Not going to judge squad esp with several new recruits on todays match (Swindon) as long as theres a performance. Notts away would be tough even if you were in the top 6 of the league but the 3 after it esp Shrewsbury and Harrogate games are the games we just have to win.

Bristol vs Newport
Crawley vs Harrogate
Shrewsbury vs Barnet

Obviously Barrow at Swindon (both lost last 3 matches)

Shouldn't be relying on other teams but it helps esp if the bottom 2 lose !

Worrying thing is over last 6 matches we are 2nd bottom in the league for form (3rd from bottom over last 10 games) so we need to start getting points on board and fast before we really get sucked into the scrap.
Currently Bristol Rovers 2-0 Newport after 30 mins. Happy with that to be honest. If anyone is going to sort themselves out its probably Bristol Rovers under Evans.

Which makes Swindon a must win as Bristol will be level with us.

Only one thing that is thing to get us out if this mess and that is the players giving it more than they ever have out there. Every game. Every one of them has to put it all out there from the first whistle to the last. No more of this half arsed going into tackles and marking, We are a soft touch, where’s the fight, fall out with each other on the pitch if that’s what it takes, step up to it and show some passion and the Coach needs to be tearing into them from the sidelines.
"To achieve anything and to get to the Football League, we have to expect to win every game. I've got to get everyone believing that we can, and I will work hard to embed that mentality into the players, the town, the board and whoever else” Ian Evatt.

Swindon away - can't see anything here

Notts away - again can't see anything but we have beaten them away before when no one expected it.

Then 3 massive matches -

Shrewsbury away - must win
Colchester home - again 3 points !
Harrogate home - must win

Get a few more players in, get the system right and pray we get a minimum 9 points in next 5 games.

So far the football gods are helping us with tonights scores 🙌
Well so far nothing!

New manager so lets see if he csn work his magic in a short space of time with these next 2 matches in space of 4 days.

Swindon not doing us any favours so far tonight
