    They've no record of getting team up. We would just have to hope.

    However, the aim for the club has to be top 3 next season if we don't go up this.

    Plus they'll sit back and defend and we have very little creativity if we stick with the same team. God help us if they score first because they won't play as openly as Stevenage or Forest Green

    There is every reason for optimism the basis of the team which have done so well since T&S have been in charge will be here young players like Staunton Watt Scales and FCD will have another year under their belt and will continue with their progress and we are promised further signings in the summer. I am looking forward to it a,ready

    I agree. There'll have to be decisions about the forwards on Novak and Donaldson and we definitely need more central midfield options. The basis is there and if we recruit as well as January then we should be positive.

    To be fair for me we need 3-4 quality players and think we meet our target of top 3 with ease.

    On that we probably agree right back to compete with FCD a good central midfielder a different type of striker two if we can’t sign Cooke and cover competition for left back if Wood stays. Then depending who else is retained more will be needed but we have a good solid base

    I agree. We have the basis of a squad capable of the top 3. 3-4 quality additions, and another 2-3 replacements of squad players and top 3 should be our aim all day long.

    I agree and it’s probably why they’ve been a victim of their own success in a way. We’re averaging nearly 2 points a game under them, but only 1 per game over the last 8 games. Had that been reversed the feeling would probably be more positive, if we carry on at a point a game until the season finishes it’ll feel very flat.

    Agree Fordy, similar to Bolton in January when they brought in Lee and Williams in particular. We need players who are going to come in and automatically improve the starting 11, however over the last 5 years under Rupp when has that happened?

    Agree! Had we started the season with this squad, we would certainly be looking at POs now. 3/4 decent additions and correct formation should see us easily make top 3 with the probability of staying up.

    They have indeed but that has no bearing on the future.

    Hopefully with Lee Turnbull in place he can identify the necessary and acquire the quality needed.

    There is nothing to suggest they can’t continue in the same vein

    Being in league 2 is hardly the fault of Trueman, Sellars or Sparks, just comparing an earlier season where position was similar under Parkinson to now. However I know you don’t like facts getting in the way of a good argument, so I will leave you and your mates to your gloom. You still maintain we have to win every game? Not possible.

    Hate to say it but, the home commentary team on IFollow were even worse than our two.

    Scales always seemed to pass the ball backwards to FCD, and Evans ONLY contribution seems to be from set pieces.
    Just jogs around trying to keep out of the way of any tackles.

    Your right their fighting for their league 2 lives, but if we don’t win Fordy and his chums will have a meltdown and demand half time sackings of the entire management team, Sparks and the kit man.

    Andy K's grown on me massively this season, my flatmate down here in Bristol that's a chelsea fan found him saying oh no oh no every time stevenage had a vaguely threatening moment very amusing
