On Matchday 21, December 10th v Peterborough (2-1 win) we were top of the table, 1 point ahead of Plymouth and 3 points ahead of Wednesday, having all played the same number of games.
By Matchday 27, January 14th v Plymouth (1-1 draw) we are in 3rd place, 7 points behind Plymouth and 4 points behind Wednesday, having played 1 game less than Plymouth and same as Wednesday.
I'm getting pretty fed up of people criticising those that make comment on our extremely disappointing recent run of games, we have given away a HUGE amount of ground on our 2 main rivals and there's nothing wrong with bemoaning the fact and commenting on how we might improve our situation.
I don't care what way you slice it, for a couple of months, we have been well, well below the performance levels required to be in contention for the automatic promotion places come the end of the season and it has been a progressive decline, with no sign of reversing as yet, perhaps the new signings may help the impetus?
Any of you about to give the "20 games to go" malarkey, well, you said that before at 35, 30, 25, at what point do we stop using that excuse? 10 games? 5? forget the games to go nonsense, we need to see improvement on the pitch, NOW. [Post edited 17 Jan 2023 18:32]

I’m not trying to be negative (failed at that obviously, lol) but I am bitterly disappointed with our recent run, which is most likely something to do with the last god knows how many years of broken dreams under ME. Honestly, I’m not sure I’ll be able to look for just the positives until we’ve actually got out of this bloody league. I desperately want to see Broadhead and Hirst stake a claim and fire us into promotion in the remaining games and I’d like to see a few more additions in other positions in this window to help them do it.
I don’t think the players could expect much different from the fan base over the last few weeks, they’ve not been up to the high standards set earlier in the season and I’m pretty sure many of them would admit to that, but we know what they can do and I hope they start doing it again this week. I’d really like to put 5 or 6 goals on a team at some point, everything just to click, we are more than capable of it. |
I'd rather we beat five teams 1 - 0 than putting that many goals past some individual struggler.
But, in reality, we normally get two or three (61% in the League, if you include the Charlton 4), which is plenty comfortable enough. |  |

4 pages of debate says you haven’t put to bed people criticising those that make comment on our extremely disappointing recent run of games. |
100% agree and I fully accept that there's probably not a single topic on the planet that this forum could ever hope to reach complete agreement on, but that's why we're here isn't it?
Nothing wrong with an exchange of views, I like seeing other opinions that challenge my own, helps build a picture from all angles. | |

I'd rather just win games, regardless of scoreline, but I think if we could just get a game where we smash an opponent, I reckon it would be like a release valve and we could see a team playing with a new lease of life, unburdened of pressure. | |

Would be quite a boost for fan morale, too. | |
