It may be a little early but with our up and down season would anybody like totake a stab at our final points total come May time.
I'll put my neck out and say.....er 72

5 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats = 67 is my guess.

Based on current form you are far too optomistic.

After one win in 10, you think we'll be unbeaten in 9 of the final 13?

Depends on the impact of the new players I suppose

[spireiteluke]

Well at least we have one point more than we did last season, lol

Yes and today suggests that we might be.

Only if we play teams as poor as Brentford every week.

We'll see. A tenner says it will be 67 or above, below I lose.

I stand by my pre season posts, and whatever it takes to clinch 7th place.

I did predict 5th bottom on GD last season though

To be fair though, most are.

LR has to instill the killer instinct, and go for the jugular from kick off.

EVERY SINGLE GAME.

Yeah, why not. The poor form just cant go on, can it?

They weren't pleasant on the eye, but prior to yesterday they were unbeaten this year. Their direct football was hard to cope with and will prove to be the case for everyone else who plays them in the remainder of this season.

That was certainly no game for weaklings. I suspect Brentford have bludgeoned their way up the table, they didn't have much else to show. That doesn't make them easy to beat, however - the way we refused to be intimidated and fought for every ball was magnificent, and should finally give the lie to those who say that Rico is unable to motivate his players.
All we need to take from them is their approach to set-pieces. Every one of theirs was exactly right - hardly any of ours were.

He's certainly not lost the dressing room and that was my biggest concern. All match both Rico and Sellars were constanly encouraging and driving the players on. It's probably the most vocal I've seen Rico and it was nice to see both he and Sellars telling the players to remain calm but committed.

And how many games had Brentford gone unbeaten before yesterday???????????????

A lot of big physical lumps, kicking owt that moves, banging long high balls, stopping the opposition playing by any means etc. A Martin Allen team still in all but name but plenty on here would like to see that every week for us

Just look at the Brentford messageboards and they all say how poorly they played yesterday. A battling performance yes but one devoid of quality. I saw little to suggest we can make up the potential 5 points just to sneak ahead of Stockport.

But isn't that exactly what the majority say on these boards every time we lose as well?????
