Next few games...

[jsslatic]

Brilliant to get ourselves into 4th before the little break. Time to regroup, freshen up and then push on from where we left off. Looking at the fixture list now before new year:

 

Brighton (h)

Peterborough (a)

Orient (h)

Crewe (a)

Carlisle (h)

 

Massive opportunity for us now. We've proven ourselves against the top half of the table, now it's time to dispatch of the dross in the division and make an assault on the top. Yeovil's shown us we can't be complacent...but the fact we've thumped the other two sides really struggling that we've played (Hereford and Cheltenham) 4-0 proves we can do it against the poorer sides. Would take a point at London Rd, but even with due caution and knowing anyone can beat anyone in this division...we should be looking at picking up maximum points in the other three games and getting ourselves into the automatic places by New Year.

 

As long as Shez can keep everyone's heads screwed on and avoid complacency, December could be a very, very good month.

Brighton (h)

Peterborough (a)

Orient (h)

Crewe (a)

Carlisle (h)

 

My resolution in the New Year is to stop reading the fixture list and guessing how many points we'll get.

 

However, that's over a month away so I'm going for 10 points from the 5 games.

TBH got to be looking at 12 points there. 3 home wins and an away win at Crewe, anything at PBoro is a bonus. Its going to be a tough game at Peterbrough.

aye Carlisle away are in relegation form as usual ... crewe we usually do well and look woeful this term

 

posh is gona be very tricky - BIG BIG game tho

 

Brighton tougher than it looks I'd say - and Leyton Orient shud be 3 points which means a 2-0 loss

 

we shud be looking at minimum 10points

 

I reckon we could actually win all 5

Its going to be a tough game at Peterbrough.

 

Knowing us that's three points in the bag and we will it up V's Crewe

[Guest sheridans_world]

Crewe will be postponed, a frozen pitch on boxing day I imagine, its because they have one really big stand that blocks the sun out and three very small ones.

[kellys_discopants]

Speaking of Crewe i hear that the Chippy outside the ground will be shut on Boxing day

[wozz_oafc]

I hope if we lose to the Posh its not going to return to the doom and gloom again! We will do well to get something down there.

Agreed about spanking Peterborough. 2 nil to the 'tics. We'll fall the week after though and look like clowns

Yes, but better that way round. Take points of those around you and you can afford a few more slip ups against other sides.
