Of course teams have gone on (and we have too) 7/8 game undefeated streaks and more but realistically I don't think we are a side that will do that too often. Cheltenham will be a decent game, it's the best side they've had since we've been back in the league. Score draw for me, another draw v Rotherham, loss to Shrewsbury, beat Morecambe, draw with Bradford. So that's a conservative tally of 6 points. i think we're a middle of the road side for this league with a slim outside bet of the playoffs. I think we'll probably see that over the next 5 games, but hey who knows. Maybe we might win them all?!

Agree with this simply because that is the reality of football, it never works out the way it ought on paper. But then...
I also think that this applies to Cheltenham and Morecambe (look where they are at present). The only genuinely outstanding side among those we play in the next 5 matches are Rotherham who are now properly ready to go up.

We CAN go our next 5 without losing, but we almost certainly won't.

Matt.

Heres a cheltenham slant on things - they seem to rate us! http://www.robinsnestforum.co.uk/viewto ... f=2&t=7199" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Can I be excused from this conversation, after all I do have a vested intrest in the small head, big brained one...or is that small brain, big head?? I have no idea.

I don't expect us to lose any of them .... but then again I never do!

For me, it's not the next five games, only the next immediate one. I'll come back to this pertinent point later.

Swiftly on then beyond the next game and the other four to follow, to the home game against the Daggers on January 7th 2012.

Up to and including the Daggers game we will have played 18 more League games, (11 home, 7 away) including 2 games against Argyle home and away. Our festive fixtures in particular, favour us very well with regard to zero travel.

The 11 home/7 away will balance out in the New Year/second half of the season. We need to gain the upper hand this side of Jan 7th.

Now back to the pertinent point. Factor in injuries/suspensions/loss of form and the early rounds of the FA Cup including possible replays, and things can change and look different. If we get to the FA Cup 3rd Round, we won't be playing the League match against the Daggers on Jan 7th.

Then there's the weather. Remember November/December last year ?

I'm looking forward to the next immediate game, hopefully we'll bag 3 points, then we'll move on from there.

A true sage Trojan and I would have said that myself if I had time but I didn't so just went for winning all of them!

Hmm. Looks like we're going to draw all of them....

Our highest position this season has been 4th, our lowest position 12th.

We are currently in 10th position.

Next up are Shrewsbury. We'll see where we are after that one.
