Won 7 lost 4 and drew 3 since he has picked the team in the League. That is top 8 form or do you disagree ?
As I said if our spine goes down we will struggle but Inniss/Dobson/ Gilbey/Stockley/Aneke with Washington more central will see as rise up the table to finish 8th to 10th. Unfortunately they will get more knocks and we will continue to win lose and draw in equal measure.
You don't like the word but we are in transition(again!) and we don't need 4 wingers we need wing backs and always two up front in this division.
Yes but it's happened twice in the last 18 months, if it happens a 3rd time we will be relegated. If this blip remains just a blip we won't be.
7 of the last 9 teams promoted out of this divsion played, predominantly 1 or 3 (depending on your point of view) up front. The only 1 with a 2 was us!
Yeah it is, but that's just looking at stats and not actual performances. Personally don't think there's any point looking at his overall record, but look at our most recent run, because we are so far away from the side we were when he first took over. I have only missed one match since JJ took over as caretaker, and I can confidently say there is nothing being shown that would suggest we're finishing top 8.
8 point cushion after tonight's excellent win. Let's hope we can maintain or improve it.
9 if you include our much better GD.
Dont think we will go down or be involved in a proper relegation scrap. Looks like there might only be 1 place up for grabs anyway so I think we'll be safe by mid March.
The spine of the team stays fit and 8th to 10th is possible. We lose Dobson, Inniss, Aneke and Stockley at the same time plus Fraser takes time to be fit and the play maker then we are looking at 18th or 19th.
Today's win makes us virtually safe. If we had lost to the Wombles the 6 point swing might have made things a bit tense, with 2 tough away games coming up, but now we have a massive cushion and can think about looking upwards
Us picking up points in the next two games would be a welcome surprise, but don't see it at the moment. After that we have Gills, Burton and AFCW coming up, these will be very big games...
As poor as we have been, I look at our last 10 games, I look at the players we have coming back from injury, and I look at how poor some of the teams below us are at picking up strings of results, and just can’t see us getting close to getting relegated.
I almost think it’s not even worth debating about. But here we are.

16 points from 18 games now needed.
I was almost braced for a last minute equaliser, Stockley out for the season, Innis out for months, Burstow not coming back and an Aneke red card.

wimbledon are playing Cheltenham tonight. At least one of those teams will be dropping points.
we are not in a relegation battle and I'll put my neck on the block here and say that we are not getting relegated.
He took over in 22nd place.
Adkins record:
2 wins 9 Losses 3 Draws= 9 points from 14 games.
Our last 3 League games DWW.

The 6 points this week were massive in the sense we don't need to look over our shoulder any more. 2 or less points would have been very different.
I do think we'll run it far closer than we should and Jackson should be allowed to see out the year and then moved on.
We need to win against them both at the Valley and beat Donny away.
