Had a quick look at the highlights of our next 3 opponents last games.
Walsall defensively look dire and grabbed a goal with a lucky deflection off Matt.
Crewe look similar. Beatable due to poor defence.
Swindon I'm worried about. Seem to be an inform team. Shipped 3 but also scored 3 vs Port Vale.
I'd say Swindon the toughest of the 3 upcoming matches

6 points would be a good return and should see us sat nicely with a view on 7th spot.

it really is a curious league this season, teams seem to put together these bursts of runs of winning about 5 in a row and look unstoppable then all of a sudden they do the exact opposite, so many teams this season have done this, i think around the time we played MK dons (1st time) they were a winning machine, now look at them, salford recently had a great run, now 1 win in 6 for them, we just need to hang on to the play offs then hit our best run at the right time, this league is still there for the taking.

Add Colchester to that too, also hitting form at the wrong time (for us)

Next 4 games probably will dictate how much of a shout we are in with. Tough games, and we need some consistency

If Walsall and Crewe look shaky defensively then we need to go on the attack and let Pepple loose on them.

Swindon very much Jekyll and Hyde.

I think we'll get 5 points out of the 3 games.

I'd shake on 5 points now. Ideally the three v Crewe.

Really think Walsall are there for the taking Saturday, i'd take a point at Swindon and we should be winning our home games.

The key to Saturday is scoring first. Do that and their confidence will hit the floor.

I'm so looking forward to Saturday. It can't come quickly enough.
I had a dream last night that Dobs scored an exact replica of the Tony Lormor goal against them and then performed the same celebration.
Come on Dobs you can do it.
Dreams can come true ( Gabrielle says they can ) ;)

Apparently dreams only come true if you don?t share them. Old wives tale I think, so you?ve put the hex on us!

Away form and beating the dead rubber sides at home will dictate whether we make it or not.

Personally cannot believe Bradford are third. A very negative and one dimensional outfit. Just shows what bad injuries have done for us.

Two big mistakes by Jamie Grimes cost us against Bratfud - his only mistakes this season I reckon. Other than that we took them to pieces - a very poor side on the day.

No less than 9 , we're getting players back, and need to get on a run. Let's kick start our late run for the autos
all we are saying, is give us ...a goal, or 2+

Maybe you should look at their recent signings, my tip for top spot.
God I hate this league.

This.

They're seeing what was a charge to the title rapidly turn to a stumble.

We get a lead and desperation sets in...
