I do hope whatever we get the fans stay positive and get behind Marcus Next 5 are Plymouth Away (1) Carlisle Home (2) Crawley Away (13) Portsmouth Home (4) Doncaster Away (3) moribus facit hominem

I'd be happy with 6 or 7 points, very happy at 8 or 9 and ecstatic at anything more. Realistically speaking, we could end up with 4 or 5. Still a work in progress and the next run of games will be a test of the squad and MB's managerial capabilities. Carlisle surprisingly lost to Newport, which shows how close this league is.

My head says 5 points, which will drop us into the bottom half. My heart hopes MB can fire up the lads to get 10 points, which will keep us in a play-off spot.

Agreed, worries me too and they were bullied i thought today. Needed Disley in there to stabilise us today as Comley ended up on the left and i would have put money on Berrett being subbed.

Special Brew Drinker Posts: 7,532 Posts Per Day: 1.26 Reputation: 80.3% Rep Score: +41 / -10 Approval: +6,658 Gold Stars: 101	They are certainly tough games but it will give Marcus a chance to see how the squad performs against the better sides in this league and also the strengths and weaknesses of these teams. These next few games will be a steep learning curve for Marcus but with the " intelligent " use of the players we have then I'm sure things will be ok. It's only six weeks until the transfer window opens but that gives him plenty of time to truly assess the squad and decide who he needs and doesn't need to progress. The Future is Black & White.

Whiskey Drinker Posts: 3,549 Posts Per Day: 1.09 Reputation: 63.94% Rep Score: +19 / -13 Approval: +1,194 Gold Stars: 55	Plymouth haven't lost since August and have won 12 of the last 14, a point there would be a phenomenal result. Hopefully after their defeat on Saturday we can catch Carlisle on a poor run and get something. If we do lose those 2 which is perfectly possible we will absolutely need something at Crawley and then Portsmouth and Donny aren't any easier. If it goes badly we could be down there by Christmas. My hope is that the number of teams between us and the bottom 2 will stand us in good stead. Maybe we'll get new manager syndrome and not lose the next 5 and win 3 of them or something. I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Plenty of teams between us and trouble and most have very inconsistent form. Nobody has an easy 'next 5 games'. On paper I don't fancy us to get too many points from the next quintet but then I fancied Carlisle to beat Newport on Saturday! Crawley looks the one with scope for points but who knows - we might win the next two! It looks a tall order for us to maintain a play off place between now and Christmas but I think we can stay above the bottom third with a couple of decent results.

Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD

Since then they have won 12 and drawn 2 of their last 14 matches. Would be great if we could break their unbeaten run on Saturday but it's a big, big ask.
