50 points ? I can't see us scoring 50 goals this season!
We have scored 28 league goals this season compared to 35 at the same stage last season. Altogether we scored 59 last season.
It's goals that earn points**, and I can't see us scoring many!
** Yes I know 0-0 games give us a point, but we would need 15 0-0's out of our 17 remaining games !!

I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

I did it and was fairly pessimistic and still got us to 50 points. The good news is that we've probably post the Luton game got the best run in of the relegation contenders. FGR have to play all the teams at the top.

Just had a look at the result last time we played the teams we are yet to play this season. (Yes I know it is not an exact science....)
LUTON D 1-1 YEOVIL D 0-0 CHELT L 0-1 CRAWL L 2-3 CAMBS W 1-0 EXETER L 0-3 CARLISLE W 2-1 VALE L 1-2 LINCOLN D 1-1 COVEN L 2-3 STEVEN D 2-2 WYCOM L 1-2 CHEST/F D 2-2 BARNET D 2-2 SWIND L 0-2 NOTTS W 2-0 FGR W 1-0
If we did the same as last time we would get 18 points - enough for safety.
So where do you think we can get at least 15 points ?

If this was a "normal" division with 3 relegation places we might be in more trouble, but you have to be monumentally crap this year to go down. I think we're in trouble next year for sure as season ticket sales are likely to be well down after months of fairly meaningless games. People are going to get out the habit of going between now and then. I struggle to believe Slade can even identify realistic targets, never mind persuade them to join him (he spent all summer looking for a No. 9 and ended up with Hooper). So the combination of a poor squad, a small kitty and an uninspiring manager mean we could we'll struggle next year.
When I was a kid the GCT service for that always used to run to Waltham.... maybe it's been changed and that's why it took Russ so long to find one

I don't think we'll go down this season, but I do see comparisons with the seasons before we actually went down last time. When we were promoted, I believed that our exile in that awful league was something that would never be repeated, that it was all in the past and that we were on the way back to permanent League membership and stability, with promotion a possibility every year. Now I'm not so sure. We seem to be in another situation of despair. As posted above, if the club is not careful, it will be impossible to recruit ambitious players, and we shall end up with everyone else's don't wants and a slide that will eventually take us down again.

I only did town results on mine, I said 2 weeks ago I can see Fgr surging up the table with the quality they've signed. Clearly a club that have seen things need to happen and acted upon it quickly.

So where do you think we can get at least 15 points ?
That has confused me. You mean last time we played them this season? Surely lots of those results are wrong? We beat Chesterfield, Vale and Swindon for a start... ?

No he means the scores in the most recent games at that venue (home or away) mostly in the corresponding fixture last season
