THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Quite a few games/results during the shutdown period. How are we feeling? Personally I’m pretty happy. An excellent result against Crewe to get back on track ahead of a massive game this weekend. Beating Crewe and Mansfield in recent weeks is very encouraging ahead of what is to come.

We're going up and likely will win the league.

Still holding my breath until we get Walsall out of the way (coincidentally that's the same day as Wrexham/Mansfield). April however, Mansfield aside, looks a lot better and I'd be confident of achieving promotion if we get to April still in touch.

The Mansfield result gives me some hope but I still feel our away results will be the reason we miss out on auto's.

This isn't a recent issue and has been the main area of inconsistency under MW. We saw the exact same under RM too, where we could win at home but didn't pick up much away.

I think at home, where we have the majority of support, our slow build up play and 'keep ball' tactics are demoralising for the opposition. However, away from home where the opposition have the home support behind them, it doesn't have the same impact and they have extra drive to keep pushing to limit space and time on the ball.

It will go to the last game of the season in my opinion in terms of promotion. I don't think we will win the league, but my gut tells me we will grab that 3rd spot. Hopefully Wrexham miss out.

I'm still feeling like we'll finish fourth, the whole league is quite crazy and I just don't see any team stringing together any form, even us.

Yeah, feel like if we end up going up it'll be more down to luck than anything else. We're going to need to stumble over the line, much like we did in 18/19. There's still hope though.

Got this nagging feeling we're going to win the play offs. Not sure why, as we're historically beyond shit at them.

All I hope is that we avoid AFC entirely. I can't be dealing with that. I also think we'd absolutely crumble at their place if we got them in the semi's, similar (but worse) than we did against Wycombe.

Certainly agree with the first part of that - although I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

Very confident

Though the prospect of a play off final against AFC makes me nervous
