Ironically, we probably don’t. We are largely in this position due to the horrible form of sides around us. We should have been blown away a while ago. I’m staggered we are where we are.
That’s not taking anything away from our recent upturn in performances and todays result which was terrific...
I'll take a draw tomorrow. As much as I want to, I just do not trust this group of players to dig out a performance. We are far, far too soft.
Equally, if they really fancy it they'll pull off a positive result. But I fear our best hope is Lincoln losing...
Burton looked like an abject side from two divisions below. We aren’t exactly world beaters but they made us look phenomenal. They were awful.
To their credit, Burton fans gave Josh Murphy a standing ovation when he came off which is testament to them. It can’t be easy watching right now.
I'd agree with that. The division is typically 2-3 stand out sides, the rest of the play-off pack barring one or two (ourselves included who are way off it but might make it), the next few sides and then everything below 10th are either inconsistent and/or poor.
I will be staggered if we make the play offs. If we do, it'll be a huge achievement.
Lincoln deserve it and are showing all the signs of making it. I don't think it'll be anyone else, we're all too unpredictable and lack consistency. We simply don't have the fight, tactical awareness or the...
If you promise to give us the ball straight back after our inevitable inability to keep the ball, we’ll agree to a win. But you must promise many open goals.
There will absolutely be a golden opportunity at some point to take *something*.
We have our moments. I think that had more to do with your performance than anything. We don't have the mentality of a top side frustratingly. Against 'lesser' sides, we'll take points. Any side in the top half of the table, we won't.
Ironically Greg Leigh isn't even close be being a top...
It goes much deeper than a few poor performances. Put it this way, I'm so disenchanted I had to check who we were playing tomorrow. In fact, I hadn't even considered there might be a game tomorrow!
Some of the players aren't up to it, they downed tools at Bolton which said a lot. However there...
We have submitted a planning application for a stadium that will cost in the region of £150-£200 million. If we don't get it the club is as good as dead anyway. If they do get permission to build, it might kill the club anyway. Nobody knows where the source of the money is coming for or how...
It makes for a horribly awful home experience let alone a good away day! If the new ground goes ahead that might be a different story.
Not that it matters, we won't be going up anyway!
In fairness, if you play a team of petulant footballers that decide that they frankly can't be arsed any longer to play then you're bound to think that. I would think that too without context.
The context of the performance (not that it matters - We got deservedly spanked) is much greater. But...
We were a disgrace tonight. It was a horrific performance and we’ve downed tools. I can’t recall too many performances of this magnitude other than Wigan a few seasons ago. This was on a different level and I’m embarrassed
Not taking anything away from Bolton, they were terrific though they...
Dominance? Christ, I know we weren’t great but if that’s Cheltenham dominating you’re in big, big trouble.
Ironically if there was a claim to dominating any period of the game you were better in the first 15-20 minutes or so than any other period. I genuinely can’t recall Cheltenham doing...
We only draw games these days.
If we perform anything like the previous few games, we'll throw you a bone or two and allow you to get something from the game... But exclusively under circumstances where you are totally undeserving!
A completely unnecessary performance. We have ultimately thrown away a straight forward three points, twice.
Calamitous defending twice when presented with no pressure all night. Northampton will be wondering what the hell they've done to deserve that tonight. Had it not been for our bonkers...
We were there for the taking tonight. We probably got away with it given favourable opponents.
Wigan are very poor (though in fairness, for much of the game we weren’t much better). Wigan just managed to shade it in terms of how bad a side they were on the night.
The game far from deserved six...
