Next 3 games

We should be targeting 9 points but the injuries and makeshift defence could severely happen us especially if we have to play Tyreik Wright as a FB in a back four.

 

I'm gonna say 5 points, 1 win, 2 draws.

More than that will be decent, just the 5 will be mediocre.

 

Going to say 4 points, match our inconsistent output lately.

Every season we falter against sides that sit toward the bottom. But mainly, every season we struggle against Harrogate.

 

We must show our promotion credentials sooner or later.

 

4 points.

I am concerned about GA's moans/complaints after games which will starts to feed there way through to the players, if it hasn't already, who will feel they have a ready made excuse for the performance or result.

Problems are challenges to be overcome and it's his job to find solutions that provide a positive outcome.

 

I'm fully expecting 9 points.
Not necessarily from these next 3 games, but definitely at some point.

 

Both Harrogate and Morecambe beat us easily last season 3-0, so hopefully a big improvement on those results. Harrogate are a big bogey team for us and deadly Derek will have Morecambe fired up.

 

8 points minimum required.

 

8 points would be some achievement.

 

It's important to remain unbeaten, that's the main thing for morale and form over the next three games.

In terms of points return, 2 or 4 would be poor. 6 adequate, 8 very good. As long as we remain unbeaten, that's the key.

 

Nothing more nothing less than 10 points over the next 3 games

 

We’re not very good against Harrogate are we. Then we’ve got DA and Songo coming back to haunt us. Newport we should win. So that’s 3 points. Maybe.

 

Don't forget "he's no Lee Angol" too.

 

7 points would be a minimum return for me. We have to stay in and around the top 3. We have defenders coming back, hopefully to support those who have the shirt and not replace.

 

Agree with this.

Any promotion chasing team would be looking at these games, in isolation, and thinking each one should be a win.

 

Er, 8 impossible 7 would be good

 

Hoochys net bulging...

 

Just had a look as I thought we had a rough time last season against lower sides and baring the CBs, most the 11 we can throw out at the minute were here last season. Christ, I forgot how long this team yo-yoed between 12th and 15th place.

We lost 15 league games last season, taking out the opening day defeat as everyone was level at the time, but in the other 14 defeats, we lost 10 of those to teams who were at the time below us in the table. We played a team who were at the time in the relegation zone 5 times last season and lost 3 of those games. By contrast of our 19 wins, or 18 as our win against Colchester was their first game of the season, but in the other 18 wins, 11 of those were against teams who were at the time above us in the table.

Need to improve that record this season to be a contender, rather than leaving it late again to challenge.
