Exeter, Luton and Notts County make up three of the next four away games. A really good chance to show whether or not we can make something from the season. There's no doubt about it, we need to turn some of these draws into wins and away from home would seem to be our best bet at the moment.

Don't care too much about the unbeaten run, to be honest, we are still where we were 12th / 13th when it started, so it's not done us any good in terms of progression. Hope we show a bit more bite in these forthcoming away games because it will determine the rest of our season. Anything less than four points would not be good in the grand scheme of things?


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Yeah, tough games. We definitely do need to start turning the draws into wins, but it'll have to be at home as we've only drawn 1 out of 8 away!

9 points ! I believe.

I can see us getting 0 from those three, but you never know...

Home form is where it's at. It's that we need to deal with as priority.

Exeter form has dipped so that looks the most winnable, but I give up guessing. Let's just hope the team that beat Accrington turns up for each game.

We seem to be beating teams that we've had a terrible record against recently, keep the faith.

I do wonder if our now very resolute defence might be well suited to those sorts of games. We need to sit back and defend strongly as a unit and then counter with the pace of Siriki and DJ plus maybe Matt who will be needed to hold it up at various points. Those teams will come at us more than others have because they will be under more pressure to beat us. I can see us taking anything from 0 to 9 points from those 3.

I bet we won’t get 8 points. Anything else from 0-9 yes.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Towns squad should be looking forward to these games to hopefully shut a few of the more vocal dissenters up

As tough as it looks on paper, Luton away should be one for Slade to really prove his worth, certainly the Slade of old would have tackled this one with a stubborn defensive display while providing a constant threat to them with our quick counters and maybe grabbing an away win.
