Hoping Derby have finally waved the flag by the time we face them

We've only won 3 out of our last 9 league home games - I'm not sure I'd call that having an advantage to be fair.

Then Notts Forrest, Fulham and Birmingham all away in the space of 9 days

Yes, important we pick up the points at home. A draw at Swansea would be a bonus if we can do that but we just weren't good enough last week, for whatever reason
The last 5 games form, if continued, will see us finish in 5th place
Hopefully Fulham will have decided job done, and start winding down by the time we face them. Feel like it could be a similar story with B'ham, Bournemouth, West Brom, and Stoke. Whilst Reading hang around just above relegation there could be quite a scrap down there, I think Derby away will be tough.

If not we’ll run it up the pole for them

Fans put a lot of stock in the idea that if you face a team 'with something to play for' you have less chance and if a team has nothing to play for you have more. I think every team goes out intending to get the best result they can. You often see an already promoted or relegated team go on a great run...

I was about to say with exception of the last league game before the League 2 play-off semis. But on second thoughts a point each was actually the best result for both sides.

maybe it would help if they did not water it to death minutes before they are due to kick off, always found that strange, especially when we have had alot of rain, maybe it is timed

Surely the groundsman knows what they're doing. It could be that it hardens and would bobble even worse if it wasn't watered.
Either way we need a new pitch. Bristol City the other week and Swansea on tomorrow both have rugby teams on the pitch and I guarantee it won't be as bad as ours.

It gets watered so that the ball zips off the surface rather than bounces excessively and slows down. People seem to have forgotten how bad St Andrews got at the back end of last season when it became very hard to play our football on.

The pitch should start to improve as we go into spring and it gets some sun on it.

In fairness he didn't say statistically.

OK, he said technically. Our pitch is worse than others so technically, I'd say its not an advantage either.

IF we are going to make the playoffs (we’re not), our fixtures are perfect. Yes we’ve got a really tough run of game but having the opportunity to take points off the teams around/above us is ideal. It’s kind of in our hands.
It won’t happen.

What? So you reckon those 5 teams will just go into the matches thinking ‘Fuck it,job done for this season’ - somehow doubt it

I can’t allow myself to get carried away.
I’m taking each game as it comes. I’ll be over the moon if it happens etc etc
