    We always seem to be saying if we can make the most of our next 3 games but never take advantage

    Think this will be our downfall this season... We need to get on a run but just can't see it happening

    Maybe we'll scrape the playoffs but think we will not progress .. we're just way too negative

    And just think all those doom mongers that thought the draw at Wimbledon was a result to get embarrassed about. Rochdale was the bad one , not Wimbledon nor Stockport away!

    I remember fans saying this under Bowyer when we were slipping out of the playoff picture, just need to take advantage of our next 3 games. When we got to Wembley under Stuart our two best players were Marshall and Cullen, a winger and midfielder. This season I'd say our two best were Lewis and Crichlow, a keeper and central defender. And that shows in how negative we are at times.

    All I can gather from today is that we are a week or two away from potentially being 14th or 15th place, back in familiar territory.

    I think the next four games can make or break the season. A decent haul from these could set us up for a good run, equally a bad run here could see us drop around mid table and not recover. My worry is i've not seen enough better performances to make me think we could go on a decent long winning run.

    10 points is not unreasonable to ask for with three home matches. In the same way Carlisle have gone on a run winning their last three.

    Inevitably we'll have at least two draws and the "good point against a difficult team" brigade out.

    Draws are no good at the moment really. Wins are what will push us up the table.

    There is something about this that resonates with me. And judging by the flat as a fart atmosphere usually around Valley Parade despite 16,000+ being there i'd say its not just you and me. There's just not enough games like the Salford one, games that get you off your seat wanting more of the same. Lets see if Hughes can actually surprise us all on Saturday in what is a massive game against Mansfield and play an attack minded formation. I won't hold my breath...

    It's league 2. I want us out of it ASAP and don't care how we play to achieve that. If we do it with class performances that will be a bonus but for me, results are all that matter at this stage.

    Today’s results show the indifference of this division, anyone can beat anyone on the day, inconsistency is rife. Teams who have aspirations of promotion can only grind out results and it shows with the results week in week out.

    It wasn't so much the result at Wimbledon or Rochdale, it was more the nature of the result. Pi55 poor.

    Hahaha getting all giddy because results have gone our way .......... how fooking embarrassing it is that we are relying on others to prop up that shower :( we should be in the top 3 but this is what we are ...........a club whose season ticket sales comfortably beat the top 3 combined are relying on others to get us out of this league ..........it’s a shambles yet loons are happy with it

    You're putting @Fordy117@Fordy117 to shame.

    Even @Rcbantam@Rcbantam would struggle to match this level of apathy...

    That's a nice sentiment, but the absolute opposite of the truth.

    Performances, ultimately, don't matter to the league table - only results.

    Performances only matter in so far as trying to predict the next outcome - but a performance means absolutely nothing without a result.

    No chance we come straight back down.

    Getting up is the challenge. Staying up will be easier than going up.

    100% agree that the Rochdale result was the bad one. The thing is that no matter how poor we were that night we had three points in the bag until the referee did what he did. Rochdale were never getting back into that game in a million years until he gave that ridiculous penalty, the issue was how we failed to react to the adversity.

    We’ve had a few shocking penalty calls this year go against us and I can’t remember any that have gone for us.

    In Jan we're already hoping other teams fail (hopefully for the next 20 games ) to get anywhere near the top 6

    After all the inactivity,i thought we would have loads of games in hand,but it turns out we only have one on most teams.There are in fact several teams in league 2 who have only played 24 games,so who knows what the situation will be when everyone has played the same number of matches,which may be some time off.

    One of our best performances happened very recently - against Salford - cracker of a game, both teams going for it, and we won with 3 excellent goals.

    Should Mansfield be worried about the free-scoring Bantams? ;)
