Sorry but totally disagree with your hopeful post.SJG99 wrote:I still think we'll be in with a shout of the playoffs into the last weeks of the season, once the cup distraction is out of the way we'll be fully focused on the league again and results will pick up, and we have a great run-in, with a big imbalance in home versus away games.
Nine remaining home fixtures which are:
Forest Green
Notts Co
Accrington
Luton
Crewe
Coventry
Stevenage
Swindon
Cambridge
Only six away, and we've got
Mansfield
Port Vale
Yeovil
Chesterfield
Barnet
Carlisle
Basically apart from Mansfield we should be favourites in the away games and could log 5 wins, the home games we should win 4, and then there are 5 more against promotion rivals - those will define the season as 6 pointers and go a long way to deciding where we end up. Just the 9 wins in games we should be favourites there would put us on 73 points...
When we were concentrating on the league earlier in the season we put together a heap of results, and unless we progress in the FA Cup there is only one occasion where we'll be playing more than once in a week, which gives players better recovery time and will help us as most of our underwhelming results have come in busy weeks with little rest time.
Still looks positive for a tilt at promotion even after a disappointing week.
As for the squad, we've got enough cover for a side with our finances and our first team and as with any team we'll be better with the first team available. It's nice to have some options and the first team can beat anyone in this division, and have been doing so pretty regularly.
This is as bad as results get for us this season, and we shouldn't ignore what's happened the rest of the season just because of it.
Favourites in 5 away games?
Of those 5 maybe Yeovil, but Chesterfield & Barnet are fighting for their lives.
The others would be home favourites.
Think I can see 5/6 points from those games at best..
Sorry the majority of cover we have are not up to it hence Flynny never changes the side regardless of how some are looking knackered.
Hope you are correct but think its wishful thinking sorry to say
