latics way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The team and our most revered and excellent manager fear no body. This team is only going to get better. Forte is playing within himself in order to stay fit - both the injuries he has had so far came when he challenged for the ball. Jabo is the missing part of the jigsaw - I hope we can keep him but it will be hard with stand out performances like that one. In LJ I trust to find a replacement should he go. Why shouldn't the run go on and on...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 As someone who posts on here said on twitter last night, if we are still unbeaten when we play Dale, it would be typical Latics for them to beat us, thus end our unbeaten run. He has a point. The same applies if we get a snide League 2/conference side in the cup away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueatheart Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It would be just our luck that we get a tough team in the cup, when we need a game to keep our spirits going we'll draw Bristol City or Preston away. The paint pot I'm not so worried about as Preston will be on the end of a three week Saturday-Tuesday sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy_Fent Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 For me it's not necessarily about the unbeaten run. It's the reinstalled belief that we can beat anybody in this League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 To be fair LJ has already shunned a few 'typical latics' stereotypes this year - we never come back from behind - we never beat a lower ranked team at home - we can't go on an unbeaten run - we never look like owning a 20+ top goal scorer - we can't see hold out to a slender lead - we can't challenge a top 10 team away Let's forget the past and put faith in LJ to rip up the 'typical latics' :censored:e we have witnessed for the last 20 odd years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) The test will come as to how we react when the run ends and whether we can pick ourselves up and put together another run..... Tbf runs of 11 unbeaten and now 13 unbeaten suggest we can do that. Saturday is a massive test though....

Tbf runs of 11 unbeaten and now 13 unbeaten suggest we can do that. Saturday is a massive test though.... Definitely, that was one thing about us when Dowie was manager was how we bounced back from defeats. The fact we've come into this season on the back of another unbeaten run certainly suggests to me that we have it in us to keep momentum up. As long as there isn't a end of season collapse like we saw in 2008/09 and 2010/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
