Seven, yes seven games to get through in October, that's a tall order.
Six league games and one cup game but how will we fair?
Cambridge away - They are rock bottom and for a reason, with only 1 point to show for their efforts so far.
Drawn 1 and lost 5 with a goal difference of -7. Some say not all games have to be wins but for me, it's 3 points or nothing. Other clubs have played them and taken all 3 points so if we really want to get going, this is a game we simply HAVE to win.
Away win
Reading at home - They've won 2 drawn 1 and lost 3 and scored 2 more than us and have a -3 deficit. We've both lost 3 games. Having been battered by Bolton last Saturday, they next face Huddersfield who hopefully will soften them up even more before we play them. I don't think this will be an easy game when we meet. Draw
EFL Trophy - Newcastle U21's at home. A slight break away from the pressures of the League. Will Evans use this game to try another new formation? It's a nowt competition until you reach the semis so why not try using WING play for a change?
We know he won't use it in League games so why not experiment? Too hard to call.
Peterborough away - Always liked a game against them, maybe it's the dislike of MacAnthony and Fry.
Well they're certainly doing better than us. Won 3 drawn 1 lost 2 with a +1 goal difference having rattled in 10 goals so far.
Evans will want this one so bad and so will Posh want to rub his nose in it. Hopefully, we've picked up a few points by the time this game comes around. One player I know will be fired up for this one, as he'll want to show them he's still got it!Draw
Wrexham at home - It all comes crashing down to earth as the Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney roadshow hits town.
Table topping Wrexham are up there for a reason, they've spent large and have some great players. It will be a very warm welcome back for Ollie Rathbone and I hope he gets a great reception. Nothing more to say on this other than Home defeat
Leyton Orient away - We will have already played 4 games by the time we meet. The O's have won their last 2 games so may be building on something. It's a fair way off to give it a call so my heart says - Win
Stevenage at home - A legend returns! Yes, Alex Revell brings his team along to play us. He will surely get a rousing reception and rightly so. He's set off on a similar vein to us but they're 1 point in front and have played a game less than us so,
the Apprentice is currently showing his old Manager how it's done. It might be a close win, a shock loss but, I'm going for a Home win
Like I said, a big month coming up. To summarise:
Cambridge - Win
Reading - Draw
EFL -?
Peterborough - Draw
Wrexham - Loss
Leyton Orient - Win
Stevenage - Win
How do you see it all ending?
