Wouldn't bet on it as we can't trust our mentally weak and fragile defence.
We have reached the stage when there is practically no margin for error.
Plymouth and Sheffield Wed have so called easy games next week therefore even a draw at Oxford will feel like defeat. |  | | |

i was talking about plymouth a few games back, only differences are that in their run they lost the 4th game and also got knocked out of the cup by paul hurst's grimsby.
their fans probably thought the same, but they recovered. why can't we? | |

Maybe Coz they don't stick a DCM as an inside forward for the final 10 minutes of a game. |  |

| It is essential we take 7 points from the next 3 games ahead of Sheff Weds on 09:59 - Jan 15 with 1475 views | unstableblue |
Oxford (a)
Morecambe (h)
Cambridge (a)
No excuses, no room for error. Has to be 2.33 PPG
Oxford have a score to settle from Boxing, and as we saw are a good team.
9 points has to be the goal. But the time to strike is now and 7 points is the absolute minimum. |  |

Yeah. No reason we can’t do it.
I’m sure Plymouth fans aren’t crying at the fact they’ve taken 2 points from a possible 6. You know, like some of our fans were with 2 tough away games over the Christmas period. | | | |

Probably not as they had won 4 on the bounce before hand and sit top of the league. | |

They were away at Bolton and Ipswich with a cushion which means they can accept draws as good results. We’ve thrown away that cushion with stupid results since the end of October in particular. | |

Why can't we?
Because this manager doesn't seem able to rectify and resolve our problems. He is very stubborn with one system. If it works out it is fine, if it doesn't he still carries on with it week in week out.
We are utterly hopeless in seeing games out and it isn't getting addressed | | | |

Yesterday felt like he was going out of his way to try and address it, but made a complete shambles of it. Sheffield Wednesday was similar though slightly more logical - an extra defender at the death to shore us up but instead it resulted in confusion at the back. | |

We do need a good run of wins on the bounce, but we've shown we just don't do that regardless of the opposition. Getting two consecutive wins has proved extremely challenging so far. | |

None of the changes made any sense.
Morsy over to left side and humphreys deep
Kvy on to the right side which didn't have Mumba, on so why not Jackson who could have used his pace on a side which had given burns space all game...
Then Edwards in a time where we weren't trying to push forwards but trying to see the game out.. | |

against the opposition coming up, we've shown we can in the past.

We might have with games in the past, but I'm not overly confident we will this time. On paper, the next 4 look very winnable, but we'll find a way to throw a spanner in the works. I'd be really surprised if get a return of 12 pts before the Wednesday home game, but I really hope I'm proved wrong. | |

i think the new signings and the tweaks that have been made recently are an attempt to change this. he's not as set in stone as, say, cook
changes didn't work against plymouth, but no reason why it can't work against oxford with a bit more time on the training pitch. we saw the game out comfortably against oxford 4 games ago | |

so do i! oxford's the big one for me, they're not as bad as we made them look in the home game...
win that and there's no earthly reason why we can't go on a run, and reach wednesday flying | |

Just had a quick look at the form table, based on the last 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 league games both Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth are always above us.
Think Cambridge - at their place - won't be straightforward either. Hopefully, plenty of twists and turns over the next 20 games. | |

Don’t spin it.
We draw 2 on the trot and people would use our 2 game form as reason for meltdown. You would certainly be one of these people. But it’s okay for Plymouth to draw 2 on the trot because they won the previous 4. | | | |

Yes, because we scored three. When we’ve scored one goal in a game we’ve drawn more than we’ve won. On the flip side, the only match we’ve lost this season when scoring is away to Plymouth. | |

Lol bless you.
If you win 4 games on the bounce then draw 2 tough away it's a good period. And excellent return of points.
If you draw then win. Then draw then draw then lose then draw then win then draw then draw.. it's a bad run of form for a side trying to get promotion.
There's a big difference. You know that but you're trying to get up arrows so you carry on. | |

Agree Guthrum that given our performances against these teams to date it should be 9 points to take into the Owls clash.
But Oxford are a better side, despite our dismantling of them on Boxing Day they played very well for 30mins, want revenge and their good form has continued. | |
