    Let’s just start by beating Salford first and then move on to the next match. We need do our talking on the pitch.

    Apart from the bits about training at a school and owning the stadium, that's a very good post. Ffs I've agreed with Fordy twice in a week now.

    I have faith that a couple of those ahead will blow up. The question is will we be good enough to take advantage and indeed put pressure on them. This can go right down to the tape.

    If Reeves am done McCartan leave then so be it.. I wouldn't boo them if they play for another club against us.

    I don't slag players off at grounds.

    If they can read as I am sure they can, not sure it would help them with;

    If Reeves am done McCartan leave then so be it

    Lets keep focussed on one game at a time and get the full support behind the boys, then it is up to them.

    My very optimistic prediction is:

    Salford - Draw
    Orient - Win
    Port Vale - Draw
    Macclesfield - Win
    Exeter - Lose
    Colchester - Win
    Forest Green - Lose
    Crewe - Draw
    Northampton - Draw
    Walsall - Win

    Top ten of the table looking like this:

    Pos Team P GD Pts
    1 Swindon 46 +35 92
    2 Crewe 46 +30 88
    3 Cheltenham 46 +29 82
    4 Plymouth 46 +20 82
    5 Exeter 46 +16 82
    6 Northampton 46 +21 77
    7 Port Vale 46 +12 75
    8 Colchester 46 +13 70
    9 Bradford 46 +9 70
    10 Salford 46 +3 61

    I predict 14 points based on the ratio at what the new/old regime has started us out at.
    Whats that, 68 points??
    Don't ask where those points will be picked up.
    Win on Saturday will shake the monkey off our backs regards away points tallies.

    Much prefer the Vale match than games against the likes of Forest Green and Salford. A proper shithole with nutty fans against two money backed sides.

    Mathematically I don't think it is but physiologically I'd say it is. If we can end this winless away run against one of the home teams in the division then you give ourselves a chance and get the monkey off our back. If we are to have any chance of sneaking 7th place then we've got to get a minimum of 1 win away from home which if we don't get tomorrow looks less and less likely with Port Vale, Exeter, Northampton and Forest Green only left to play away.

    Forest green are terrible at the minute. They were also terrible when they beat us at valley parade when they were 'in form'. I'm not surprised they have stopped winning and was only a matter of time. Forest green away is very winnable, and a game we should be winning if we want a top 7 spot. Likewise today.

    We have an element of control over the remainder of the season in that we have so many games against teams above or around us, that we can take points and gain on many of them.

    To stand any chance, we need a good 3-4 players to really step up, mainly in CM and CD. I think in O’Donnell, Novak and Donaldson there is quality and personality to impact those around them however they need more support. Reeves, BRE and AOC need to seriously step up both performances and influence on others. Unfortunately given this hasn’t really happened all season there is no indication as to why this will change now, but we can always hope. Fortunately we now have a manager with a leader and winner mentality, lets see if it can rub off on the players.

    Today is as big a game for result as it is mindset. Get the hoodoo off our back, then you never know what can happen.....

    I think you're being harsh on BRE, O'Connor and Reeves there and far too generous with Novak and Donaldson.
