its simple for me, in every game I've seen we've improved, some of football Tuesday was best in years, some less than good, but at least we failed trying to move forward rather than failing passing backwards
People need to realise, its a league not dominated by anyone, even those with budgets twice the size of us are loosing to Nuneaton and the like. We will loose at places like ALfreton, Dover teams all have very good players who just happen not to want to be full time players - it doesnt make them worse at football!
So look at a series of games not every result.
1.7 points per game average or more will be a successful season, whether that's enough will depend on what other teams do.
Certainly people should be celebrating away points wherever we play, as those points even draws will be critical at end of the season, and fans panicking when we go behind at away grounds wont help, fans backing the side like the backing after the Nuneaton goal may help us turn some loses to draws. With a continued decent home record and 5/6 wins and 5 draws away we'll be somewhere handy imo.
DC is absolutely right, fear and anger on the terraces translates quickly to anxiety on the field both home and away.
Time to dust of that Twerton spirit which applied home and away when we also had a group of lads who really wanted to play for Bristol Rovers.Whether people think they are good enough they cant change, but as long as they put in the hard yards game in game out is all we can expect them to do.
I am more confident now than beginning of the season when like so many I feared a Stockport situation, its all of our 'jobs' to ensure that doesnt happen.
