    Years of chaos at the club, much of it sorted out now.
    We have an experienced manager who has given us a great first half of the season.
    [​IMG]

    Its stunning that people call for a manager to be sacked at this point. Who the hell cares if we are boring, its league 2, promotion is all that matters. Some people dont seem to be able to accept we are nothing. We have to scrap our way out of this league any means necessary.

    We've had a period of injuries that have heavily influenced tactics;
    Palmer, Akpan, Donaldson, Devitt, Gibson
    Mccartan, Pritchard, Ismael, Cooke, Mellor/Henley

    Our best 11 includes 5/6 of those players.

    Thats all first team players, and its multiple attackers. The 442 we started the season with doesnt work without Donaldson. And it doesnt work when wingers have kept picking up injuries.

    Yet we still sit 4th, unbeaten in 8.

    We are back to 4 at the back. Donaldson and Devitt are close to returning. Time to start being positive. Boring Bowyer in League One is better than the chaos of looking for another manager.

    The 7 game unbeaten run didn’t feel like we had any momentum due to the nature of the performances. Hopefully today’s result will start to see confidence grow in which is now 8 games unbeaten. I can feel a solid run coming towards the end of the season to see us over the line. Confidence should really be high now.

    We look nowhere near good enough to cement a top 3 position and have struggled (and lost) against all the other teams occupying a playoff position. The perfect formula for a nearly season.

    Gômpers will love that tbf. “We go again” “great platform to build on” etc etc.

    We're EASILY going to finish in the top 3, whether you like the style of football or not.

    I hope so, but I’m struggling to see it and certainly don’t think it’s going to be easy as you’re making out.

    Time will tell I suppose

    Most of the stats suggest that we struggle against the better sides, particularly the ones we’re likely to face in the playoffs should we get there.

    'Nowhere near good enough to cement top 3' @Tolly856@Tolly856 ? How do you explain us being level on points with 3rd then?

    @Rcbantam@Rcbantam You know what also puts fans off - constant negativity, its draining. Football might not be the prettiest but you have to recognise how far we have come in a short space of time. Anyone remember Parkinsons first season? In fact, take the cup runs out of it I dont think the football was any better than what we are seeing now. Anyone remember Jurgen Klopps first year at Liverpool? He got a lot of unfair criticism but the fans gave him time and look where they are now.

    Bowyer is absolutely the man to take us forward, call me a 'happy clapper', I dont care, - just bored of everyone elses negativity

    Does it have anything to do with Crewe in 3rd place having a game in hand on us?

    I’m just going off what I’ve seen. We struggle/ look unconvincing in most games we play, and imo won’t sustain it until the end of the season. Great if we do, but don’t see us cementing a top 3 spot and staying there with our current level of performances
