....Do you still reckon we look like a 'side on the slide'? Should we still accept that 'automatic promotion this season is unlikely?' as per this thread: http://www.thetownend.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16532&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15Just wondering  I'm not one to harp on normally, I think that 99.9% of what you say is spot on but I just think you were way off the beam with that point. I'm not having a go or owt, just wondering what you think in the context of today's result/performance? |

Four, Bartek. Three automatic and one in the play-offs.

Top 3 teams win automatic promotion, then 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th go into the playoffs, the winner of which also gets promoted.
I'm not going to get carried away until we beat Rovers on Saturday, but the pyschological boost from this win should be massive. Its a huge win but the gap is still on 2 points down to 6th....

Obviously, the way to prevent a slide is with an emphatic performance which has now been achieved.....generally though so far this season we've llooked better away than at home....the game v Rovers will tell a lot, as to whether we're auto candidates..... |

By way of addition to the above, I would say that the next 6 games, 4 of which are packed into the holiday period, will decide if we're on for automatic.....after Rovers, we've Macc, who are starting to pick up under Ince....and also won at Walsall, in the cup. Then a tough run with Wycombe, Notts County, MKD in quick succession.

Not the time to be accepting that automatic promotion is 'unlikely' just yet though I think it's fair to say  |

I think the question now is will Sturrock stick with the 4-5-1 formation or revert back to 4-4-2 for the Gaaaaaaaaas?
