    That's right folks we have started the season off by being in the relegation zone, not being negative here as it is just the fact of reality .....

    Coventry deducted 10 points are in effect 7th/8th so we are a true 21st with 3 from 15 .6pts a game last season .89 pts a game

    HOWEVER we are beginning to settle and the future can only be up up up, the biggest disappointment is Peterbro losing on Sat as I cant see them losing to many times twice on the trot so a draw on Saturday will be a big result. Its amazing how many teams are in the top half who were expected to be in the bottom and vice versa...

    ...Colchester in place of us????

    BCFC you've had a warm up now lets put the squeeze on the rest of them thar apples in the barrel and give us some juicy results

    We'll be there for real come Saturday with us having no game if others pick up points, and if Baldock is allowed to leave and isn't replaced, we could easily be there next May.

    I really am optimistic about the long term future of our club.

    The fixture computer was not kind to us with a very tough start, but our young side shows great promise.

    by tough do you mean Bradford Wolves Peterbro and Swindon in the first 10 fixtures..... in reality these fixtures should be worth 7 points I am still optimistic on getting 82 points, . . . . . . .I have like any others until before we play our next league game to amend my "forcast on how many before the season ends we will get...even Hawk with his 93 can amend!!!!!

    notice you haven't made a forcast!!!

    I Still believe that this team that is evolving at BS3 is more than capable of going on a 12-15 match unbeaten run and rapidly racking up the points

    I think we are just short of the sting potential. . . .we could possibly rack up 3 lots of 5 wins that's 48 points and 20 games taken care of...the other 26, I don't think we will lose more than 3 on the trot more than twice in the other 20 games win 7 draw 7 lose 6 total points that's........ 76 points


    that's 6 short of my prediction and they were lost at Bradford MK and Gills...!

    We havent won a cup game in about what 7 or 8 years something stupid like that and this season we have won every cup game (and another soon to be against rovers) but we cant win a league game.

    Dropping Fontaine has meant we have stop letting in stupid goals but we still cant keep a clean sheet as we are giving too much space to the other team and even though we are scoring goals we seem to waste too many chances

    Peterborough have a game on Saturday, so unless they lose that and against us that would be 3 on a trot not 2

    7 points eh..? - ok, let's look at it

    Bradford - a very well supported team on the up and on a roll, used to winning and who also beat Watford, Wigan, Arsenal and Villa last year - explain why you expected 3 points (show your workings)

    Wolves - still got some very decent players left and most importantly, appointed Kenny Jacket in the summer which will make all the difference (I had them struggling before that appointment) - I presume you expected a point here..?

    Peterborough - too good for this league and score goals for fun in this division, probably too strong for us in our early stages, would love to win but more hopeful of a point

    Swindon, got 3 Spurs players on loan - another easy 3 points...?

    G1 x / d4 = s2 x 2 =4
    g2 / 6D+M4

    Its all to do with expectations, for the first half dozen games or so anything can happen. .bit like Bolton given no real chance by most half way through last season but they had a fixture run in against teams that had failed to deliver and were floundering and if they wanted it could do well they missed the play off's by a whisker another goal against Blackpool who finished in bottom 10 and who knows...PREM TEAM 2013-14? its who you play and when, Coventry was no fluke they are flying..........

    Should we wish to play with the big boys we have to win or at least draw
    last 5 seasons I did a table based on certain facts and traits ....and a bit of expectation...that is the seeds were what you expected teams would do in the first 5-6 games, then TAKE ON the predictor, first was almost spot on, second and third wernt bad, last 2 seasons everything went awry, our last 10 games last season we had given up

    Peterbro would be a good point, so would Swindon BUT TO GET THE 7 WE NEED TO WIN THEM BOTH............. SIMPLES
