So 10 games in the next 5 weeks.
And look who they are:-
Morecambe – Home Stevenage – Home Mansfield – Away Southend – Away Scu.nthorpe – Home Barrow – Home Oldham – Away Bradford – Away Cambridge – Home Port Vale - Away
Surely, there are a lot of points for us there.
Get the new signings bedded in and romp up the league.

Ive gone through the could win/should win and i think par is 16 pts. Obviously we should aim for 30 pts but ive tallied up 18pts.
Not sure where that leaves our promotion push but anything below par and we dont make the cut.

To be honest OM, I really don’t see any reason, other than bad luck or bad refereeing, that we can’t win all of those games. The standard in this league is poor, which probably indicates how bad we’ve been but I genuinely believe with the quality IE has signed recently, we will transform into the team we’d all hoped for. Maybe I’m being over optimistic, I don’t know, but I just have a feeling that we’re going to burst out of our shell now and take the league by storm. We have to take it one game at a time as the old saying goes but I think if we do that there’s nothing to fear. For the first time we have genuine competition for places, which must keep the players on their toes. More importantly, we now have some characters in the team, who will demand performance, which I just don’t think we’ve had up to now and a level of experience that’s the complete opposite of that which we started the season with. The signings of Maddison, John, Lee, Jensen and Williams plugs the glaring holes that were costing us and added to the development of Brockbank, Thomason and Gnahoua, should massively improve our strength. Together with the regulars like Santos and Doyle we should now have enough to see anyone off if we play well. Let’s just hope it’s a season of two halves and we can still attain a play off spot because the sooner we get out of this division the better.

Anyone on here agree with me that FV’s decision to oust Keith Hill was a bit premature? ? I mean, apart from his mouth being in the wrong place, he knows this league better than anyone and now look at Trashmere?? 3rd in the league in the auto promotion spots 😞😞😞

Honestly Rioch no, i dont think it was the wrong decision. Based on his lunatic outburst. He wasnt sacked either but hr gave FV an easy choice.
We would not have sold 8000 season tickets with Hill. Maybe half that. The fans would not have stood for hill.
On whites63 point. If we are capable of winning 10 in a row why do we lie 20th at the half way stage. Need to readjust i think. Not to say rule it out and give up but just to base results on games played this season.

I think Hill was treated very unfairly actually. He wasn’t my first choice but I was prepared to back him until he seemed to lose the plot. I think when Phoenix came in he realised his time was up,Keith’s clearly not the algorithm type and I think begrudged having player recruitment taken from him. It’s irrelevant now though because we are where we are but I can only wish Keith the best, even though it’s Tranmere.

OoM Before a ball was kicked this season, we were 69th in the league out of 92 teams, we now currently sit in 88th position out of 92, whereas Trashmere currently sit, almost joint top - game in hand, which would put them in that 69th position, call him what you will and I’ve said a few harsh words on Hill, he knows this league better than any other manager in it and who’d back against him getting Trashmere up? Best he could have done with our crop and the transfer windows Evatt has had, would of at least been a play off spot! That quarter of a million we were robbed of by Barrow could have helped Hill in some way (yes I know the embargo) but perhaps might have enticed perhaps David Nugent to the ReeMac on loan rather than him join Trashmere and also would have been a better bet than some of the non descripts Evatt has signed. Yes, his loose lips did far too much spouting, but given time, he’d have sorted this job out and we wouldn’t be sat in 88th position out of 92 Poor poor manager we have

W63 If SuperJohn, Nat or SKD were manager of Trashmere I would still never wish them well, ever

He did well initially but he lost the fans. He may well know this league but he aint got much success at the ones above and beyond which is where we want to go. Tranmere were relegated on a technicality last season and therefore should have been massive favourites to win this league. Keith Hill was a we can do well in this league. Evatt was a we be much better.
