It's reached that point.... (2 Viewers)

Yes it's reached that point where if we don't stay up I'll be very disappointed to say the least, and surprised even cos the lads AND the manager have shown exactly what they can do.

I said in a post a few weeks before we went on our present run, that we shouldn't despair, that 'every team has a purple patch and we haven't had ours yet'. Well I'm glad I was right, but the last thing I want is to see it come to an end now...now, having just won our first away game.

I have to say though I'm confident, and with that I've noticed myself able to breath much more deeply these days. PUSB

we may have improved vastly on the results front hope we can maintain the run

If we don't stay up now its going to make relegation very hard to take. I had prepared myself for it a few weeks ago, now being a fickle football supporter I'm not even thinking about it so lets hope they don't make any stupid mistakes against Posh or Bristol!

 

[1nilandwe...]

I think an important part of the Posh game (and the rest of the season for that matter) will be not picking up injuries and hopefully being able to give some guys a bit of a rest for Monday. It's been a long old season for most of our lads and I just hope that tired legs don't bog us down now we've hit some form.

Can't see how we will get relegated from here on in.

The team in form, excellent home record, the side with momentum, good spirit, out of the bottom 3 for the first time in 5 months and now unbeaten in 3 away games.

If we fook it up from here we need shooting!! People were saying it was in our hands before ..... well look at it now! We have a good looking fixture list and it could be that we could go to Bristol now, lose and still be in pole position and ahead of them!

We surely will survive now won't we? Only thing that can go wrong I feel is a stack of ill luck, such as dodgy penalty decisions, key injuries, freak goals and sending offs etc.

You have to fancy us against Peterborough and you have to think we have a good chance against Bristol too. Must say, I am very confident going into the Peterborough game. Our home form has been excellent and they do ship in goals.

When you think about it, our home form's been good for quite a while. It's the thing that's kept us in there. We've just got our away form (it seems) sorted and I can't see that ending at the moment. Everyone's confident and everyone knows what their job is. We'll stay up. Not only that I also think we'll finish above Millwall.

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

I'd like to think the dodgy decisions are behind us young Otis - we should have won at Watford. Had what appeared to be a perfectly good goal not been disallowed, we'd be two points better off than where we currently are, and already 3 points ahead of Bristol

Otis, talk like that makes me very nervous. Fate is a cruel mistress.

Exactly right Otis. There is plenty of our pouring of support for AT at the minute because we finally won one away and got fortunate in the process. But that's football if we don't balance the effects of good and bad luck by making things happen then we deserve nothing.

 

[kg82]

Fortunate in the process of winning at Hull? Because of the own goal?

 

[BurbageSkyBlues]

Our biggest hurdle is complacency, in thinking we have done it. I have maintained all along that it is in our hands - and it still is.

AT has to remind the players that we have given ourselves a chance, and we have to complete the job to take it.

There will be more twists and turns before the end of the season. Our aim has to be to climb above millwall; if we do that, we will be ok, IMO.

The key thing is not to concede, even when we are hit by bad results. Looking at a week before Xmas, we were bottom of the table, and ten points adrift. Two home wins later, we had significantly closed those gaps.

A season is not won or lost with one game.....so don't lose faith even if we don't beat posh at the weekend. Some think this is an (almost) certain win, just don't be too sure, they are good at scoring. It will be a tough game!

 

[wingy]

personally i'd like at least ten more points,have felt 47-8 points will be the required target this year,a haul of 35 from the second half of the season,remarkable and on a par with AB s scintilating start to last season .truelly a season in reverse,we do have to turn up though ,should not take it all for granted ,do feel highly confident though since the start of the much improved form from Christmas.

All that matters upto 5pm on Saturday is Peterborough. Nobody should be thinking about Bristol because if they do its a sure fire way that we will slip up on Saturday.

Same here. From pre season I was sure we'd be relegated. Somehow over the last few weeks we've go on a run and i've actually got some hope of survival.

Probably just a SISU trick to make me let my guard down then put us into administration on the last day so we go down!
