We are actually top of the form table for the last six games.
Good teams get results when they’re not playing well. So for us to be unbeaten in six is perhaps a statement we’re still the ones this year. |  |

That said, the last couple of matches, we look like a team on a slight decline. And not a side that's dominated and been unlucky. Understandable with some key players missing. And currently fit key players, perhaps , starting to feel it, physically...
There's no bed wetting here. But the concern is whether or not we can hang in there until the squad is strengthened through players returning, or a couple of new signings in January, perhaps?
KM has had a good knack of avoiding any kind of "nose dives" in form, over his year in charge. We've managed to grind out a few results and stop any kind of rot setting in after previous blips, so far. So I'll take solace in the fact, that he'll generally get the best from what ever we've got available on match days. But, this next month or so, will be a testing time..
The real bed wetting may begin from some quarters, if we slip out of the top two. Something I think could happen . But, still, no need to panic, Imo.
We are well positioned and well set, at almost the half way stage of the season. And as players come back to full fitness, we should progressively improve as the season ticks on..
This time last year, we were around 10th, dumped out the cup by Barrow and manager less...
We are currently in a good place. A really good place... |  | | |

The last couple of games includes Exeter which was one of our most accomplished performances of the season. |  | | |

And within those 6 games
Beat Derby :)
we dropped a 2 goal lead to vale ( thankfully won)
Went from 4-2 ahead to 4-4 in the space of 2 minutes to charlton to draw
lost the lead at home to draw with cheltenham
gave what was probably the most professional performance of the season away to Exeter - win
Lost the lead at home to draw with Fleetwood in the 96th minute.
You are correct in regards to the form table. Thankfully those around us have slipped up as much as we have.
It doesn't mean there isn't a right to be frustrated with how we've dropped certain points.
but of course frustrations = bed wetting. |  |

Aluko is 'back training with the group'. Given the intensity of our training this usually means the player is not far off being ready for some match minutes. Wouldn't suprise me if he is on the bench by the Wycombe match.
He's ahead of schecdule. |
Brilliant news - really like Aluko, such intelligent footballer. His numbers don't support how important he can be to us.
Given that is an area we lack options to have Aluko back as a an option as one of them pocket players is brilliant news. |  | | |

Think with Aluko.. those draws turn into wins.
We don't have many players who can make the ball stick up the pitch... Fleetwood for example.. being able to bring him on instead of Jackson would have made a massive difference imo. | |

Assuming you mean the last couple of home league matches, I'm not sure I see a lot of evidence of decline, really.
You look past that outcome of individual games, our general performances are much the same as they have been all season. We're dominant most of the time, such that we win 60% of the games we play. Outcomes have varied, but I'm not sure performances have very much. |  |

Frustrations is frustrations. Bedwetting is when you feel the need to turn it into a dozen hot takes because you'd rather do that than hold your hands up and admit you shat yourself in public a year ago with a take. |  |

Very easy to see "should have won but didn't" games as evidence of ingrained team flaws (We're profligate! We don't defend leads!) rather than what they usually are, which is just variance.
Most football matches are won by the team that creates the most and best chances, that was us against Lincoln, Cheltenham and even Fleetwood (though the gap wasn't so great in that one). | |

I think he would have had a real positive impact, Fleetwood it was really noticeable we lacked options for the pocket players, and Edwards certainly didn't look his most dangerous from the off.
Aluko makes the ball his own, he's so difficult to dispossess, but more importantly he so intelligent as to where to pick the spaces between the lines - he's always on the half turn or ready to turn his man with a drop of shoulder if the defender goes tight.
I think we have really missed his quality. | | | |

I already held my hands up BB. Do I need to do every week for you to personally move on? Bit bizarre to keep thinking about a post from a year ago. Especially one which I took back. Which you continue to ignore. So here it is again BB I was wrong with the post.
If anything you're a prime bedwetter about a poster you said you had on ignore. But can't go a day without mentioning me. That's quite strange and unsettling. | |

Of course we should have won - Wyscout had the xG of that game as 4.08 vs 0.04 - by that scale it's probably one of the biggest freak shows in world football history.
But you either think - we battered them and it was incredibly unlucky to lose, or this could only happen to Ipswich.
One is rational, and for me the other is irrational - every fan you speak to has an 'Along Came Us' view of their football team - we aren't unique in any way like that.
In League 1 this season, over the last 15 minutes of games - 11 sides have let in more than they have scored, 11 sides have scored more than they have let in, and 2 are equal.
We have scored more late in games than we have conceded, in fat we are the only team in the league who have scored more than we have conceded in every 15 minute section of the game.
We are the best team in the league, but we just have to make sure bad luck doesn't see ud fall behind a Plymouth side who we are massively superior too |  |

You're kidding me Joe! Teams only score those late goals against Town and you know it. Don't be giving me 21pts from the first ten and the same from the second ten. Don't be telling me most points from last 6 games in the league. We played poorly for 45 minutes against Fleetwood and conceded a deflected equaliser 30 seconds before the end. We dropped 2 points away to promotion favourites Sheff Wednesday ffs after being 2 nil up and the less said about Charlton and their at the time excellent home record, the better. As for dominating Lincoln at home and losing whilst failing to beat an inferior side like Cheltenham despite hitting the woodwork numerous times, you can't tell me similar results happen to, let's say, Man City at home during a season can you? Get a grip of yourself man, can't you see that our promotion push is faltering and the panic button of doom simply must be pressed now? If we take the most points over the next 6 games then even you will have to admit the game is up! Wise up, there's only 26 games to go.
Ps. In case you didn't already know 😉, I wish we had held on to some, nad f@@k it, all of the aforementioned points, as I'm sure every Town fan does! |  |

Course, every fan is gutted and no one wants to see it - but you put some peoples posts together and they do actually read as your joke post....!
There are such overreactions to everything, I hear some saying this side doesn't have the bottle to go up, the day after Plymouth get pumped 2-0 at home by Port Vale......they admit to being totally ignorant about the rest of the league, as though it is a badge of honour, and then talk about us in comparison to other teams.

Agree,
Also though a bizarre game Charlton if he was on the pitch the last few minutes he would have got the ball down controlled and shielded it,
Wouldn't have drawn that game, | | | |

What we can do, however, is be pretty damn sure Mr McKenna, though undoubtedly irked and frustrated by things, will not be in panic mode. Had he had a bench like earlier in the season on Friday, I am sure he would have reacted to the swing in possession and addressed our retreat and lack of press at 65 minutes. It will though, be very interesting to see our business in the window. Whatever is done, I hope it's early but that's not always possible unfortunately. | |

We beat Derby :)
We led against Port Vale for 51 minutes, were never behind and won :)
We led against Charlton for 36 minutes, scored 4 goals and it took them scoring twice in injury time to prevent us winning and we got a point away to a team that had won 3 of their previous 4 matches.
We entirely battered Cheltenham, led for 26 minutes, had 75% possession, hit the post, had 31 shots to their 3, 15 corners to 0 and should have won.
A comfortable win at Exeter who had won 2 of the previous 3 home matches. :)
We led Fleetwood for 94 minutes and failed to win thanks to a fluke deflection and should have had a penalty as well.
During that time, we have been behind for not 1 single minute. We have topped the form table and this despite quite possibly deserving 6 more points (18 from 18).
It could be more impressive, but you really have to seek out the negatives from that. |  |

The last couple of games includes Exeter which was one of our most accomplished performances of the season. |
I had Pompey and Fleetwood in mind, tbh... Both games I thought we faded. The Pompey game was dismissed by most people, being as it was the Pizza Cup. But we still fielded a strong side. Harness injury didn't help...
Agree about Exeter match. That was an almost perfect away performance. [Post edited 7 Dec 2022 11:09]
