A Colchester win would mean there’s a 4 point gap between us and Newport who would drop to 20th place, with Forest Green below us having a game in hand. Still early days, but a Colchester win makes the complexion of the bottom end of the table look rather bleak from our perspective. Let’s hope those Robins have a positive reaction to their whooping by Aldershot at the weekend. A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

A couple of wins in a row would probably be enough to close up to mid-table. Not saying a couple of wins are necessarily going to materialise immediately, but we're a long way away from the outlook being bleak yet. Sutton only managed one win in their first 11 games, yet are still in touch with the clubs above, which unfortunately includes us at the moment.

That kind of bleak. A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

It's the equivalent of saying you've got no chance of promotion if you're in the bottom half of the table when a third of the season has passed. It's not possible for every team above you to keep winning games so you can't catch them if you have a moderate improvement in form.

I meant it as in “marked by an atmosphere lacking in cheer”, that’s all. Nothing more dramatic. It’d be a mildly depressing picture to wake up to, even though it’s clearly a long way from terminal at this point of the season. A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

You don't want to give the new guy a steep hill to climb.
