I don't care what any of you moaning dickheads say I'm confident that the enforced break will prove to be the launch pad for turn in fortunes that will see us creep up that table unnoticed. I know a lot of the usual doom merchants have already written off this season but, until it's mathematically impossible for us to go up, I will keep on believing. Sure you can call it denial but I prefer blind optimism.

Fuck you all, I'm off to have the first of many beers. Have a good one!

Had some already aint you ;)

Have a good one all. We are out and about in Christchurch at the mo

Happy New Year.

Not even that hung over, just tired :(

Happy New Year

Now let's celebrate it with a win !!!!!!

Still only 5 or 6 points off the play-offs. A couple of wins and there is a chance we could sneak into the race.

Bournemouth deserve respect, but looking at our remaining Home fixtures, there is nothing frightening. Get this transfer window right and we could (and perhaps should anyway) win them all.

What we have left Away are far harder... what we pick up on the road will be the difference between a late surge towards the Play-Offs, or mid-table consolidation.

 :)

Been saying that since September though

It was still true though.

And  loss or two and well be in the relegation mire.

Unless some miracle happens in the transfer window its time to start looking over our shoulder and forget all about playoffs, We aren't good enough.

We're in it already. Everyone below us has a game in hand and we're only 3 points above Rovers in 21st. The squad isn't good enough for the playoffs. We now need some serious movement in the transfer window and a run of results to see us safely in mid table.

We are in a relegation battle, but not the relegation mire.

what do you mean same thing. sticks fingers in ears. lalalalalal can't hear you.

In all seriousness, the sooner people/players/management forget about the "a few wins and we'll be near the playoffs" and concentrate on fighting to stay out the relegation zone the better.

This squad is easily good enough for the play-offs. Who from AFCB would you have in our starting 11? and they're sat 4th.

This league is shit this year, and there is nothing between most teams bar the bottom 3 or 4 (walsall yeovil D&R) and the top 3 or 4 (Sheff W, Soton, Huddersfield Brighton). We have the playing staff to match AFCB, MK, fucking Hartlepool etc, but they're bereft of passion, desire, leadership or spirit

No it isn't. It leaks too many goals and we only have one striker.

I'd take their centre half with the bandage, both central midfielders, #14 up front, and their left winger. And possibly Feeney from their right wing.

i thought their fullbacks were good. although you have to question a defender wearing "slime green" boots

We have 4 Centre forwards in contention for the 1st team - Only 1 of them is good enough.

Without Douglas the Centre of our midfield is completely ineffective.

We don't have a credible Centre back pairing.

The squad isn't good enough as it stands.

On yesterdays showing I'd take Pearce, Feeney, Pugh and even Fletcher from Bournemouth.

I'm not in the anti Pericard league but a 40 year old gave Pericard a lesson on how to play the role. Frampton couldn't cope with him. He dropped deep and pulled defenders out of place.
