Yesterday makes the rest of March look intense 😬

Last 4 years 3rd place were: Bradford 78pts Mansfield 86pts Northampton 83pts Bristol Rovers 80pts So yes 85 points should do it, maybe 83 as this year is very competitive unlike the run away year of Stockport, Wrexham and Mansfield. Is a further 22 points achievable? 6 wins, maybe. 4 draws, fingers very crossed. Only 3 defeats. It's squeaky time 😝

Isn't Luker injured and hoping to come back? It so that makes 8 out and 8 stay. 50%. Is that good, bad or indifferent?

Has to be L1 in my opinion. We will do well to make the automatics this year given some really tough fixtures remaining. And then it will be the playoff lottery. So anything could happen. I just hope that the Brothers keep the faith with MP as I feel he has the attributes to be a successful manager at this level. If he can't make it this year then, maybe next or even the year after. It won't be easy as some wild investors will come in again to another club and try to do a Wrexham or MK.

League 1 for all the above reasons so very well explained.

Definitely! Play to our strengths I'm sure will be MP's approach. If it's working, don't fix it .

Totally agree @McPie . I feel MP has shown he has significant influence on the technical board. The signings of Ndlovu and Belshaw are clearly designed for the now in Division 4, while the others are a nod to the near future. In the case of Enoru and Tangen perhaps the not too distant future.

Bit of a theme here. We ship all of our unwanted to the extremes of the union: Kyle Cameron, Traore, Roos and now Jarvis. 🤔

I almost feel more nervous about playing these teams than I do about the teams in the top 10. Let's hope MP has instilled a robustness that we have seen lacking in the last two seasons.

After tonight's result maybe the display on New Year's Day wasn't quite so horrible 😕

Yes, he was 91 according to reports. I just remember him from the early 60s watching with my grandad from Spoon Kop. George Smith, Ivan Hampton, Bert Loxley, Gibson era seems to ring a bell. Need to dig out the old programmes again 🤓

Wishing them well. And they are not in League 1 😊 Sorry, League 2

Agree @McPie . Just listened to his interview and he comes across very well. Very clear of his role and how he would fit in. An old fashioned Division 4 forward 🤔.

Sounds one for next season or last 10 games at best. Norwegian leagues run from March to November so can't see he'll be match fit. Looks promising though.
