Stopped the rot

First half we sounded really good and well done RS and the players.....or

is this just a stay of execution for RS.........thoughts.

Point away from home eh. I'm willing to wait a few more games before making definitive judgement... I'm aware that won't be popular on here mind.

Too soon to say, but a point v Luton and a win at Yeovil will do nicely.

Oh we didn't lose, no rage this week then everyone will be happy with how things are for another week. Who wants to make the "we can still make the playoffs" thread?

Less than two weeks ago we had the club statement and it stressed that we are mid table and 13 points from the relegation zone. Less than a fortnight later, we are now 9 points from the relegation zone. It doesn't take a genius to work out that at that rate we are going to be in deep sh1t soon if we don't get a win or two. It's more than a good chance that we will be 6 points off it next week. Forest Green banged in 5 today and have a winnable game. Chesterfield have an even more winnable game. We have the best side in the league.

Can't win against the sides around us and i'm even more concerned after today.

Closer to the relegation zone than the play offs now.

Merely a stay of execution. We wont do well if we play like that against Luton they will hammer us. We played well against a poor side.

It's a Matt Heywood style turning circle. 3 points from 24 = owch

To be honest I think Chesterfield and Forest Green are finding their feet now and will be well clear of relegation by the end of the season. Barnet are going to struggle so that leaves one place for the trap door with Morecambe, Crewe, Yeovil most perilous but with Chelmsford,  Port Vale and ourselves looking nervously over our shoulders.
That game at Yeovil looking VERY important at this moment in time.  

Don't panic the league leaders are in for a surprise next Sat

If carlsberg did optimistic thread titles.

I csn only look game by game and we got a point away agains5 a team higher up the league than us. Surely that should be worth a nod of approval.

What with how easy their win will be?

I agree, Barra, a good away point but in the wider context, I agree with Ginny. If we don't find a win in the next 2-4 games we are going to be well in the relegation mix, and I can't where it's coming from.

If we're in a relegation dogfight with Chelmsford then we really are in trouble.

A point against another side who are out of form, hardly steady's the ship. It's the home games against Port Vale, Cheltenham, Stevenage, Chesterfield and Barnet, together with Yeovil, Crawley and Forest Green away, that will define our season, and I would think we would need to win at least four of those games to stay up.

Good away point but still think we could be this seasons Hartlepool if we done get a win and a few more points s soon.

Completey agree, but a positive performance were we should have won shows the players are still playing for the manager. I think adding some quality or not will show how serious the board are.

Agreed. Lot's of 6 pointers there. We play 5 of those sides in the last 10 games, including the current bottom three. Four of them are at home and it may be our salvation, if we continue to struggle.

What i don't want is to have to go to FGR needing a point or three. Football throws up these kinds of fixtures. Actually, what i really want is for us to beat Luton and Yeovil, pull away from the bottom and not have to think about the unthinkable, but it's getting closer by the week.

The vital match is Yeovil. Anything less than 3 points and we’re really in a relegation battle.

Stopped the rot?

Being totally honest.. I highly doubt it..

Another game without a win, what more needs to be said?

Three points from last 24, I think. It all look so good when we beat Forest Green at home and was only out of playoff place on goal difference. 32 points we had then. So only three added. Worrying times.

Looking ahead I personally think we are in big trouble as we are........not ideal but we have to give RS money in this window to improve us if that's how it has to be.

8 matches without a win = stopped the rot

Two of those three wins on the bounce that we manage to get, culminating with the FGR victory, could though have gone the other way

We could easily have lost to Swindon but we played with our hearts and deservedly got the three points

You couldn't say the same when we beat FGR though....we really struggled against their 10 men and they could easily have sneaked a point with their second half performance

It might have looked good on paper, but it wasn't the whole story....

Last game of the season, FGR away could be the inverse of the play-off final, whoever loses goes down

Is it written in the stars?

Town celebrate survival on the last day and JF and RS are hoisted aloft on the fans' shoulders....

Hopefully it won't be on that day, but the only thing I'd like to see them hoist by is their own petard.

Ooh.. You crafty fcuker.
I forgot we were doing post of the week now.

Iam no fan of RS or our style of football but in all fairness most games could go the other way if chances are taken at the right time. My recollection of FG game is that with a little composure in our passing and we would have won easily and their only chance was late on when we cleared one off the line. In reality we did ok against Mansfield and if we were awarded that blatant late penalty we would have at least two more points.

When I left that match there was no indication of what was to follow in the next three home games although we are always going to be light on goals given the quality of our strikers and the lack of goals from midfield, Rose excluded.

Cannot decide if I think we will turn Luton over next week or do a Doncaster & get a tonking. Think it will be one or the other!!!

Luton could be a typical game where we actually compete and get a win. Maybe a couple of signings this week could give us something to be hopeful for.

Not liking what's happening in and around the club at the minute but remain hopeful of league survival and consolidate for another year. Not expecting miracles, just league survival is my simple wish then improve on league position season after season.

Come on town give us fans what we deserve 🍀

Senior moment. I seem to be having more and more of those!  

Worth noting the bottom 2 have a game in hand on us

Quoted from Badger57

I share your pain  

The rot hasn't stopped until we are safe from the drop, Sladeball is dismissed and Fenty has wiped out his benign loan and given new blood to run the club.
