yup, good work

I think that you might be a bit too optimistic - are we going to go to the end of the season undefeated?

Unlikely, I would have thought. Don't forget what happened with Franchise and Rovers...

To be fair Alan we've had unbeaten runs of 13 games and 11 games already this season. We're unbeaten in 4 at the moment so it's not impossible we can go another 8 without losing.

leeds was the biggest worry in terms of losing until recently.now there is no better time to go there and play them.if we stifle them their crowd will get on their backs and we can beat them.
obviously colchester and millwall now look the toughest fixtures

[Barry Scott]

I actually believe we'll go unbeaten until the end of the season. I also think we'll win them all giving us 94 points.

Please oh please oh please let this happen.  If we all believe hard enough and cross everything then it might just happen. Aceness all round!

You may as well believe that as anything else. It could happen. It's football.

Colchester have had some average results at home recently. Much more confident about winning there than at Leeds.

[Ralphy]

Automatic would be awesome.

I have a feeling that the game against Millwall is going to be a massive, massive game.

Whoever wins, goes up.

[Barry Scott]

I find the idea of automatic promotion a bit of an anti-climax to be honest. I know when we went up from league 2, it was good but kind of forgotten in no time at all. If i really had to choose i'd go for the play-off route, because that's such an amazing experience, especially if we got to go to Wembley. Don't think i could deal with losing though.

 Quite. Strange things tend to happen when the pressure comes on....far better to chill out, sit back and see what happens. For example we've failed to win a home league game in March....both marred by excess negativity from fans who just expect us to turn up and win.

All games from now until the end will be tight dour affairs, on dodgy pitches, or windy conditions when you have to grind out  something and need a bit of good luck.

Take ColU on for 3 points until the Wycombe lad punched in a last minute equaliser.

[DiV]

For example we've failed to win a home league game in March....

we only played two and one was a credible draw against already promoted Norwich.

On the flip side we've won 3 away games this month, two of which were at places were in the past we dont have fantastic records (Brighton & Hartlepool)

So, to sum it up. fuck off reg.

3 points from a draw against Wycombe would be a great result, maybe we can get a few other 3 point draws before the end of the season too!
