I've just looked at the table and we're fourth, have lost three games out of 16 and have a hard-working, passionate team. I'm excited. There now cannot be any doubt whatsoever that Shaun Derry's black and white army will lead us to the Championship and eventually to world domination and beyond. Someone's got to win promotion, after all. It's about time it was us.

 

Keep this at the top if you agree with the following:

 

WE ARE GOING UP SAY WE ARE GOING UP!

It would be nice, I think it may depend on which loan signings we can keep/acquire. Dexter Blackstock might be a good shout, but it will depend on many things, including if SD & GA think he is the right fit.We will need game changers on the bench to maintain this push.

A bloke on match days has been telling me he's joining us for the past 3 months.

If Blackstock did come down, he would do a good job in this league but I do feel it's nothing more than a rumour. If there was any truth in it, media especially people like Robin Helicopter would pick it up.

A lot depends where we stand when the transfer window opens up, yet I do like singing the "WE ARE GOING UP" song.

PS. I thought this was about something @Joe Jones wrote, he writes for the website 'We are going up".. lol

I really, really hope you are right but there is a long way to go, hey we can dream though can't we?

 

All together now................WE ARE GOING UP, SAY WE ARE GOING UP.

If we do praise to @DangerousSausage, if not. We now have our scapegoat.

Not that PON needs one.

This season should teach us that splashing the cash doesn't equal success. This season we probably have the lowest budget since returning to this division.

 

Last season 74 points was enough to get into the play-offs. So we need 45 points from our remaining 30 games, or 1.5 points a game. We're currently averaging 1.8 points per game.

 

We just need 15 wins. It's easy. 20 years of lower-division football are finally at an end, and happy, carefree days in the Championship and derby wins against Florist are within our grasp. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh I've always believed you have to spend wisely.

Some managers never accessed the risk of injuries, so from what I've been told about or seen in comments never had checks on what they're like as a player or a person. Derry mentioned last year in the Youth Award Night that he wouldn't waste the money he'd be given and that either him or Greg would personally go speak to a player 'the old fashioned' way before making a decision on offering a contact.

It's paying off.

Some clubs barely spend money yet have success based on playing wages alone, I.E no transfer fees. Free agents get a lot of bad press but really, it's a suitable system for our league and if sides like Walsall and other teams can use it wisely then so can we.

You're spot on what you said.

Monday's Motivation in Full Swing.

 

But agree 100% It's now time we believe.

If only we could drum this into the kop and manage all to be vocal for at least 70 minutes.

WE ARE GOING UP, SAY WE ARE GOING UP!

We should perhaps be wary of pressure but harm in trying to give vocal support.

It's something I'd like to see, we should be louder. It's different at away games, which is odd but perhaps we should see it more so at home. I recall at Barnsley how eerie it had became after going 2-0 down but Thompson's strike change that and I do believe the singing helped.

i believe we will be fine, will always be thankful for a mid table finish but chasing the promotion dream does require support. we are going up! we are going up!

I'M IN...

and can we have the kop back to this please

Do you have a shot at promotion? Yes. Do I believe we'll go up? No. Injuries and suspensions will take their toll and we don't have a deep enough squad. We don't have a goalscorer other than Thompson at the moment. We rely heavily on loanees who could return to their parent club. This season has already been a success. I'd be happy with a top 10 spot. 

Of course it's not a foregone conclusion. We could still fall flat on our faces and miss out on automatic promotion. Having to book an expensive hotel near Wembey for the play-off final would be a pain, especially as it's only a week before the FA Cup final. I suppose I'd better start saving just in case.

I'll buy you a dangerous bun for your dangerous sausage if we get promoted. Can't say fairer than that......
