We really need to start picking up wins and soon, although the next two or three games are unlikely. Yesterday, we looked much more solid in defence, Bedeau was my MotM. O'Connor was a close second, but had one mistake that really should have gifted their lad a goal but fortunately he fluffed it completely and we got away with it, but otherwise, he was excellent too.
The very obvious problem is, if teams stop Stockton from scoring, they stop Morecambe from scoring.
Doncaster look doomed.
Gillingham look like joining them.
Crewe are picking up points and their win against us was a massive 'six pointer' for them. If they escape the drop zone, who replaces them? Fleetwood's win against Rotherham was as huge as it was unexpected. We now need to repeat their feat and pick up points from high-flying sides.
Cheltenham are looking like they are in free-fall at the moment, so I can see them dropping in to the danger zone quickly. Bolton will no doubt throw money they owe to other people, at new players during the transfer window, so probably drag themselves clear. Who else? Despite their great result yesterday, Fleetwood's transfer embargo will probably catch up with them before the end of the season and they may simply run out of legs.
The defence is looking much better with Bedeau & Carson. Get other players chipping in with goals and we should pull ourselves clear. Further strengthening during the window will help. Although if Cole was to leave, we'd be struggling!
As we're just past the half-way point, I feel confident that we catch a few other teams. But sooner rather than later please! As Red Alert said elsewhere, it's exciting in League One!
