I have posted elsewhere that statistically teams winning away first, rarely win the return home fixture.

Does Barnet and Chesterfield ring any bells?

Port Vale anyone.


We're laughing the next 2 away games then.

To be fair, if we can't beat Barnet and Chesterfield at home then we deserve to go down!

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover


We haven't won in 18 games is it now, and plenty of them were winnable on paper.

We are mainly relying on other clubs to do us a favour and I feel for the manager - he has been left with a shocking set of players who seem completely unable to raise their game.

I think the fans have almost had enough to be honest - the gallows humour at Lincoln about "we lose every week..." suggests that are struggling to lift the team. It is up to the players now - no matter how many Town fans travel, or what level of support they get at home the outcome is the same. The club seems toxic and the new manager must quickly turn it round. Forget about any fancy formations, players out of position - get his best 11, in his opinion in a standard formation and get them to roll their sleeves up.

Martin Allen will get Barnet fighting for every ball, every lost cause and that is what we have to do - we are not going to suddenly start playing well after all this time so a bit of passion and fighting spirit is needed first and foremost.



So of those currently available...

Macca
Clifton
Cardwell
Davies or Mills maybe?

They've all shown some spirit but who else in the squad is there who will roll their sleeves up and give it their all

I'm not talking about ability - just the desire to not fold and to give every last bit of effort to try and hold on to our league status

Not particularly inspiring is it?

Can't see any reason to think we could beat anyone Before the end of the season, unless Jolley can find 11 decent players from this shambles of a squad.

I know what you mean and I feel the dread as much as anyone, but this squad of players have won 9 games this season. Including 4 against teams we still have to play in the next 7 weeks.

Don’t disagree Doug but when is he back from injury?

If not soon then Jolley has to get the best out of the leftovers which won’t be an easy task

Agree with Collins, vernon not so sure, He runs around a bit to not much effect, not sure that is really leadership.
