Topics: 59So Jimmy gets his first maximum, thank god he saw sense and got Butterfield back in the team!!
Anyway with 15 left to play, this is how I hope it goes…
(1)Wrexham away – they are unbeaten at home and have the best home record in the league.
Verdict = Lose 0 points(2) Boreham Wood away – their home record is 17th in the league with most games drawn.
Verdict = Draw 1 point(3) Maidstone away – worst home form
In the league and second bottom of the form table.
Verdict = Win (Must win) 3 points(4) Eastleigh at home – their away record is 17th in the league 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats!
Verdict = win 3 points(5) Altrincham at home – Their away record is 18th with only 2 wins.
Verdict = Win 3 points(6) York away – 3rd bottom for home form in the league with 4W/4D/7L.
Verdict = Win 3 points(7) Solihull away – 16th in the home form
Table 5W/5D/6L.
Verdict = Draw 1 point(8) Wealdstone at home – 10th in the league for away form and 9th on current form (last 6 games).
Verdict = Draw 1 point(9) Notts County away – Top of the form table and unbeaten at home.
Verdict = Defeat 0 points(10) Torquay at home – They are 19th in the league for away from only 3 wins and 2 draws with 9 defeats.
Verdict = Win 3 points(11) Gateshead away – Bottom of the league for home form!!
Verdict = Win 3 points(12) Oldham at home – Oldham have been poor away from home losing 8 games out of 15 with only 1 win.
Verdict = Draw 1 point(13) Aldershot away – A solid home record with 6 wins and 2 draws losing 7.
Verdict = Draw 1 point(14) Southend at home – They are good away from home winning 5 and drawing 4.
Their form is 9th (last 6 played)
Verdict = Draw 1 point(15) Dorking away – ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE!!!
They are currently bottom of the form table (last 6 played)
Their home record reads 6 wins/3 draws/6 losses.
Verdict Win (Must Win) 3 pointsSo if that plays out that’s 27 points to add to our 26.
That’s 53 points and surely safety.We are currently the 10th best team in the form table.
Let’s have it!!!!
Scunthorpe till I dieAt least it’s going to be an interesting end to the season.
April is a very demanding month in terms of number of games to be played.
February 19, 2023 at 9:07 am #255826Good job we have a big enough squad now to cope then Rene.
February 19, 2023 at 9:30 am #255829Paring the squad in close season could be very tricky. We’ll probably be looking to bring in 3 or 4 decent players should we survive. Those to be shifted could be very numerous.
Probably already have close to enough quality for a title tilt if relegated.February 19, 2023 at 10:14 am #255832Would not be surprised if some clubs aren’t watching ogle and beestin with their recent performances,as for yesterday’s game bunker and Richards-Everton put in a great shift.
February 19, 2023 at 10:36 am #255834Doubt if we could afford Bunker.
February 19, 2023 at 11:12 am #255836Not a regular for a team that looks destined for L2, shouldn’t be too expensive or on too big a wage. Maybe he’s just a better player with some meat in his diet.
Difficult to know where we are regarding costs as all incomings have been “undisclosed”. Are we talking £10k for DFS, £20k for Chapman, £30k for Shields or would that be miles out?February 19, 2023 at 11:46 am #255839Remember Ogle was classed as a poor signing by many but it’s the same old some players just do well at different times or improve.

Topics: 59I honestly think we can stay up and there’s at least 9 teams who can realistically be relegated (including us)…
Eastleigh finished in 20th position last season on 46 points.
We need 20 points from 13 games to match that.
That’s 1.5 points per game.We’re on 26 points from 33 games.
That’s 0.78 points per game.We’ve being pottering along in a 1960s Anglia and now we need to achieve the performance of a 1990s XR2i for the final few laps.
Think the wheels will come off our beloved old Anglia.

Topics: 59Does anyone seriously still believe that we will stay up?
March 4, 2023 at 4:26 am #2565465% chance?
Back to back wins would give us a new platform on which to build.
Chances of back to back wins in our next two games – what odds would the bookies offer?March 4, 2023 at 9:36 am #2565544pts from the next 2 games will get us within 3 points of safety even I can see that.
