November

[roversfan2001]

How does everyone think their club will fare?

Barnet (H) (FAC) - Win
Rochdale (A) (FLT) - Win
Walsall (H) - Win
Bury (A) - Win
Oxford (A) - Draw
Bristol Rovers (H) - Win
Blackpool (A) - Win

Golden month to try and put some sort of run together to put pressure on the teams above us.

We haven’t lost a league game in November for 8 years so watch out Oldham, Portsmouth, MK Dons and Oxford

 

[joethegill]

Orient H FA Cup - Win
Bury H - Win
Walsall A - Lose
Blackpool A - Draw
Oldham H - Draw

 

[07.05.16]

Notts County (A) (FAC) - Lose
Swindon (H) (FLT) - Win
Scunthorpe (A) - Lose
Wimbledon (H) - Win
Rotherham (H) - Win
Blackburn (A) - Lose

 

[Camborne Gills]

Orient H FA Cup - Win
Bury H - Win
Walsall A - Lose
Blackpool A - Draw
Oldham H - Draw

Not counting the Reading tinpot trophy game then? Though it matters even less than usual as we are through.

 

[Gassy]

Notts County (A) (FAC) - Lose
Swindon (H) (FLT) - Win
Scunthorpe (A) - Lose
Wimbledon (H) - Win
Rotherham (H) - Win
Blackburn (A) - Lose

No way we can make it to December without a single draw.

Although I agree with all of those league games - I’ll be damned if we go out against Notts County (nothing against them - obviously they’re top of the league, I just want a bloody cup run to the 3rd round ffs)

 

[Reaper]

Crewe (A) (FA cup) - Lose
Bradford (A) (Checkatrade) - Lose
Doncaster (A) - Draw
Shrewsbury (H) - Win
Bristol Rovers (A) - Lose
Wigan (H) - Draw

 

[SMH]

Crawley (H) (FA Cup) - W
Accrington (H) (JPT) - L (therefore we'd be knocked out)
Rochdale (A) - W
Bradford (H) - W
Doncaster (H) - L
Rotherham (A) - D

Doncaster on a Tuesday has end of unbeaten home record written all over it. They've been a bogey team of ours for years now. Seven points from 12, out of the JPT but still in the FA Cup. I'd be content with that. Bradford is a must win though, we've been very good against all the crap teams in this league but we need to start beating the good ones.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Most of the crap teams, I think you will find

We're away, they haven't lost at home yet, and our cup record under DC is crap.
Perhaps we'll win then draw a non-league team at home for our annual non-league embarrassment.

I'd genuinely forgotten about that!

 

[K-Win]

Luton (A) (FAC) - Win (I'm hoping Luton rest players - we desperately need a win for morale)
Charlton (A) - Lose (Ricky Holmes hattrick)
Blackpool (A) - Lose (we're just rubbish away from home)
Southend (H) - Win
Peterborough (A) - Lose
Plymouth (H) - Win

 

[1976Bantam]

Chesterfield (H, FAC) - Win. McCall will no doubt rest one or two players and our squad isn't huge, but I'd like to think we will still have enough to beat them.

Rotherham (H, Checkatrade) - unsure? Will be effectively the reserves and I doubt Rotherham will be too interested, never know what the outcome will be when so many changes will get made.

Plymouth (H) - Win. Have to beat the league's bottom club at home if we want to keep pace with the automatics.

Then come three games in a row which could define the season:

Wigan (A) - Draw. We're currently better away than at home and Wigan will obviously come at us, which may suit us. I'd be fine with a draw.

Scunthorpe (H) - Win, I'll stick my neck out. Will be interesting to see how they set themselves out for this one given the accusations of negative tactics from Alexander. Play like that and we may struggle to break them down but I'd like to think they'll come looking for a win which if they do, I reckon we stand a better chance of a win.

Shrewsbury (A) - Draw. Following their first defeat on Saturday will be interesting to see how Shrews react. Either way, given their form overall I'd take a draw here.

An unbeaten November would be good, though now I've said it seems quite unlikely knowing us! Only issue if the above comes to pass is not making ground on those above us in our games against them. If we want automatic we probably need to win one of them. An interesting month ahead!

Southend (H) - Win

Think you're a bit early mate.

Edit: Apologies, just seen that we play each other in that silly Cup thing. Although, Ricky won't be scoring a hatrick, he'll be at home with his feet up.

You were right first time, I usually ignore that particular...ahem..."competition". I put those predictions together too hastily. Ricky will have to wait a while before he humiliates us again.

haha see post #2 we don't lose in November and our record since your glory days is pretty sound P4 W4

 

[Hurrikeen]

Carlisle (A) - WIN (FA Cup)
Southend (A) - DRAW
Rochdale (H) - WIN
Wimbledon (H) - WIN
Gillingham (A) - DRAW

Looking back, you always seem to beat us 2-1. My predictions are always wrong anyway so I wouldn't worry.

Reckon you'll take it seriously? Hope we do but wouldn't be that surprised if we chucked everything at the league.

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Port Vale (a) - FA cup tie against some non-league shepherds. 3-0 win at a canter.

Northampton (h) - fresh from beating Vale in their cup final, I can't see any problems from Northampton in theirs. 3-0 Oxford.

Plymouth (a) - think they finished below Portsmouth last year. 3-0 Ox.

Blackburn (h) - Blackburn is a real cup final for us and I can't see us losing. 3-0 Oxford.

Southend (a) - we never beat Southend. 3-0 Oxford.

Some stinking fixtures for us this month by the looks of it. We always lose to bottom of the league, we won’t beat Wigan away and we are awful at Shrewsbury even when they’re naff.

Crikey, someone has been at the sherry earlier than usual

 

[Lance Stoe]

H Bristol R- Win
A Northampton- Win
A Bradford- Draw
H Charlton- Draw

Beat Northampton in the cup

We are Super Iron.

We haven’t taken it seriously in years - so no. We always put out a first team but it’s like the manager tells them not to bother

 

[joethegill]

Orient H FA Cup - Win - Won
Bury H - Win - Drew
Walsall A - Lose - Won
Blackpool A - Draw - Drew
Oldham H - Draw - Drew

Wasn't a million miles off in terms of points won, and a cup win too. Not bad.

 

[roversfan2001]

How does everyone think their club will fare?

Barnet (H) (FAC) - Win - Won
Rochdale (A) (FLT) - Win - Drew (lost on pens)
Walsall (H) - Win - Postponed
Bury (A) - Win - Won
Oxford (A) - Draw - Won
Bristol Rovers (H) - Win - Won
Blackpool (A) - Win

Golden month to try and put some sort of run together to put pressure on the teams above us.

Went better than I expected, just need a win tomorrow night now to cap off a very good month.
