League one top six

Post by Highwood Man »

Of the current top six, we conceded 4 against Portsmouth, 3 each against Derby, Bolton, Stevenage and Oxford and just the one against Peterborough. I think that there is quite a big gap between those six (and possibly Barnsley and Blackpool too) and the rest of the division. Three massive and winnable games coming up against Charlton, Wycombe and Cambridge. A return of 7 points would be very acceptable - but can we do it?

I'd snatch your hand off for 6 points

I'm not confident because we can't defend . The first ten minutes yesterday was embarrassing .

That will do nicely. 7 points and 3 clean sheets.

That certainly will do nicely . I'm now optimistic we' can give Portsmouth a much tougher game than we did at home .

Nailed it didn't he. We'd gone 10 games without keeping a clean sheet, wouldn't have taken any odds on us getting 3 in a row!

My pessimism looks rather misplaced too.
