Think I hope that Holloway will be here next year; he’s put something in place for end of year signings that he wants moving forward; he’s identified which of the youth are ready to be bloodied next year; he knows who he wants to keep, who will be sold and who he wants to let go.
This year will, at best, be mid table safety. I hope that we don’t end up breaking this run and then going on a downward spiral. Carrying forward positivity to next year, with the aim of playoffs/promotion is where I hope we will be.
I also hope that there will be significant change in ownership behind the scenes and we find ourselves in a better position there.

Was wondering how we compared v the incredible turnaround teams:
2021-22 - Rovers P31, pts 47 (finished 3rd, pts 80, an additional 2.2 ppg) = required for POs: 77
What was the other team?
I posted it all here. Its not impossible but its a mammoth struggle, but Bristol Rovers and Doncaster in recent years have come from similar positions at this stage to make it. I do think its a bridge too far for us though.
Doncaster Rvrs on 10th Feb after 30 games they were in 20th place on 32 points (9 wins 5 draws)
They picked up 12 wins and 3 draws in the last 16 games ending on 71 points in 5th place. Thats 2.4 PPG.
Bristol Rovers on 15th Feb after 30 games were in 12th place (12 wins 8 draws)
They picked up 11 wins and 3 draws in the last 16 games ending on 80 points in 3rd place. Thats 2.25 PPG.
Swindon are currently sat in 14th place after 30 games (9 wins 12 draws)
Auto promotion must normally be around 83 points.
Play offs are normally about 75 points but last season it was just 70 points for 7th place.
So we would need around 75 points to get to the play offs (average) meaning we would need to pick up 2.3 PPG average or 12 wins.
Our PPG has been 2.0 since the Colchester defeat.
Still...its good to dream until it is unattainable!

We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Notts by far the better team first half but they do look less threatening sans McGoldrick

Nam score twice in injury time to get a 2-2 at home to Walsall.
Walsall scored after 40 seconds and with a Freckleton like mistake at the back from Stubbs in the second half.
Nam brought Thomas on after about 80 mins and he made one and scored one in the 90th and 94th minutes! Until then Walsall had defended resolutely.

So, after a couple of empty mid weeks for us but not for other teams - only 2 teams (MK & Newport) can over take us if they win their singular game in hand.
So, worst case scenario when everyone catches up is we drop 2 places.

Unbelievable how shite Dons & Gills have become considering their squads are fairly decent.
