    @Bronco@Bronco yeah Jim OB is class also.

    Hopkins hardly made any signings and they’ve all been decent, Henry has decent calibre playing in the PL but he’s just old and passed it and probably blagged his way to 6 games thankfully he’s not with us anymore as he wasn’t good enough

    Jim OB and Caddid both been great

    We could close the thread but surely it's better to leave it here as a stark reminder to those who doubted him before he even got started. Where are they now?? Eating humble pie!

    You're a decent poster, but you bottomed out here.

    This is a shocker.

    Thoughts are we're still in the bottom 4.

    Yes, our performances have improved but not running around saying Hopkin is God already.
    He still needs to prove himself.

    I was one of those who questioned him, especially after the debacle at Gillingham.

    The turning point for me has been the recruitment of Anton McElhone. Fair play to Hopkin for identifying him and persuading him to join us.

    So yes, still lots to do, as Fordy says, we are still in the bottom 4. However, he has my full backing and hopefully he can continue to mastermind an unlikely great escape. Forget some fans talk of doing a Plymouth or Barnsley. I would happily take a finish in 20th place, and hopefully see a foundation in place in the summer for a play off push next season

    If we continue playing like we are, it would be an absolute travesty if we finished 20th.

    Taking it game by game but like you say if we keep going and pick up 10-12 points in January then we will be looking towards mid table and beyond.

    Oxford, Walsall, Scunthorpe and Rochdale.

    Four must win games and the aggregate score is 14-0. From where we were, that is nothing short of miraculous.

    I think we be confident that David Hopkin knows what he is doing and is finding his feet in this league now.

    Hopefully, this run will continue through January and we can get clear of the bottom four.
