Obviously not true! 11 teams have scored more goals but only 2 teams have conceded less goals so it's obvious the attack is much more of a problem than the defence.
No chance of being in the top 3 but chance of sneaking into the playoffs although suspect we won't score quite enough to make it.

With our run in and home form there would be something seriously wrong if we don't reach the play offs.

Would be better to focus on points rather than position. Last seasons tenth place was based on 62 points I think. However over the previous 10 seasons 62 points would put us on average in about 12th place. Demonstrating that last season was competitively a pretty poor one. Anything inside that would probably represent an improvement on last season therefore.

Home games, the lads need us more than ever we’ve got an important role to get them over the line. It’s easy supporting a team when there’re winning not so when things are tougher. Tomorrow will be yet another pressure game for the lads but it’s incumbent on us to be as one with PW and the lads I’ll even get the stand singing, It’s been a slog and we’ve earned the right to be where we are. We need a twelfth man (sorry person) out there where are YOU😁
With you and Pedro on this...

Good glut of home games to come, surely and advantage apart from that pitch!!

We've had our wobble, time to get back on track tomorrow and start a clean slate on just push, fight and chase for the remainder of the games..we can do this, it's ours to make a pigs arse of it but this current crop have something about em and they will fight tooth and nail I'm sure!!

Finishing 9th last season was a brilliant achievement for the Club many on this forum said a similar finish this season would be difficult because off the strength off teams coming into league 2, if we now finish 9th that will be a big disappointment for many.

Heart says 5th, head says 8th. Think we’ve still got it in us to get into the playoffs and I’m hoping last night was the pinnacle of this slump. We have a front 3 in Stockton, Telford and Whitfield who, if we get it right, could score for fun. Turn out round lads. Up the bluebirds!

If we don't turn this slump around asap, I can only see us in a downward spiral - mid table finish.

If we do turn this slump around asap, I can only see us in an upward trajectory - promotion/play-off place finish.
