Or is that still being negative

No. You are only in crisis if you are facing relegation. We are in trouble, but still in a promotion race.

At least it's the end of Jittery January playing wise
Got 3 more days of transfer window to navigate though

End of jittery January now into fading February

Not crisis but watching today you do have to wonder if we’ve got the tactical know how to stay where we are as teams adapt to us.

Play Kelman then lob long balls all game? I don’t rate smith (see sitter from 6 yards) but if you’re gonna go long ball then start him.

Confidence is low, fitness is low for some key players. Hopefully we need to ride this out, get people fit, tinker with our tactics and take advantage of the easier schedule we have until the end of the season

You can forget about any new strikers coming in . We've stopped creating chances anyway .

EuroSlope , No one is burying "there heads in the Sand" , We're just not being Miserable C#NTS !!

confidence has completely gone.
hopefully they will get it back before its to late.

Based on current form (last six), we’ll end up finishing 8th with 72 points, one place outside the play offs. Carlisle, Stevenage & Walsall will be the top three.

Based on current form (last ten), we’ll end up finishing 3rd with 84 points, behind Stevenage and Carlisle, and just ahead of Walsall.

Form changes so it won’t end up like that, but it highlights what we all know in that we can’t score and are in poor form, which seemed to start with the injuries and red at Northampton. I’m hoping the incoming loanees will settle in and we’ll get going again, continuing on last six form would have been unthinkable just a few weeks ago. Something needs to happen and soon.

I notice when someone disagrees with Tuffers, he responds by name calling and being extremely rude. He never seems to be pulled up for this.

Agree. Something needs to change quickly to get back on track again if we are to get promoted and picking up points again. No doubt losing Beckles for 3 games and Dans bad knee injury was all part of this bad run. We had been struggling to score goals for a while now but our tight defence helped to pick up points, Time for now for a reset, Also to consider that even if we were to gain promotion, the team must be strong enough to hold its own in Division One, no good going up then coming straight back down again !

At the moment Leyton Orient are the last of my worries, I fell over on the icy path on December 15th and ruptured my knee, in agony for 3 weeks and still on crutches.

To be honest I have my doubts Sid
exists as a " real life person "
I Did read over on the other board one
of our old contributors was on
crutches not just for slipping on Ice
But for having problems with both of his
knees & an ACL 50 years ago !

Over there he said it happened
on the 17th of december not the 15th
& it was " badly twisted & Not Ruptured " !

See for yourself
