really surprised that with so much negativity that only 12 out of 164 have called for MR to be sacked.
we have the most solid defence in League Two and when we win its down to individual greatness, but if we lose it down to tactics.
You build from the back, and we are more solid than anyone in our league. Give MR the time to get the midfield and up top right and we have a winning formula.

Becoming less so though.
I will be surprised should that be the case come the end of the season.

in general or if we get to a certain position ?
In general, I just think we've lost that ingrained trait that 'youre not getting past us '.
With each subsequent goal conceded the impregnable nature is harder to portray /exude ,other teams phsychology will be up as a result .

we have let in 5 goals less than the league leaders. we might not end the season as the most solid defence, but wont be far off. its a great foundation to build on
Oh I agree, just that it appears to have slipped ,but then we've had Injuries galore and rotation and a shit pitch to contend with through the Winter .
Hopefully we're going to turn it around and that incolves our own players phsychology too.

It looks good on paper when you look at the table as a whole, but if you split our season in 2 halves, we conceded 8 from the first 16 games (0.5 goals per game) but in the second half of the season we've conceded 19 from the last 16 (a rate 54 goals over a 46 game season).

The question is sacked now. That’s pretty pointless and he should be given a chance to get it right. Do the poll after the final game and you’ll see a different outcome if we fail.
Trouble is, if we don’t make promotion this year, will that defence be here next season... we stay in this league and I see grimmer, rod and Willis all moving on
Be a struggle to hang on to jones and mc nullty too & before you know we are building a new side again and gambling that it will work first time round again... same as we did in championship and league 1 , just doesn’t work.
Might be able to hang on to Doyle due to his age and history here, but will he be same player next season even if we do hang on to him
I do really worry if we don’t get promoted this season.

If they win they will go above us but we will have a game in hand on them. If they don't win we will stay above them and have a game in hand over them.

Would much rather they don't go ahead of us.
You have to remember, after Barnet we have our game in hand and it is against Luton. I would be well happy with a draw from that.
Defeat or draw for Lincoln would be best for us I believe.

I think if Lincoln lose (or possibly draw), with the distraction of the Checkatrade looming etc etc, they will probably fall away. Mansfield - unknown how the new manager will affect them - all in all. I'd like them to draw on Tuesday (in a bad tempered clash full of red cards and injuries!)

Disagree. They overtake us and may well still be ahead of us when we come face Luton. That would mean we would have to beat Luton in order to go back ahead of Lincoln.
Don't like that scenario much at all. It will be another 2 games gone too and matches are running out fast.
I think we need to be back in the playoffs asap! The sooner the better and has been said, it might knock Lincoln out of the picture, which could then well come in handy when we have the rearranged fixture.
One step at a time. Let's get back in the playoffs and THEN look at targeting Mansfield and the rest of them.

No one should fear Luton. They're on the verge of losing top spot, now is the perfect time to play them

Don't fear them, but I would be more than happy with a draw against them.
They have now also just got Danny Hylton back from injury. Think he played 66 mins on Saturday.
I think their fall has coincided with his absence.
We can't just assume Luton are going to keep falling.

Good that we're playing them on Tuesday then - a game for him on Saturday and then Tuesday - he'll be blowing/more susceptible to a knock

I don’t want to be dismissive, but we need to focus on ourselves, if we put together a sequence of results, we’ll most likely climb up the table.
We’ve got 2 home games coming up, and I think we should be aiming for 4 or 6 points. We have a better GD than our rivals; Exeter, Swindon, Carlisle and Lincoln. We’re only about 8-10 goals off Mansfield and Notts County. If we put together a sequence, GD will take care of its self.

Not sure if id rather a mansfield win or draw tonight, part of me wants them out of the way in the autos. Part of me wants it to stay tight up there.

Just don't want a Lincoln win. That would take them above us.

I think Accrington will win the league, they just seem to be streetwise

You might be right. They have hit form at the right time, while others have been stuttering.
