94 points.
The win at Shrewsbury hasn’t happened, but in my view it must.
The problem that would remain after a win at Shrewsbury if it happens is the six points dropped at home to Bristol Rovers and Port Vale.
Those six points would require winning three away games in addition to a win at Shrewsbury.
That means winning at Derby, Lincoln and Wigan and being back on track by 31st October. All whilst winning each home game.
The billionaires who sacked Holden presumably did it because they share the same aspirations as me, and like me now expect Appleton to deliver those wins, otherwise why lose money by sacking Holden?
I suppose those Billionaires might not give a damn about results but hope to recoup money by selling off any assets we might have. If that’s the case they can eff off as far as I’m concerned.
For Appleton to be judged a success in my eyes he has to build on his solitary win so far and win the next eight matches (yes eight) and then we can go away to Portsmouth in good heart.
[Edit: Seth can’t put pressure on the team or manager obvs 😂. I was speaking more as a general fanbase. If we all had Seth’s expectation it would turn very toxic very quickly.]Unfortunately I’m led to believe that history tells us that we’ve already lost about as many games this season that would suggest automatics would be statistically highly unlikely. But of course we’ll go in to each match hoping and trying to win it. That’s all we can ask.
You can lose more than 4 games and still get automatic promotion.
30 wins, 12 draws and 4 defeats = 102 points.
(Not that we will go undefeated from now on).

What a depressing image, we actually love this league
186 wins in 427 games is abysmal..11 -
I can't see two teams running away with it this season. You have to take that into account as some seasons you need more points than others. I don't think it is helpful, when you have a poor start, looking at the table. Just think in terms of runs. We have 7 points from 9 now, if we win on Saturday it will be 10 from 12. That will constitue a good run, then I think we have two home games and it potentially could become a great run.
It is a cliche, but we can't run before we can walk. We need to take each game as it comes and hopefully the increased confidence and players returning will put us in a good place.1 -
Sage said:Don’t think it’s fair to say about Camara injury record.
He had a bad injury last season which kept him out for nearly all of it.
He didn’t have a full pre-season with us or at Ipswich, he is now injured but hopefully will be back within the next weeks.He’s played 103 league games for Crawley (29, 45, 29).
81 league games for Plymouth (40 and 41).
But last season and the start of this one has been difficult for him.
Let’s put things into perspective…
He’s only 26 and has played nearly 200 league games.
He’s the same age as Tennai Watson, who has only played 90 league games.
He’s the same age as CBT who has only played 120 or so league games.
Dobson is 26 in November and has played around 40 league games more than Camara, but Camara missed practically the whole of the season last year.5 -

"The "offside" given for a player not remotely troubling play was a shocking decision, but we lost our heads and gifted them a third."
"And yes the officials had a brain fart on the GMac moment but prior to that the ref had been pretty good with letting play go. Did we mentally switch off as a result? "
Offside was given against the first player who was deemed to be interfering with play. I believe he moved the ball and then stopped before Mccleary ran on to the ball.0 -

I mentioned it in the post match thread, it was a shocking decision. If it had happened to us we’d still be jumping up and down now and rightly so, it was that bad. Most here won’t remember it because it didn’t happen to us but the game went from possibly 2-2 to immediately 3-1.1 -

Quite right too...but let's not get back into that one, we will all be deleted...🙄1 -

I suppose those Billionaires might not give a damn about results but hope to recoup money by selling off any assets we might have. If that’s the case they can eff off as far as I’m concerned.

I don’t want the lottery of play offs, I want the certainty of automatic promotion under these wise billionaires expertly wrangled by Methven.I just can’t fathom what drives you to post like this. It must be for the attention/notoriety as I really can’t see what else would drive this post. I guess you feed off what you think is shock and horror but it just comes over as being very childish.9 - Sponsored links:

Braziliance said:ladies and gents, it's up.
Absolutely buzzing with that result, short & sweet; Appleton subs made a difference, CBT is the best winger in this league, Tennai Watson looked rapid, Wycombe couldn't cope with us on the wings (cheers Corey) and on a game that could have swung either way, we took the lead and didn't look back.
COME ON YOU ADDICKS!!!

As a dinosaur I had to google them as I wondered if they had any connection to Tony McPhee of the Groundhogs who had a big hit with Cherry Red in 1970 ish?
Two things:-
(1) I have not since logged on to CL without seeing an ad for Cherry 'kin Red Records.
(2) yes they are connected - for a very long explanation see below.

Are you a superior being that assumes to sit in judgement of others, is that what you feed off?

Looking at all the games from last Saturday it's actually Charlton who picked up the most unlikely win . It should have been Micky Apple in that list.14 -
