I would say contenders at this stage but if they are top of the league then we haven't got anything to worry about but I think they played poor so we cannot get too confident. We need points on the road equally as a decent home form but it's a great starting pointAre we looking like champions?

Yep, before we even start to think about champions we need to sort out our away form. Seemingly though we HAVE deserved more from away matches, but it does need sorting out. Home form overall has been great and we should never have lost against Newport.
We have lost 3 in 9. Replicated over a season that would surmount to 15 loses. Only one team out of the top 7 last season lost 15 matches or more. The next worse was 12.
We need to turn these away defeats into draws at least.
If we are looking at automatic promotion .....
Top 3 season before
Northampton 5 defeats
Oxford 8 defeats
Bristol 13 defeats
Top 3 the season before that
Burton 8 defeats
Shrewsbury 11 defeats
Bury 13 defeats
Before that
Chesterfield 8 defeats
Scunthorpe 5 defeats
Rochdale 13 defeats.
Bottom line is we need to only be losing around 11 or 12 games tops. Already lost 3, so probably no more than 9 more defeats for the rest of the season.
Yep, clocked that.Only 8 teams haven't already lost 3
Last season, top 7
Portsmouth 11 defeats
Plymouth 11 defeats
Doncaster 11 defeats
Luton 9 defeats
Exeter 17 defeats
Carlisle 11 defeats
Blackpool 12 defeats
The first goal changed everything. And the first goal was fortunate. After the goal, we grew in confidence and their game plan went out of the window. In the end we should have won by three or four. But having non-scoring strikers in the team is a bit of a handicap.
I thought it was a poor game, but I think we'll see that pattern continue, where we teams come and sit tight, then a goal for us and the game completely stretches and opens up.
The defence look rock solid, but for me, I'd love to see Kelly play slightly further up the pitch, I think we struggle up front. Jones is the only outlet and if we could get similar player on the other side we'd be strong contenders for the title, still a lot of improvement needed in both personal and performance, but I think we've made a solid start and hope we can continue.
No he wasn'tNo Biamou was fucking awful.
2nd half at Carlisle.I'm sure Kelly played slightly further forward a few games ago and it did look more effective. Struggling to remember which game it was.
I was thinking Carlisle but thought it couldn't have been due to the first half performance but you're right, it was for the 2nd 45.2nd half at Carlisle.
And we only attack for 1 half a game. S0 many gears to go up yet
We are the immovable object
And working on become the irresistable force as well!
Got to agree there. The other worrying thing is that at the minute we are pinning our hopes on a 19 year old.Lovely feint from JJ to get past 3 of their men for the own goal. Wasn't too keen on him last year but seems he's relishing being the main man this year.
It's Jodi's 20th birthday on October 22nd, day after the Colchester home game, we should let him know we appreciate his efforts!
Concrete Rod should start bellowing "THOU SHALT NOT PASSSSSSSSSS!!!!" at the enemy. With Braveheart face paint on.
