Bump - Second best all over the park.
Today a stark reminder where we currently are as a football club.

Real sad knowing nothing gets any better until these Chancers are all gone.

There are points up for grabs until the end of the season. Your game at Carlisle especially is a target to get some & take points away from them. Third bottom is the safety target for a few clubs so it's about who holds their nerve & battles over the coming few months.
 
Good point for you today, in your position it's about grinding out and battling for results & it's now a five point gap to a relegation place. Before you say games in hand, points in the bag are what counts. It's tightening up at the bottom end for an escape so I reckon one or two more will be dragged into it.

Definitely- Better team today. Just lacked composure in the 18 yard box.
We look a much better side.
Could do with winning a few away games.

All about the positives. Winning games at home and remaining away games only 2 teams to play in the top half of the league.
Carlisle are signing some gems mind. Could still have a few other sides getting sucked in.

Sorry about my late reply but your response hadn't shown up in alerts.

It takes a bit of time for a new manager's beliefs to start getting across. Results show Olly's set-ups are having an effect. Composure comes with time as the team show capability of getting results. Getting a 0-0 at Crewe can only help, mental strength will grow with that because if you can keep a clean sheet a single scrappy goal wins you games

Don't start getting greedy mind, just keep plugging away & taking points to get you safe.

Carlisle have signed some players but it's still about what Williamson gets them to do so watch that space. And yes there'll still be another couple dragged into the bottom two battle.

Don't become blase about playing only two from the top half, from mid table down will all be looking over their shoulder to scrap & stay out of it, no easy points but your lot have a tall forward to play off who can also score goals so if the rest of the team can defend how Olly tells them you're in with a decent shout.

Sorry again this should have been on my previous post.

Going to be a few twists and turns.
Need to beat Barrow at home Saturday.
 
What a cracking win, not the best performance but Holloway has turned this shit around. Last 5 home league games won 4 and drawn 1.
Dragged other clubs into it now. No way are we out of it and injuries and no money could still hit us but the tune he is getting out of the same players is impressive.
The players like him and it shows.
Biggest difference is our improved fitness and when we don’t have the ball.

Feeling a little more at ease at that feels good.
Driving to Newport Friday and a point would be superb.

You can’t help liking his interviews. If he carry’s on he can say what he likes.

We simply cannot get relegated.

You can't knock Holloway's interviews, he takes the pressure away from the players.

Is the style of play his usual? High energy, fast and frantic?
