Title: The next 8 days
Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Monday, March 16, 2009, 00:15:37
I think it is fair to say the next 3 games will decide our season. Realistically is anything less than 7 points enough?

I'd like to see us get exactly 8 points.

I'd say not. Most crucial that we get 6 points from Hereford and Northampton, but I can't see it happening.

Southend will be up for it too. If we get a point or more from that and win the other two games I'll be very happy.

It depends on how other teams do but I think we need maximum points. We need the full 9 and the bad news is Southend over the last 8 games I think are the on the best form in the division.

7 would leave us needing 10 points from 7 games.

9 points is a must!!!! :-)

7 points minimum for me. I can see tomorrow being a 1-1 draw.

We've only won 3 since October, so I guess we should prepare for disappointment.

I would say we need 10 from the next 4 games.  Southend and Hereford home, Northampton  and Yeovil away.

Southend is the hardest game, but I think it's a game we are more likely to win given our recent record.  The other 3 are the worry for me because we don't show up against the lower league battlers! and they are the more important games to get 6 points from, if you catch my drift!

Definately need to beat Hereford as they have two games in hand over us.
Out of the three games I'd be chuffed to bits with 7 points.

I'd agree - too often we disappear when the game gets a bit rough, but when we are given freedom to play, which you get from the better footballing sides, we play well.

Which, overall, is really, really fucking frustrating.....

Absolutely.  Gutted that I can't make that game as well.

I am volunteering to have a fun day with orphaned kids on Saturday - if I come home after this and find out we've lost to Hereford I think I will probably seriously contemplate hanging myself with the flex from the kettle such will the emotional wrackage be!!

Anyone know how the reserves got on today?

I dont think I'm the only one who thinks we have more chance of taking points from the form team in league 1 (southend) than we do one of the most out of form teams (Northampton)

it really shouldnt be that way.  our players are cunts

It's the next 4 games that will decide our fate not 3. Southend, Hereford, Northampton and then Yeovil. Really we have to pick up at least and I mean at least 7 points from those 4.

How many goals has Macklin got for the ressies this year? He's always on the scoresheet.

There really is no harm in putting him in the squad now is there?


Title: Re: The next 8 days
Post by: jayohaitchenn on Monday, March 16, 2009, 21:34:25
What's the worst that could happen? His pace would terrify left backs.


Title: Re: The next 8 days
Post by: DV on Monday, March 16, 2009, 22:08:51
I think most of his goals have been for the youth team rather than the reserves but that 3 or 4 in his last 2 reserves games.

I'm suprised he hasnt been used yet this season what with our wingers mainly being a bit shit.

We don't have a right winger really.

It's in our hands (as the actress said to the bishop).
