Something tells me not to write Bury off just yet. Maybe they have left themselves with too much to do, but there are some good players in that squad...

Oldham82 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Doyle and hunt back for Southend I hope and the Irish midfielder who is rated be back in 2/3 week's I think enough . Huge win last night needed them 3 points out of bottom 4 . We were 4 points adrift less than 2 weeks ago so confidence back we need lady luck too for next 13 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point though, plenty of tidy footballers, but not many leaders. Still, we have just taken 7 from 9. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) What I back this team to do better than other teams we have had in previous seasons is to score goals. This team is more capable than the 2 previous seasons of finding the back of the net we will do enough to stay up. We've taken 7 from the last 9 without Eoin Doyle with him back we will easily do enough. 13 to go 5 wins required throw in 3 draws it still allows for 5 defeats to the 54 point mark that will easily see us safe.

I'm craving mid-table mediocrity. This season's countdown seems more achievable though - I hope Typical Latics Law doesn't dictate that it's the one we make a mess of. Can't wait for the 'we are staying up' chant to do the rounds again - absolute piss boil song that one, there's nothing worse for me than celebrating the fact that we've finished top of the bottom quarter of the table.

Other than that, we play all the teams in the bottom half except Fleetwood and MK. As well as that, we don't really have an individual weakness in the first XI. The defence as a whole is a bit suspect but I trust each player within it. So as long as we don't a bad run of form in March I think we'll be OK.

Huge win last night needed them 3 points out of bottom 4 . We were 4 points adrift less than 2 weeks ago so confidence back we need lady luck too for next 13 games After Plymouth I was really worried RW could not turn it around, his demeanour and grumbles did not bode well. But since then, he has managed to get the team to play against it's natural instincts, tightened up a bit and got the team still performing. He's shown he can change tactics but most importantly get them motivated. I'm less worried than other seasons at the moment, we have some quality players and some more to come back. We are far from put of the woods yet and it will see many more twists and turns, not least from the games in hand some have on us, but RW has shown he has not "lost the dressing room" to use the hated phrase. Bury's revival has a few draws, but we are 10 clear of them, so in our hands. Dale took a major setback last night going down after being ahead, their pile up, cup distraciton and dodgy pitch may help us. Would still prefer both them to stay up., but not at our expense obviously. Fleetwood, AFCW, & MKDons are all on a bad run all losing their last 4 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the answer is No. Celebrating failure is in my opinion cringeworthy, of course I've been pleased that we have managed to survive but only because it gave us some hope for the following season.

We’ll be fine, if we continue to grind out results when not playing brilliantly though possibly saved by Dale and MK Dons, plus 2 others I have a feeling that Bury will scramble clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Northampton this year are definitely the worst side I’ve ever seen at BP. The fact that we’re level on points with them makes me want to vomit. This squad should be finishing top-half at the very least, best eleven we’ve had for years.

It was looking bad when I stopped absorbing over the takeover and realised how shit our results had got. Injuries and Wellens sulking put more fear into me. We have a better shape and seemingly improved morale now. Minging points at home and hoping for good performances away with more to come from Pringle/Ducky/Doyle/McEleney/McLaughlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
