10 wins is another 30 points – would take us to nearly 50? I think that’s probably more than we’ll need. I wouldn’t be surprised if 40 points is enough this year.
Your probably right Ferrite so 8 wins it is then for 43 points and safety the countdown starts from next Saturday. If 40 points is all that may be needed explains why teams like Oldham are playing out nil nil draws.
Pugh’s not the greatest player in the world but covers a lot of ground and get’s the tackles in
Same summary as Oldham game:-
Runs around a lot
Can’t shoot
Can’t pass
No point winning tackles if you give the ball away again.
IMO he’s filling the space that should be filled by a creative midfielder.
Maybe try Beestin for Pugh then as he offers a bit more composure in there.
Beestin, Hippolyte, Hackney and leave Rowe sitting ?
If that Blackburn lad is coming in on loan, which looks like that’s the case, we still need another striker to line up along side him in place of Loft.
Another CB and a more creative CM wouldn’t go amiss either.
O’neil has gone on loan. Get Turan out on loan.
Not sure what’s going on with Hallam. Will he even be fit enough to start games in the future ?
Hallam could be the more creative midfielder we need but question is always fitness with him.

CT – Probably the best we can do at the moment.

CT – Yes, disappointed with Bunn yesterday after the Oldham performance, what is his best position?
WG “Another CB and a more creative CM wouldn’t go amiss either.”
CT – Can’t disagree.
WG “Get Turan out on loan.”
CT – Best of luck with that!!!
Hallam looked miles off fully fit yesterday when he came on, don’t think we can rely on sick note to come up with the goods. Probably get crocked in training before the Tranmere game.
Looking back I think this game was pivotal to the season, had we won we would have been out of the bottom two with a points gap and increased confidence from back to back wins, as it is Carlisle have now moved away from us, we are rooted in the bottom two and confidence especially amongst the supporters is low. It was a really bad game to lose.
The loss at Carlisle is also proving costly.
