Quoted from Abdul19
McKeown didn't make a save at FGR did he? From what I remember it was a most un-GTFC-like comfortable win.


Well that might be pushing it a bit but it certainly wasn't "backs to the wall". It was one of those games like we've been on the other end of countless times over the last few years. The away team scores and then takes control. FGR didn't possess the necessary guile to break us down...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

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)


From memory our away form was spectacularly good early season but we lost at home to the teams around us at the top-Leyton Orient and Wycombe. Come the end it was the other way round. I think we played Cheltenham on a Friday night very late season and beat them 1-0.

Beat them 3-0 I think.

If not backs to the wall (which suggests frantic last gasp defending) then shut up shop - take your pick.

All I'm saying is if we could win convincingly then confidence would be sky high and we'd have real momentum and little to fear home or away - who would frighten us except the very best teams ?

Would I take 3 points from a gritty defensive display ?
Of course I would but I'm ambitious and greedy - I want us to kick on further and try to win the league.

If we go in with a fearless attitude and get beat then we get beat but I don't see we've got too much to lose.  

Worse case scenario we fall behind let our heads drop and get stuffed again - well in that case maybe it's best we know that there are attitude problems that need addressing asap.

So regardless of the result I just can't see how we can't gain long term if we go there positive.

If we're expecting to win every game then we should have a word with ourselves but as we all know, 1 win and 2 defeats is just the same as 3 draws and we've had plenty of those in recent years.

Interesting facts...

- Apart from the Histon crushing on the back of the Mansfield one, the only games we managed to win by 2 clear goals away from home last season were both under S&H - Mansfield and Barrow towards the back end of last season.

- In our relegation season, we went 15 games without a league win away from home (including 4 successive 0-0's !) until we won 3 successive away games vs Accrington, Hereford and Darlington (before losing to Burton on final day).

I had a Tenner on 7 or more goals at histon, to say I cheered when eagle scored was an understatement.
