There have been two massive changes this season. Firstly, we have strengthened defensively to a point where you can argue we are the best defence in the league and secondly, we have attacking options we didn't have at the start of the season. If we can keep our players fit, there is no reason we can't continue this form.1

This isn’t meant in anyway negative as I think we have a great chance at the automatic spot but I think if we fail it will be because we are not scoring enough. Our strikers are having a lean spell and if they can get their mojo back we have a fantastic chance1

As strong as we feel, over the course of the year, and despite our high league position we've been a bit meh.0 -

Won 8
Drawn 2
Lost 1 (against the best team in the division and one that has conceded 23 goals all season)
Average points per game: 2.36
For 18
Against 6
Scorers: Godden (4), Gillesphey (3), Small (2), Leaburn (1), Campbell (1), Anderson (1), Edwards (1), Berry (1), Ramsay (1), Jones (1), OGs (2)
It would be wonderful if we had someone who was banging in goals, week in, week out. But the point I keep trying to make is that having to rely on that one scorer makes it easier to stop us scoring as a team. Our two strikers (Leaburn and Godden) still have 5 goals but even ignoring the OGs, no less than TEN different players have scored for us in those 11 games.
If Leaburn or Godden had 30 goals between them at this stage of the season and they stopped scoring but no one else was getting them then we would be in real trouble. But it is the likes of Gillesphey at set pieces and Ramsay, Edwards and Jones making runs into the box and not being picked up because of a pre-occupation of the opposition watching the likes of Godden, Leaburn, Campbell and Small that makes us such a threat especially against tired legs and minds late on.

To be fair, it sort of highlights how shit the league is for me in regards to attacking options this year.
Our goals aren't particularly exciting (not that I care) and it has felt like a few games our goals are a bit fortunate. No disputing how good the backline is, it's incredible. But upfront we look out of ideas at times.
Wigan is a big test, they don't concede many, only 3 more than us for the whole season. I will be very happy to see us win again, but I've looked at this team the last few games and they look tired.3 -

I can see why Jones has given Gilbert and Leaburn starts, as they ask different questions to the opposition, and it gives Berry and Godden a rest.4 -
At this time I'm actually an alive Charlton supporter and although we have a chance of 2nd place, too much talking about it is making me uneasy.
I don't suppose that when I'm 'unalive' I'll have much idea one way or the other, whenever that time arrives.1 -

With our forward options atm, there is so much pressure on Small and especially TC. I'd argue we are unlikely to get promoted if we lose TC as he's that important.
Godden has been scoring, and exceeded expectations, but he just can't play every minute of every game and be as alive as the likes of TC (or May, I'm ok, honest).
Jones has played it right, and it's a fantastic points return, my concern is we may run out of steam now. I don't think we will lose many, but I can see some draws in these final games.
I hope the lack of costas and high gives these boys a second wind 😂6 -

I'm going to a wedding on May 3rd so guaranteed we'll secure second place on the final day, you're welcome2

If we win tomorrow and Wycombe draw with Wrexham, that will put us 3 points away from both. All ifs and buts I know but we are not far away. Looking at Wycombe's run in, I wouldn't mind them winning.3

Our issue isn't the number of goals we score, the thing that will decide where we end up is our away form. We've had some excellent results recently but we haven't always looked that convincing. I don't care as long as we keep getting the results but we need to win rather than draw a lot of these games and we've very much smashed and grabbed against Bolton and Orient, lost to Birmingham, threw away a winning position against Blackpool, cancelled ourselves out against Stockport and did an effective if uninspired job on Crawley. The question we need to answer is can we keep doing that to the end of the season or is it unsustainable to burgle results like the Orient and Bolton ones?The potentially interesting thing is we play Wrexham and Wycombe so late we might be able to dictate what a good result is there. Peterborough are resurgent and I'm a bit worried about that one but Mansfield appear to be on their holidays a bit and while Cambridge are fighting for their lives they are also a bit doomed. If we can get 7 points from that and 10 from our home games (a points total that is a big ask) then with some other results going our way we might be able to turn up to Wycombe and/or Wrexham away knowing that a draw hurts them and not us which isn't something any team will want going up against this side. Which will set us up perfectly to throw it away at home against Burton!4
