For me the team to worry about has always been Sheffield Weds. they are matching us blow for blow over recent weeks . But when we flip up ( usually at home), they don’t seem to. Hence the loss of that 5 point gap we had not that long ago. Now that gap is down to just GD. I’m happy to get printed WITH Plymouth . Tbh they deserve it . His many seasons have they been too but then fell away after Christmas. I’m not sure that’s going to happen now - and good luck to them. It’s the team in 3rd/ 4th we need to worry about. Things are such now, that every have us now a must win game, because those below appear to be running into form. I’d say we are far from being “ in form”. I’m not going into games thinking , “ we’ve got this one”, because we always serve up a soft goal on a plate to the opposition and we do this repeatedly. Are the teams around us doing this?
I’m desperate for us to get out of this bloody shi t division. I’m just not sure our squad is quite at it . The acquisitions we bring in in January are vital. We can’t afford to get it wrong. I fear what will happen to our squad ( certain players leaving ), and God forbid, McKenna too. Some may accuse me of being dramatic, catastrophising and being knee jerk. But I just feel we are in danger of things starting to slip away. We see it with teams every season, and I pray it’s not going to happen to us. |  |

just put on another post, at the end of january they face these 3 in a row....
Barnsley, Plymouth, Town.
huge set of fixtures for them. if they come out of that with 6+ then we need a good jan/feb under our belts |  |

Don’t worry about any of them, it’s all in our hands and we just need to focus on getting as many points as we can. |  | | |

Agree Plymouth are not who we should be worrying about but I think it’s Barnsley not Wendies that we SHOULD be worried about.
We are 7 points ahead of Wendies in the 10 like-for-like fixtures we’ve both played but 1 point behind Barnsley in the 10 fixtures we’ve played the same as them. |  |

We could flip this around.. Plymouth are seven points ahead of us before we play Lincoln.. they also play again in the league before we do away to Bolton..
They could be ten points clear by the time we play them (defeat tomorrow and a win for them away to Bolton)
Or we could move a point behind them with a victory over them, should we beat Lincoln and they lose to Bolton.. that psychology might be a bit of a hammer blow for them.. obviously alot of ifs and buts I still have us winning the league by the time we play fleetwood! | | | |

I'm not worried by any team, we've outplayed most teams in this league so far and given so many points away through bad luck, gifting goals and not being clinical. If we can add a bit of an edge to our game in Jan, bit of physicality and experience then I'd back us to be top two. |  | | |

yep, far more worried about our inability to score in tight games, or the points we've chucked away.
portsmouth was a complete wasted opportunity. still plenty of games ahead, and my god i love this team/squad but its not being a sh1t supporter to say portsmouth was a real missed opportunity [Post edited 1 Jan 2023 20:56]

Shouldn't worry about anyone.. We're in a good place, with an amazing manager and staff. And a very good squad, that should be getting strengthened this month..
We've done really well over the last month or so, when you consider the injuries we've had. We are still not totally over that bump. But things are looking much better than 3 or 4 weeks ago in terms of squad depth. I'm looking forwards to the second half of the season.
Our football is a joy to watch, compared to previous seasons . I'm happy with how things are going.
Remind me, what was our situation a year ago? Or worse still, two years ago? Plenty of supporters up and down the pyramid that would give their right arm to be in our situation..
I'm wondering how many people are nursing New Year hangovers. Trying to think of a reason for all the down beat posts .. [Post edited 1 Jan 2023 21:27]

Whatever in the nicest way. We’re just off 20 years of being rubbish and now have a team to be proud of that’s competing at last. It’s all a bonus in my book. |  | | |

Agreed I absolutely adore this team and as disappointed as I’d be if we did lose in the play offs I’d rather play like we do than anything else. It’s such small margins and that extra bit of nous could make all the difference. | | | |
