Dave_Og Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 48 minutes ago, LaticsPete said: I’m normally optimistic and happy clapping but I think some of us are underestimating how other teams will do. Stevenage perked up with five unbeaten before the last few games. Under Tisdale they can do so again. Walsall , with a new decent manager now, aren’t necessarily on a continuous slump. Our problem is that, despite the last 5 games, we are still only where we are. We gave lots of teams several points start . Can Shez maintain the current level of team performance? I I just don’t know , We’ll lose a couple on the bounce at some time and must hope that team confidence isn’t dented too much. 20 more points I reckon and some of those against fellow strugglers please. Injuries likely to be a big problem. We're already back in the situation of having no recognised striker for the next six weeks or so and while we have a better chance of papering over that canyon than was the charge it's still a far from ideal situation to be in. I'm in exactly the same frame of mind as I was in August - if anyone offers 22nd I'll take their arm off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheridan does recognise that we cannot expect to maintain the current level of performance for the rest of the season - speaking to the Oldham Times: “We’re going to lose games - it’s just part and parcel - but go down fighting,” said the 57-year-old. “It’s short - five games unbeaten - brilliant start from us, we’ve got to continue performing and getting results and getting points.“ Let’s hope the run continues for a while yet.

It certainly let helps but don’t know their squad well enough to judge whether they are underperforming or if they are really that poor. When you look at us now, you have to say we look a solid side. Prob mid table sort of outfit with a good defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspectormorose. Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Stevenage play the current top 3 back to back in March, around the time we have the 4 home games on the trot and we've 3 games in hand on them. I'd be looking at them as candidates along with Colchester for that last spot rather than us or Carlisle. Even though we will lose games I've seen enough since Shez came back to make me think we'll be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t been ok start under Shez, it’s been a complete transformation. Yes, we’ll lose games but it’s hard to see a complete collapse in form from here. I’ve gone from absolutely nailed on to go down, to thinking we’ll be ok- just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more general point I'd also like to point out here that avoiding relegation out of the football league (something we have managed to do for the last 116 years) is not an achievement for us as a club. It's an achievement for John Sheridan and he is rightly getting the credit and I've no problem with that. But after the last 2 shezzurections we had poor Summers and ended up bottom of the league in the following August and September if no takeover goes through (any rumours anyone?) Then I can see the same thing happening. I didn't say I was here to cheer everyone up btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll get a few wallopings between now and the end of the season, but up until a few weeks ago it was safe to presume we'd be getting walloped every single game. I think we'll just about do it, though would love to be safe with games to spare ( and stop Tranmere going up) . It's great looking forward to games, having positive expectations and the possibility of dishing out a walloping for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
