TOPIC: Down to 13th in League

Terrible slump.

I've heard Steve Patt is having a showdown meeting with Curle tonight in the Cumberland and that Gregg.Abbott is taking over on a temporary basis until Christmas.

Couple of games in hand, be in play offs in no time at all

Perfect time to bring a few faces in to freshen up the place. or not.

Too much ground to make up especially as our forwards are suffering a goal drought. Chances of automatic promo disappearing rapidly.

Automatic promotion is long gone to be fair. Play-offs still possible but looking like we'll struggle to get above 7th at the moment. Should be able to overtake most of 7th-12th after the games in hand provided we don't screw up massively.

Get a grip folks two straight wins and we are right back into play off contention we have games in hand on everyone

Its hardly a lost cause cant believe folk are writing this teams chances off they have shown more fight and determination than any of our teams for many a year

all i'm saying is we have looked flat, not much energy to our play for weeks now, just need a boost, which a couple players can bring.

we have got lost in the fa cup and missed the whole of January transfer window

Too early to start looking at the table and saying we're too far back. However, we do need to regain some momentum and find our goalscoring form again. Games in hand or not, a run of good form could see any team come out of the pack and make a late run.

games in hand over everyone bar Accrington, 2 of them games v 2 of the bottom 4 currently and the other game against Accrington.

Both Accrington games in a fortnight are gonna be absolutely huge in the season as long as we take points in the other games in hand
The auto places are gonna be between Pompey Northampton Oxford and Plymouth (when they get out of this rut they're in) then it's 3 more. Accrington, us (when we get out of this rut we are in) and one out of Bristol rovers and Wycombe for the other 3 places.

We play Accrington home and away in the league in the space of 10 days in a couple weeks, will be happy with 4 points from them and that'll put us right back in the mix.

The other 2 games we have in hand over most clubs are Hartlepool at home and Dagenham away. 6 points from them please

A noggin of Blac and we'll soon be back

Interesting that you both seem to be writing off Mansfield's chances when they are actually the team in the play off place! Yes they've played more games than anyone else but they actually have the points already in the bag - we don't!

Personally I think the play-offs are anyone from Oxford to us looking at the current table. There are way too many games left to narrow it down to "Us or Wycombe" or any other such simplistic situation.

Anyone could get there, we don't know but Mansfield I think they're gonna tail off.



Probably gonna be us that tails off now I've said that

Get the three points off Accy this coming weekend and we'll be right back on course.

I prefer points in the bag rather than games in hand, And don't forget we only got a pityfull draw against York who were bottom of the league, Is that playoff form I don't think...

Back on track excellent win today

soon be back in play offs

That's York, our bogey side though. We can't beat them for whatever reason, Hartlepool can't seem to beat us, or keep us from scoring 3 past em, and daggers can be a bit hit and miss
