Quoted from we will return
The last time we had a run of wins was January 08 where we won 5 in row including a 2-1 victory in the JPT vs Stockport. (I think thats the most recent)
Also the final game of the run was a 1-0 win over Wrexham.


Yep, 3 league games in a row was then. In fact, it was 4!

Lincoln H 1-0
Chester A 2-0
Chesterfield A 2-1
Wrexham H 1-0

(I think I've copied and pasted this about 16 times)

I think we need a "nothing to lose everything to gain" attitude.

We're gathering momentum and Stockport could be in a bit of a rut - if we come out and take the game to them and win convincingly, everyone will be buzzing before Kettering.

I've probably said it before but if we're gonna try to achieve promotion we've got to have the belief we can win away by dominating teams.
Not saying we should be "gung ho" but Braintree we had our chances to score first and don't think we should stop being positive because we might get beat - we might try to be cautious and solid and still get beat anyway !

Defensive/backs to the wall may bag all 3 points vs Forest Green but I can't see the same approach working long-term to give us the points, momentum or confidence we need to shoot to the top end of the table.
Even if we lose 4-2 I'll be more than happy that we can bag goals on our travels.

So let's believe we can step up a level and go for it !  


Forest Green wasn't backs to the wall.

It was once we went a goal up !
Totally understandable, but should you protect what you've got or look for more ?
Remember Woods home fixture vs Bury when we were hanging on by the skin of our teeth for the win and they equalised right at the end ?
Seem to remember we swore we'd never do the same again.
A team with confidence in the ascendency tries to kill teams off not play with fire - had Cambridge scored instead of hitting the post, we'd have been kicking ourselves.  
Newport was a completely different kettle of fish after the Braintree calamity - any repeat would have been disastrous, a clean sheet was always gonna be the aim.
Let's not kid ourselves we've been industrious away from home, we've had the same approach for donkeys years as far back as I can remember...

Slade's second season we were awesome away from home at the start of the season, winning games by more than the odd goal. But I think that was because teams attacked us more when they were at home leaving the room for slade ball behind the defence.

McKeown didn't make a save at FGR did he? From what I remember it was a most un-GTFC-like comfortable win.

Think he made one from a speculative shot from about thirty five yards that was straight at him. And caught a few crosses.

Yep, 8 wins from the first 12. Peterborough away was backs to the wall!

Only 1 win in the final 11 though, so something went wrong. (Signing Ben Futcher probably didn't help)

Personally I think it was a combination of teams figuring us out and Reddy being injured.

Reddy being injured can't have played a part - we'd brought Mendes in by then
