Said on our forum (not Owlstalk) you remind me of us last season, control games but fail to put games away and drop points, we dropped 21 points last season.

We have the players to play the pretty stuff but we also have experienced heads who can grind wins out, battle etc. It sometimes isn't pretty but give me 3 points over plaudits.

The first ten minutes Saturday will be important, we let Plymouth have possession but we were more incisive when we got it and took an early lead which we rarely looked like relinquishing.

We need to weather your storm, midfield will be some battle, just hoping Keogh starts given what your fans are saying, Chaplin is my main concern mind.

Mental that we've conceded only 7 away in 13 with over half coming in 2 games.
Yeah I have to say I am sick of seeing opposition fans lauding us as the ‘best team we’ve played this season’ or the ‘most impressive league 1 side in recent years’ etc and then watching us a week later have 25 shots, scoring just the once or and throwing away a couple of points when the other side inevitably equalises late.

We’ve got the players, we’ve got the skill. It’s a better set of players than most of the last ten years (including our playoff championship side) but the winning mentality to see games out is what is missing. You saw the way we crumbled at your place. We were absolutely the better side that day and yet a draw was a fair result as we crumbled as soon as you scored the goal to get you back in the game. And yes that equaliser a few minutes later was miles offside but it masked the fact that we had from nowhere gone from controlling a game and looking professional away from home to panicking like headless chicken and scrambling to clear our lines. Our passing, classy football was gone and we were just praying for the best. Same thing happened at Charlton when they scored twice in injury time. Same thing at home to Cheltenham when they too scored in the 96th minute. Same thing against Plymouth. All of these games we were the better team but I came away from it thinking that a draw was fair from the way we let them back in. It’s our problem.

When we’re good, we really are good. But mentally we are shot if we let teams hang around in games rather than killing them off when we could and should.

That goals conceded stay away from home is very impressive though. Chaplin is indeed the key for us. His ability to pass the ball in behind defences is magic. He’s a quality finisher as well. Watch out for Leif Davis at left back. Paid a million for him but he will be sold for 5m in the summer if we don’t go up. He’s already our most valuable asset and he’s only been here half a season. Can easily see why he played 41 games for bournemouth last year when they won the championship.

1-1 Saturday with yous scoring late and me having another 2 hour train journey back to Essex with the hump.

Sold out Oxford on Tuesday 1475ish.

Sure we've taken 1800 before - is the allocation reduced?

Plymouth take some really impressive followings when they're going well, especially considering getting in and out of Devon is the ultimate ball ache.

Think it was 628 Cambridge at Oakwell. Decent numbers but very little in the way of vocals, not that there was much for them to shout about

And we've sold our allocation of 1,055 for Cheltenham next weekend

Looked about 600-700. Why don't they give out numbers?

Thanks. That sits about right with home fan numbers. I'll go with 650. Sometimes Burton police do, but Burton, Fleetwood and Sheffield Wednesday are the only ones being awkward with giving no figures!

Been allocated 2089 for Bolton, I would imagine they’d all be sold or close to if for no other reason than a pissup in Manchester.

You’re in the upper tier. Fair play if you sell them, think you brought 1,100 last time out.

Im not saying our support is amazing or anything like that but we’ve managed good numbers away for most of the season even to less shall we say appealing places so it’ll be decent enough. It’ll definitely be more than that amount last time which if memory serves was the Bruno Ribeiro / Smurthwaite losing complete fucking track of his mind season where we went down.

Expect we will sell out, our fan base is bigger now and we’ve taken over 3000 to Sheffield and 2700 to Derby and this should have a similar attraction with Manchester day out etc.

We generally took a couple of thousand to Bury when we were less supported than at the moment.
