If you'd been to the first 35 games this season you'd have seen 67 goals. In the last 10 you'd have seen 44. Has this significant change happened by accident or design? Note that the number of points per game has been pretty much the same in the 10 games as in the 35.

When we won promotion from Division 2 in 1967 we won 23 and drew 13 so 82 points by today's standards. And that was from 42 games. Also, by today's standards, got 82 points in 1964 when we won promotion from Division 3 (22 wins, 16 draws) but that was from 46 games.

Have to agree with this - 5 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats. Hoping for better.

Just got to keep this run of good form going. Extrapolating the results of the top 9 over their last 5 games has us gaining automatic promotion in second place to Accrington and 3 points clear of Luton. Mansfield and Swindon miss out.

At the time there was a Third Division North and a Third Division South of similar ability. Finishing 19th in the Third Division South was the equivalent of finishing 14th in the Fourth Division.

We've had worse seasons than that. 19th in the old Third Division South in 1958 put us into the Fourth Division.

There was only one previous campaign in the bottom tier (1959). For the record - P46 W24 D12 L10 84-47 Pts 60

And when we last won promotion from the fourth tier of English football (1959) we had 5 gates of over 20,000. Be nice to equal that.

Inevitable that their players won't want to get injured or suspended with the prospect of a final at Wembley. Should work to our advantage.

Only we and Accrington have won our last 2 games. All to play for.

Apologies for starting this thread and generating 3 more hours of meltdown.

'Today was a disaster', '15 games to save his job', 'We are gradually getting worse', Throwing the season away', 'Desire, passion and commitment'. Yes, yesterday was a great disappointment, but is it really necessary for this Forum to go into meltdown every time we have a poor result? I can only...

Logically we should be hoping for draws in matches between our rivals so that they only share 2 points instead of 3. If that happens tonight, we'll go above Accrington when we beat them by 2 clear goals on Saturday. Well, I can dream .......

Today's result is all part of what being a Sky Blue fan is all about. Just as we think we're getting it together, we fall apart. Do not despair. It is entirely predictable that we will beat Accrington. At the moment 9 teams are jostling for the 7 places that mean promotion or play-off and I...

And I take a further slap on the wrist for not calling it the EFL League 2.

Getting 'back where we belong' is a phrase much beloved of football teams in the lower divisions, as though every team has a right to be in a certain division. Perhaps it would be simpler to put every team where they belong and then scrap promotion and relegation to save all the heartache...

A number of threads on here recently have led me to believe that many Sky Blue fans suffer from the delusion that we are a Premiership club in temporary exile in League 2. We are a League 2 side trying to get into League 1. Perhaps this is easier for me to accept as we were in the fourth tier...

Right, here goes. I'm facing NNW and my mouth is a bit dry.................................................................................................................. any good?

Unfortunately I don't know. It's a popular marching tune which I can whistle, hum or even sing. But that's not a lot of help is it? Anyone else know?

And for those who've been around a while We are supporters of the Sky Blues Jimmy Hill he is our king George Hudson's our goalscorer And Willy Humphries is our wizard on the wing John Sillett is our full back Kenny Hale's at inside right Together we're united We are the boys in blue and white...
