A Stags fan talking about having a fascination with another team! Lol. Oh the irony.

Well pretty much all of your posts have either been posts or digs about us, so yeah.

 

[WH_Stag]

Why does anyone feel the need to justify their team to the troll WH_Stag. Just ignore the fucker.

lol moron

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Seriously? You can't spot the irony of your statement?! Lol. Historically record breaking thread lengths between Mansfield/ Chesterfield !

It's hardly uncommon now is it, just look at any thread involving Lincoln or Grimsby. It's part of football and supporting a football club last time I checked buddy

 

[Sydney Posse]

Fantastic start for us, and in my view the best squad we have had probably since the 89/90 season. The depth should see us through the inevitable injuries along the way so expect us to be up there. I have picked this year to be abroad so am unfortunately reliant on watching the games on TV, but from what I have seen so far I think Lincoln will do well, and Barnet were pretty damn good against us as well. Haven't player the perceived big hitters yet though, tough couple of games coming up, good test

Bring back the promotion thread.

Us and Accrington are sticking with it for now.

 

[AdamStag]

We're starting to wake up

 

[Chris FGR]

Still only 12 points off the play offs. We're right in the mix.

Potentially of more significance to the promotion race than any one individual result last night:

We're completely fucked if Jones is out for a significant length of time

 

[william death]

Confirmed that Jones is out for the season having ruptured his ACL.

Awful news for the lad.

 

[SkyBluesRose]

We're completely fucked if Jones is out for a significant length of time

Out for the rest of the season

 

[SkyBluesRose]

Although now the important time comes in January - if we can get a few more decent goal-scoring strikers of the calibre of Jones in that upcoming transfer window we can still make it; otherwise we're doomed for midtable mediocrity.

Bit of a shitter for Coventry. Looked their only real creative player on Saturday.

Hey, we’re first in the queue!

Yeah. They’ll be loads of them available!

Excellent news from the incredibly accurate, definitely going to happen Sky Sports prediction machine.

It thinks Coventry aren't even going to make the playoffs as well, certainly a bold set of predictions.

I think it must give some serious weight to the fixtures that teams have got left. The only reason that I can see for it having us above Luton is that we’ve already played Luton, Coventry, Wycombe, Mansfield, Exeter and Swindon away from home and our home record is so good that it expects us to beat them all at ML.

Probably won’t work out like that.

"The Sky Sports predictor is based on a system called Elo, originally set up to rate chess players. It takes into account form, who your team still has left to play, and how well a team has done in previous seasons."

In short, 25% of the teams will be skewed because of promotion and relegation.

 

[jacobncfc]

We have been terrible for years so it can’t be that last one!

Jesus we are pretty much drawing the rest of the season 1-1 in that!

 

[jacobncfc]

It’s also got Luton, Notts, Mansfield and Lincoln all winning their remaining 10 home games, which seems a bit optimistic.

Well the one above had us going down in October now its got us mid table so its all bull anyway.

We've been fortunate to play the top 3 twice already in the first 3 reverse fixtures mind (beaten 2).

 

[Chris FGR]

With Mad Gav spearheading our epic revival, I wouldn't write us out of this thread yet.....

 

[shoddycollins]

What's a promotion thread?

 

[Chris FGR]

As a Carlisle fan I wouldn't bother finding out tbh.

It's a place for clubs like Luton, Notts and us who are RIGHT IN THE HUNT to post stuff.

 

[Youpies]

We won't win it. I'm pretty sure of that. Don't have the strength in depth of Luton. If two or three key players are out, we don't have a Collins to bring off the bench and do the business as they did against us.

What is interesting though is that Notts and Luton need roughly 30 points for an auto spot. That's bloody good going by this stage in the season

 

[Optipez]

For Notts the window is crucial.
We need a striker or two and equally as important , to hold onto Yates and Grant.
Our squad is pretty thin, against Swindon five of the seven on the bench wouldn't have strengthened any team in the division. We've played out of our collective skins most games this season scoring lots of late goals, but have had at least our share of the breaks on the way.
At some point , without a little depth and class being added we are going to hit the buffers.

As to the league in general, all the teams you'd expect to be up there are now.
Lincoln and Mansfield look like stayers, Luton to be comfortably going up. Coventry, Wycombe and Exeter pretty steady.
Colchester looked good at our place and wouldn't be at all surprised to see them climb and nudge out Wycombe or Exeter.
It's a shame for Accy, good team and manager but lack of resources over a long season just wears the smallest clubs down.
