Butler apart, Money's additions to the squad have proved be woeful. He has succeeded in building the most lack lustre group of players I have seen in over 40 years. Exactly why a player who struggled to impress at Torquay is going to improve us is beyond me. If we go up it will be thanks to the players acquired by previous managers and dependent upon the 'manager' thinking about selections, positions and tactics. Unbelievable what's happened since PM went.
:lol: You keep making me laugh, because with two away wins and three away draws, a total of 9 points,
that is nearly 40% of what Merson managed to get in 2 and a bit years away from home! :lol: :lol: :lol:
We are top of the league. We played very poorly last night (bar the first 20 minutes) and got a result. We COULD have won it. A different player got on the score sheet (important, as I can see Butler being rested on Saturday), and the team showed its limitations to DCI Dosh without surrendering a point.
As Gaz and MMF were saying last nght, we have targets, and the first target is 10 points from ever five games. The first 5 game block we got 13 points from 15...the second 5 game block we got 10 points from the 15...this is our third 5 game block and we've got 1 point from 1 game. We've got to fancy wins on Saturday and at Chester - that is 7 points. Wycombe at home is a tough game, a draw as a minimum there. 8 points. Then Accrington away, surely a win? 11 points, and we are off to the races with 34 points and a goal difference of at least +16. 34 points from 15 isn't promotion form, it is Championship form. And though we can expect our usual January/February dip, we are still looking at least at 85 points this season. We SHOULD get more, because I honestly don't see us losing at home more than once or twice. I think it was Matt Busby who said "if you win your home games, and draw your away games, then you will win the Championship" - in our current respect home/away form, that sums us up perfectly.
We all said at the start of the season that we'd accept the play offs. We finished 24 out of 24 in League One last season, and now we are top. The turnaround has been immense. People should stop moaning and recognise that we are playing above ALL expectations this season.
