Worry not - the Jacks will be fine with Curtis. The old man will keep you up. It's hard to look beyond Villa, Sunderland and Norwich to drop. P.S. Can we have McBurnie back? I don't know what happened there.

He was injured early on but even when he returned to full fitness all three of our managers this season didn't fancy him. In the one game I saw him play (against Exeter City), he was solid enough and provided some leadership which our defence has been sadly lacking this season. He'll do a decent...

Two poor teams on a boggy pitch ... if it goes ahead. I thought Akinde was a real handful at your place in the League game. Our (then) powderpuff defence struggled to cope with him. Mind you, they had the ability to struggle against most teams earlier this season.

Now we've got rid of Matt Taylor (Cheltenham fans did warn us about possible attitude and injury problems), there is a rumour that he might be heading to Torquay. You have been warned. The few games he actually played, he was decent, but neither Terry Butcher, John Sheridan, nor Warren Feeney...

I forgot to mention that. The forecast is crap and they keep on letting rugby teams play on the pitch. The pitch looked terrible last weekend after the rugby and it won't take too much wet weather to force a postponement. Sounds like with your injury problems, a postponement might not be a bad...

Whilst we have only a victory against Luton to show for our efforts at home this season, we could beat Barnet and that would mean we are not 3 points behind them. Does this mean that Barnet would officially be part of the relegation scrap? Have they got the squad to stay clear? Stevenage could...

You think your away form is bad! We have perfected the art of not being able to win at home into an art form. If we could win at home we would be midtable. One home win against Luton is all we have to show this season and it wasn't that much better in the latter half of last season. Three home...

Yay! We're top of the most managers this season table. It's about the only thing this squad are capable of winning. Warren Feeney has been a pleasant surprise so far. We never thought we would be keeping hold of Sheridan and it seems the long term plan was to prepare Feeney for the post when...

As others have said, there's a lot of football to be played. Our run-in doesn't look as bad as some other teams, but we have demonstrated that we can be dire against any team in the division. It really is a cack division this year.

I've watched the madness that unfolds at the bottom of the table from a distance for a few seasons and been so glad we haven't been involved. I fear that it will once ago again go down to the wire and that we will be there or thereabouts. It's going to be any two from that bottom six with...

... and there you pinpoint the key factor as to whether we stay up, or go down. I think the defence is sorted, we're not good enough to score lots of goals but we will score enough, but we have a one man midfield. Byrne has no protection, and is too often charging around, trying to do the work...

Come on York. Sort it out. My favourite away day.

Thought I would check out Luton Outlaws for old times sake. I haven't looked since we were in the Conference. Unsurprisingly there's not a lot of love for Still. It's worth a visit just for a giggle. I'm sure Holloway is sending the club a copy of his c.v. this evening. It's probably the...

No surprise this against a wobbly Luton side. Sheridan has made us tough to beat and a lot of people are saying we could be mid-table if we had a goal scorer. Step up McBurnie (19 years old Swansea loanee, banging them in for fun at under-21 level). Conditions were awful today. Kudos to the...

You smashed us 1-1 in the end Oxford look a decent side, but Sheridan has us organised enough to cope with their plinky-plonky football. If we could only pick up our woeful home form we will climb the table. Dismal ref. Dismal stadium. Freezing cold. Glad to come away with a point in the end...

He's a hard worker but seems to have fallen out of favour now Sheridan has arrived. Doesn't seem to be anywhere near the first team squad at the moment. We haven't seen much of Nathan Ralph either ... bad luck with injuries and all that. I agree that it is still too early for 'must win games'...

Didn't see that one coming. Sheridan has got us organised, got a couple of decent loanees in and, most importantly, instilled a bit of self-belief in the squad. He's also lucky that a lot of injured players are fit again/getting fit. Play-offs here we come Actually, I will be very, very happy...

Lost 2-0 to Bath City. Well beaten as well.

You can add the 5-3 win versus Undy in our first friendly if you like. They had to move the fixture because Terry Butcher didn't like the abundance of sink holes and dog poo on their pitch. That's the sort of attention to detail I like. Away to BSS Bath City tonight.

We punched above our weight last season. This season I don't think we will do as badly as others have predicted elsewhere in this forum, but this seems a much more competitive league this season and I will be happy to avoid relegation. I'm pinning my hopes on the fact that there MUST be two...
