I still think we will be closer to the drop zone than we would like come the end of the season, but the bookies are more confident - still have us at 80/1 to go down!

This period reminds me a bit of that earlier in the season where we were so low on bodies and the results just tailed off massively. We just need to try and keep the points ticking over a little until the squad numbers can return and try and get some sharpness into those coming back. I am a big fan of Ben Fox when he is fit but he has looked very sluggish (understandably) upon his return.
I still think we will be fine but finishing around 16/18th is very likely imo.

And Fox cannot defend. He has been responsible for a goal in each of his last two games. Both times he waited for the ball to come to him, with an opposition player in close proximity. Thats not just very sluggish, thats very naive. |

I dont disagree with that but his injury last season was from throwing himself in for a block. I wonder if the mental scars of that are yet to heal. |

Both times it wasnt a case of going in for a block, more a case of not advancing towards the incoming ball, to get in front of the attacking player. I take your point though. |

Feels like we are discovering that our back ups and in some case our back up back ups are not up to L1.

It’s very obvious isn’t it, bit harsh on Fox coming back from injury after injury, looks like he’s picked up a “knock” last night as well FFS, I’d get rid of him the second the season finishes along with the rest of your list. Of the injured players even probability dictates at least one or two should be back soon, Ali Kioki has been out for month’s as has AK, what’s going on with McGowan and Sherring, Sowerby and McWilliams? |

We still look relatively safe. In only one of the previous eight seasons we've been relegated from the third tier have we been in a better position than we are now. The 1968/9 season being the exception.  |
It's all about balance.

That's nothing, Fenners on another thread has been talking about what it's like to be on the job 10 hours. I'd be lucky to make 10 minutes! |

The 1968/9 season being the exception. Looks like the London Underground map after a few ales...made worse last night with the sudden announcement at Leyton station that there would be no trains! Que packed buses to Stratford, overground and underground (Wombling free) back to Kings X for a quick half at the Rocket (😮) before getting the 23.09 from Euston! Does the Jubilee Line mean we are staying up? |

We got caught up with that, bussed to Canning Town, then tubed to Waterloo to find that they'd cancelled our train and had to wait another hour. |

The rest of this month and March is brutal for fixtures.
Hopefully, we are not totally out of form when the potentially more winnable games come round in April.
I still think we will be closer to the drop zone than we would like come the end of the season, but the bookies are more confident - still have us at 80/1 to go down!
Could be worth a punt  |
