most sides in action on Tuesday with postponed fixtures.

we face forum banter kings Mansfield (although I guess the banter is really just with Wrexham and they probably aren't arsed about us) who are in inconsistent form and could be a cheeky bet for the mid-table trophy this season.

Sure to get the backlash from Birmingham on Tuesday. Can see a heavy defeat sadly. Let's hope if they do score Stanno gets one.

Out of form and missing Lee gregory it’s an interesting one.

We’re better away by some distance, losing only 2 - deservedly so at lincoln, and wt wrexham despite being the better side.

We’ve a league run of wycombe away, huddersfield home charlton away, rotherham home, peterborough away, reading away, bolton at home and lincoln home - a run that will almost certainly put pay to a position that maybe we’re fortunate to be in.

I’d be delighted to match a point a game in that run and expect nothing at wycombe tuesday.

We had any update on Gregory? Desperately missed him today.

Yeah not expecting anything Tuesday against a Wycombe side that will stay in that promotion battle I think, we are usually a potent threat offensively (excluding the last two) so I think we will get back to scoring goals I just doubt we can keep them out.

I heard it was a scan on his knee, nothing more.

Could (and hopefully is) bollocks, but if he’s out for a while it’s going to be a massive loss with a capital M.

Evans was poor by his standard today but has to take the lead if this comes to pass with gregory, as said on stagsnet it was perverse that akins came off when Waine came on as he’ll need either akins or boateng to feed off - the lads too slight to do anything on his own.

Like you i expect fuck all tuesday night and would eagerly take a point now

Wycombe being top is something I don't think will last, but how they are there is some doing. Is it top quality players they have? Some would argue no, but the coaching staff are working miracles with them. I'd go to Adams Park wanting a point due to their current form.

Very possible, if not probable, we won’t last in the auto spots, but I’d be disappointed now if we didn’t at least get a playoff spot.

Wrexham fans who’ve only seen us on the first day of the season and thought, hang on, they weren’t that great - well, can’t blame you.

But I would say that back then there were a good few new players that had not bedded in yet, and the manager didn’t yet know his best first XI.

That’s not the case any more.

Two strengths:

Multiple goalscorers - we’re not reliant on a single lead scorer where if they get broken, we’re screwed
Strength in depth - we can rotate most positions and still have a decent side, as opposed to having to rely on squad players who’ll do a job, but you’re not that confident in them.

What can still go wrong:

1) Loanees going back.
Ipswich are unlikely to want midfielder Humphreys back (he’s been excellent for us, but EPL level? Probably not).

Similarly I can’t see Caleb Taylor getting in a West Brom side going for promotion.

Bolton’s Morley is a bigger question mark. Evatt doesn’t seem to rate him, but may recall him anyway so as not to give a L1 rival any more of a leg up.

2) Players getting nicked in Jan

Financially I’m not too worried about this, we have a billionaire sugar daddy. But that’s not the only reason players get their heads turned, it’s a short career and if a bigger club comes in for anyone, you could understand the temptation of playing for bigger crowds, it’s not *just* the £££.

3) Manager getting nicked

We’ve already had speculation about Bloomfield going to Coventry. If we keep winning then bigger clubs are going to come a-poaching.

But I think Bloomfield may feel he’s got a shot at the Championship anyway with us - and a lot of the types of Champ clubs who may be interested are the basket case ones like QPR.

Or of course we could just choke for whatever reason.

But I think we’ve shown potential to beat a variety of teams, from the promotion contenders to the strugglers - we don’t only turn it on for the big games, but equally we don’t crumble when faced with a top-end side.

Wycombe didn't look amazing opening day but you didn't look bad and there was a lot of good stuff about your play so I'm not surprised to see you improving and doing well. Kone also looked a handful so again not a surprise to see him doing well.

For a newcomer into the league the surprise is we were told the jump up in quality was huge from League 2 to League 1 but, this season at least, it isn't- Birmingham have a great squad but some problem with consistency but apart from them everyone is much of a muchness apart from a handful of poor teams down the bottom (and even they can improve as Shrewsbury have shown).

certainly seen the gap at the top and bottom come closer together.
Yesterday first half was a complete shitshow and a continuation of how we played against Stockport.
Second half we scored two hit the post and had a perfectly good goal disallowed........Chalk and cheese.
We are getting a few players back but he is still going two in midfield to get McAtee in his starting eleven.
On paper the 11 who started yesterday was a very strong 11 for this league yet because of how Evatt sets us up we can be woeful.
We will be like this until at least January when we will hopefully have both Dempsey back fit and Morley recalled from Wycombe. Tuesday that starting 11 should brush Cambridge aside but because yet again he will set up the same. The is every chance we will get rolled over.

Stockport County.
Wycombe are no fluke at all. Very good all round team.

Injuries could effect them but that's the same for every team.

Our run in is a bit sickening over the next month and a bit and it starts Tuesday.

I've been impressed with Wycombe, deserve to be up there, the team just seems to flow very well. I actually don't know how integral Morley is to you guys in midfield, Evatt has never really given him a decent run, so I'm glad to se him do well. I wouldn't blame the lad if he wanted to stay there, but he won't be cheap :)

Birmingham (H) - to win, we’re gonna have to score twice because it’s obvious that Stansfield will score.

Tuesday night, under the lights, full house, anything can happen, and would snap your hand off for a point but can only see a Brum win here.

Will be a meltdown if we don’t win but with 1 win in 9 and playing horrendously, we will do well to win.

It would be nice to start on the front foot and try and go ahead. Rather than our usual game plan of letting the opposition attack us whilst we try and nick a goal, which usually results in us going 1 down and having to change the entire system to get a goal

Can't see us getting anything against Huddersfield, we usually struggle against the top 6 sides, on paper this game and Barnsley away in a months time are the only tricky fixtures we have against sides near the top in the next 6-8 weeks, so we need to start picking points up in the next two months with a kinder set of fixtures.

Would expect a few changes with a busy schedule coming. We have to try and get to January hoping certain attacking players stay fit, so we can ship out those not contributing and replace them.

We'll likely see a more open game than we did at Stevenage on Saturday where the poor conditions combined with us settling for a draw made for a poor game.

Away at Wrexham.

Doesn't feel as though we've quite got as many points as we deserved over the last three games as we head into another tough away game. Two teams who aren't fussed about having the ball, one who has a good home record and one who has a good away record.

The lateness of our subs on Saturday was probably an indication of who Skubala will go with tomorrow night as we try and manage the minutes of players. For example, it's usually McGrandles or Hamilton and the latter only got on for 10 minutes on Saturday. McGrandles isn't really a Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday player, although it actually wouldn't surprise me if we went with a more solid midfield of Erhahon, McGrandles and Hamilton initially and Moylan coming from the bench.

Montsma isn't at a Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday stage yet but he will have to play if Jackson doesn't make tomorrow after 6 weeks out. I don't think SKubala will want to move Dariwka from RWB to accommodate that either.

Pretty sure Cadamarteri will be in for Makama up front and Jefferies for Duffy at LWB.

Any Wycombe fans on here? Where’s best place to park that’s not on that industrial site?

If going direct to the ground, I've parked easily on the housing estate on the hill - perhaps Arundel Road or Roundwood Road. Usually we go to the Hour Glass and park on Gallows Lane IF early enough.

Take heart. Apparently there's never been a team who have won 7 games on the spin (aren't you on 9?)...that have done so, and have not failed to get promotion that season! Dunno how true that staement is mind.

Yup, this is pretty much the best bet.

Yeah, I’m not doing our chances down, I’m just all too well aware how easy it is to choke if everything isn’t going the right way.

At the beginning of the season I thought we’d have another round of being decent but not quite good enough for the playoffs, like 8th-10th, and nothing I saw from a signing perspective really convinced me otherwise.

So I have to consider anything better than 8th a success.

Even if (and it’s a massive if) we did get promoted this season, the Championship is an absolute bitch of a division, with a bunch of clubs spunking cash up the wall left, right and centre.

Look at the likes of Pompey, far bigger fanbase than us, decent resources, promising young manager, and yet…

So I’m just mindful to be careful what I wish for.

Tonight is the start of a tough, tough period, obviously playing top of the division tonight, 7 of our next ten are above us, admittedly we do have games in hand against most including Stockport who played three more games than us!

I’ll snatch a point and run away happily, but I doubt we can keep Wycombe out and we are suddenly not firing upfront either. Gregory being back would be welcomed.

Generally done alright against Bolton at The Abbey, until last year's Lyle Taylor induced self combustion, so not feeling too apprehensive about tonight.

Can't see us scoring but if we can grind out another a point it wouldn't be a disaster. A win would be rather nifty though, so fingers crossed.

Personally could do with the local bragging rights and this week is a double header!

Looking forward to this one tonight, mildly optimistic we might get something from the game if we bring our A game and get stuck into them from the off. Bolton sometimes seem to struggle with our narrow pitch, but they are stuffed full of class players so they really shouldn’t. Perfect, still autumn day here so the pitch should be in good nick, and a decent midweek crowd in the offing with the student offers. Big Dan not playing against his parent club, so Loft will surely start, with Lavery coming off the bench if we are still in the game at 60 minutes.

Our pitch is thankful for the day off.

Is it too early to be looking t other teams fixtures and hoping they lose?

We're extremely unlikely to score (and if we do then it's likely going to have gone in off a Bolton player), so the question is can we keep out Bolton for 90 minutes, and the answer to that is probably not.

No Lee Gregory again and he’s stuck with Akins upfront who played like it was his first time Saturday. Really does highlight how despite the fact our first choice front two is good for this level, our lack of quality to replace them needs addressing in January.

No Louie Reed either in the squad either, got nobody else that can do his role in midfield for distribution, hope that’s nothing major.

Not at the races so far. More backwards passes then forwards. Neither side looked like scoring really. They've had 1 half chance, Burton made a good save and we hit the bar late on with a header from Brunt.
