At least 17 points?
That would take 5 wins and 2 draws. I'd be happy with 10 or 11 points from those 7 games. We are currently going at 1.6 PPG and I would be happy to maintain that for the entire season.
You know me Ginny, positive, enthusiastic, glass half full and I did say a year ago that we'd get promoted.

It's getting a bit carried away when we've won 2 games due mostly to the opposition's inability to score goals on a plate rather than us outplaying and outscoring teams. We've been lucky, and obviously got a great team spirit. But our performances haven't been as good as our points return so far. If we play like we have the last 3 games, I can't see us being anywhere near the top, even if we have got 7 points out of them.
It's always a good omen when you play badly and win. Ride your luck when key players are injured is a good sign of a team on the up.

We aren’t very far off being a seriously good side in this league. I’m not even sure we’re a striker short. We need midfielders and wingers getting closer to and running beyond Taylor. Those lads need to get into better areas and create better chances. That’s the issue, we don’t actually create that many chances. I’ve no idea if Khan will enhance us in that department or if a fully fit Wearne will either. I certainly don’t think the Amos/Glennon and then Clifton combination is going to break too many sides down. Harry is better, as we saw yesterday, at popping up in the box.

I thought the run Clifton made for his first yesterday was excellent with a well taken finish

That’s what I said. He’s better at making runs off the ball, dragging players out of position and popping up in the 6 yard box than he is at running at his man and putting a ball in or playing the killer pass.

We are a tough, fit ,well organised side that is hard to beat. Teams like that grind out result even when not playing fantastic flowing football.
I would like us to be more adventurous in the home games at least, but wouldn't complain at a few more 2-1 wins.

And yet Rochdale and now Walsall huffed and puffed and came away with intercourse all. You make your own luck in football and with a team spirit and a lack of realising when you’re beaten you always have a chance. Not entirely sure anyone is getting carried away, more enjoying it and rightly so, after the flipping shambles we’ve endured in recent years it’s a breath of fresh air to be that team that nicks the win. Full houses, optimism and a plan and vision for the club.

I guess to put a positive spin on things, even when behind the fans should have the belief we can still get something from the game so should continue to be vocal in supporting the players.

This. It wasn’t that long ago that we went 1 down and the feeling was ‘game over’, but now there is a real belief that we can come back from behind. It could be luck and coincidence, but it seems to be more of a feel good factor around the club from top to bottom which gives that togetherness and that never say die attitude, they want to do it for each other and the fans and credit should go to everyone but especially the management team who have ensured they bring the right characters into the club to allow this to happen.
