2 away wins out of 3 to start the season, and the Mariners have already won more times away than Scunny did in the whole of last season.  And that was at Oldham who went down with them.

Its not a sensible comparison  as the Iron only won 4 times last season, and we want to challenge, but it's still  fun to compare 😉😃

Got some tough fixtures coming up, but 5 of the next 7 league games in September are at home, including the re-arranged Carlisle game.

After looking at the opposition I'm hoping for at least 17 points out of the 21. Given our current run, including the draw with Northampton, they are all winable games.

Realistically we aren’t going to produce Championship winning form like that

We don't need to be league champions to get promoted as last season proved, just one of the four that go up.

At least 17 points?

That would take 5 wins and 2 draws. I'd be happy with 10 or 11 points from those 7 games. We are currently going at 1.6 PPG and I would be happy to maintain that for the entire season.

1.6 gives you 73 points or there abouts, that enough for the playoffs?

In the 17 away games played in 2022 so far (not counting the play off final), we've averaged 1.8 points per game

It's getting a bit carried away when we've won 2 games due mostly to the opposition's inability to score goals on a plate rather than us outplaying and outscoring teams. We've been lucky, and obviously got a great team spirit. But our performances haven't been as good as our points return so far. If we play like we have the last 3 games, I can't see us being anywhere near the top, even if we have got 7 points out of them.

I think it’s clear what Hurst’s tactics have been. Contain for 70 minutes or so and then use the extra fitness to go for it at the end. Nerve wracking but it’s working.
