A good start to the season? I have a few points to make on that subject. 1. Four goals against struggling Southend is not an indicator of our goalscoring improvement. 2. Eight of our first nine league matches have come against teams that are currently below us in the table which means they are struggling at the moment. 3. We should be beating the likes of Rotherham, doesnt matter that they came down from the Championship, there is no guarantee that they can get to the play offs. 4. Our position in the standings doesnt reflect our form 1.They've average three against them, so four was bettering the average. 2.You can only beat whats in front of you. 3.Why should we be beating the likes of Rotherham away? 4.It does, that's how a league table works. |

Unlike some i dont see signs pointing to a good season. If you bring highly rated strikers you supposed to play a bit more offensive football but Southend and Accrington games apart we scored only two goals in seven matches and one in 180 minutes against Wimbledon and Rotherham with new and injuried players in XI.
In short i cant find much positives at the moment, in addition like i posted before eight sides of nine that we have played so far are below us in the table and we already lost too many points against bottom half teams

Our position in the standings doesnt reflect our form I missed this gem but you must be right. Of course it means nothing to score four against Southend, as I'm sure it meant nothing to any of the teams who've scored against them this season, except MK of course, who played them after us and scored none. Anyway, we'd already scored five and that's one more than four. Yes, of course we should always beat Rotherham, as we should beat every team we play that isn't guaranteed a play off place. [How do you get one of those guarantees, by the way? ] And you're bang on the money again with that astute observation that, whilst our league position has nothing to do with our form, everyone else's does and so those 8 teams below us are already in a relegation fight - Rotherham, Burton, MK, Portsmouth, I fear for them, I really do. Great post! |

According to Lewis Cox our lack of accuracy in front of goal is pretty surprising.
It would be if we were a top 10 side, but i think we are bottom 8 team and sooner or later we will be there as from now on we are going to play mainly top half clubs.
And our encouraging position in the table is not down to resilient and organised defence, but to the fact that in 11 games we have played only two were against really good sides

Its not surprising, its a continuing theme from last year.... Check this out.... experimental361.com/2019/10/06/scatter-graphics-league-1-5-oct-2019/"The Trotters’ position is obscuring some worryingly poor finishing at Shrewsbury for the second season running" Its a problem that needs to get sorted if we are to ever challenge 10th or above.. |

"A good point away" at Lincoln for me is two points dropped against one of the worst teams in the form table with 7 defeats in the last 10 games. Never been impressed by performances and now i see a dip in results is coming, just look at the calendar Yawn , yawn , yawn zzzzzzzzzzz |

I don't think we can expect much improvement from the squad, from the new players and we'll have SR just buying time and making excuses At the end of the last season many voted for SR to stay, we were told that " he deserves a chance to build his own team, bring players and staff, a full pre - season, 12 games, two months". Dont remember about giving him time till Christmas but almost three months on i struggle to see any signs of improvement despite our deceptive position and having played the majority of the games against poorest teams of the league |

Let's see what we are made of after the next 4 tough games.
If we can get 5-6 points from these 4 fixtures then that will be a good return.

Last season it was tight at the bottom and in this campaign its tight at the top half which means with some improvement we can push for play- offs but i dont think we can do it under SR and its really disappointing that we will have lost almost two seasons while he is at the club.
After all we are not by chance the second lowest scoring team in the league

Most likely we'll keep getting good results in cups but in league i think Bristol Rovers defeat was a beginning of the end for SR, could be the worst run of games for us in December.

With the top half being so tight i think this season we can and should try to get to the play-offs.
But in my opinion SR and our self imposed limiting belief about not being big enough to get promoted are the reasons why we are not top 4.
After all i dont think Wycombe planned to be top of the league before the start of the season

Like many on here i've been trying to figure out what this season is all about.
It reminds me previous two, its two in one, in the first half of the season we are in a point or two from one of the weakest top 6 in recent league history and as a result expectations are raised and fans start to dream.
Then downfall in performances and results against bottom half sides should cause frustration and build pressure on SR.
In previous posts i said we are bottom 8 side by our performance and the way we get results.
There are two things that dont surprise me, second lowest scoring and our next 9 games when we play against 8 teams below us in table

Weanwhile we dropped to 16th after Lincoln beat Bolton 5 - 1 and its bottom 8 Can't even spell properly. However worse than that , as usual you have totally ignored the great win town had tonight. Your not a supporter. Just a pathetic keyboard troll with nothing better to do than slag off Sam Ricketts etc , and never giving any credit when the Town have a good result. |

In the next 8 games we might manage to get only around four points, which is 38 pts after 33 games, bottom 5 could be. The reason its tight is to allow us to catch up after managerial change in early March and to finish in play offs to win promotion at Wembley |

Should we expect a miracle, wait untill it improves itself or spend 4 weeks to find a replacement? And that at the end of the season and considering fixtures that we have, the majority against top half sides fighting for promotion. Just to remind that JA was sacked after a run of six games: W L L W L W. SR started with one win in twelve , looks like he is going to end the similar way. |
