    Luton have the more points than what we had from 35 games in the 105 points season. We would have been level top if this was last season with 68 points from 34 matches. We have lost 1 league game in 6 months !, have scored in every game, Luton on their best run ever, Barnsley 15 undefeated, all 3 of us still undefeated at home , and unlikely to lose, we might need 91 - 93 points to go up but can do it 7 4 1 win draw loss should do it. 4 at home 3 away 2 draws at home to Donc and Portsmouth wins at Wycombe, Accy and Southend draw at Barnsley and Peterborough. That one defeat though I hope does not come at Barnsley, but a cracking season this is.

    That's a lot of numbers and I can't be arsed to comment about them but I agree it's been a cracking season. It's been dark times in recent years and not only have we banished them we've done it in style. Ross has turned professional losers into a team that never loses and scores every single game.

    We are now at that stage in the Season that the strength of the squad starts to matter.

    Injuries and suspensions crop up and naturally, this tends to weaken most sides, (and the opposition to of course).
    It's how each Team is able to manage these situations that will count.

    The quality of the squad and the replacements' may be the difference.
    We appear to be well covered except for the Keeper.

    Yeah, if we win at Wycombe then I think we can afford to play for the draw at Barnsley (or the draw will suit us more than it suits them)

    Nah just go there and batter the ****s. We can't fear any team in this league and I don't like to take chances personally.

    While that may be true, it's a great opportunity to give out truly magnificent Away Supporters the chance of a great day out.

    No reason not to have both.
