Tough seven.I’ll go ten points , can’t see us getting anything out of the Vale and Oldham games , we seem to have negative vibes with those teams.And I’m banking on us winning the two home games and getting a win draw and loss from any permutation of the other three games..Fact is we have to start beating the likes of Port Vale and Oldham if we’re really promotion contenders let alone overhaul FGR.
Needless to say, Sam’s injury
Having given it a few more thoughts I will go 11.Tough seven.I’ll go ten points , can’t see us getting anything out of the Vale and Oldham games , we seem to have negative vibes with those teams.And I’m banking on us winning the two home games and getting a win draw and loss from any permutation of the other three games..Fact is we have to start beating the likes of Port Vale and Oldham if we’re really promotion contenders let alone overhaul FGR.
Needless to say, Sam’s injury is a real body blow but guess other teams are starting to get the same , it’s going to be a hard run in for everyone fighting for those promotion places. The rest of our players have to find those goals from somewhere , although he wasn’t scoring Sam was a handful up front.Maybe Mattie Jay will step up to the plate and get another good run , we certainly will need it.
Somehow don’t fancy the playoffs yet again if it comes down to that even though we have a completely different team from the last **** up .Too much of a lottery.
To be serious contenders for the autos we need to get maximum points from our two home games.
Away to Oldham I think we may have to be happy with a draw. Port Vale normally I would be happy with a draw but this is one of our games in hand that said a draw would not be a disaster.
Newport a must not lose game so happy with a draw……a win would be a real bonus.
Carlisle we really do have a good record against them so chance for 3 points although again a draw not a disaster.
Tranmere similar to Newport in every way.
So going for Oldham 1 point, Vale 1 point, Stevenage 3 points, Newport 1 point, Colchester 3 points Carlisle 1 point and Tranmere 1 point……total 11 points anything more would be a real bonus although I can’t help but feel after we have played those games we will have done well if it keeps us still realistically in the race for the autos.
This would give us a total of 72 points with 4 games still to play a possible total of 84 so although 3 of those games are at home it means that we probably need to get more than 11 points from our next 7 games.
Just as an aside Bradford City will have quite a say in how things finish as their next 3 games are home to Vale, Newport and Rovers.
The next two away to Northampton and Tranmere and their penultimate game also away to Sutton…..come on Sparky.
Need to go away and find a dark room to lie down in now lol.
