As long as we approach the games in the right mindset and play with the right intensity, I’m confident we can take maximum points from those games. One game at a time though.Quote:

Plus we maintain our unbeaten start to the season.
I would have taken the point before kick off tonight. We have 5 points (1.67ppg) and to be automatic promotion contenders we need to be averaging 2 points a game. So we are only a point short of that.
It's the games coming up against the likes of Aldershot, Wealdstone and Weymouth where we need to be winning and gaining some points and momentum. The results against the lesser teams like these will have a far bigger bearing on our season than a point gained against the likes of Torquay and Wrexham.

I suppose it's all about expectations. If you rate a performance where we took our only real chance to get a point as excellent because we were playing the mighty Wrexham, you will probably see us finishing 10th as a good season. I just wonder what word you will use when in my opinion we really are excellent. We were decent today, we certainly weren't "excellent".Quote:

Time will tell, but I'm struggling to see how playing Torquay (1 point from 9) at home with a man advantage for 75% of the game will be one of our toughest two fixtures. Maybe I expect too much.Quote:

There are different reasons a performance can be viewed as excellent. Tactical, positional discipline. We’ve shown a different side to our footballing capabilities. Maybe I’m a tiny bit excited, but my overriding view of the performance, was excellent.

Looks like a major play off hangover.Quote:
