It's extremely tight and very competitive.
Cheltenham are 14th with 30 points
Doncaster are in autos on 36 points. That's mental.

Yes, the Salford performance was unacceptable but since then we've literally gone back to our old selves and killed it and that's a sign that the manager and players are up for the fight.
We looked like the home team today. We made MK look extremely average.

Whoever the 'Maynard out' idiots are. Keep your banners in your cellar and stop crying like little girls. Sort it out. Have some ****ing intelligence about the situation.

L2 is unforgiving and difficult and there's no way we should be 'walking' the league.

For me, Maynard is doing well. He's stepped up to this level and he can clearly cope.
So why don't you all just get behind him and the lads and stop with your crying.
The division is starting to play out as many of us anticipated at the start of the season with 14 teams in with a realistic chance of getting promoted coming up to the halfway stage. Walsall are pulling away at the top and next week at home it will be a perfect opportunity to stop them and close the gap. First though another team up next in Cheltenham who we need to get something from to keep them out of the playoffs and at arms length.

Dropping out of the playoffs may have been a bit of wake up call and we have had to fight to get back in them and stay in there by beating Bradford and MK Dons.

We are now only two points behind automatic promotion places with a game in hand so are right in the mix. That’s a decent place to be in and it’s something we need to maintain.

As for SM I’ve not doubted once throughout his tenure the players are not on board. All teams have a bad run or a blip. We have had injuries to key players in the first half of the season. Crowley is back and that’s lifted the team, Abbotts getting on the scoresheet now, JJ will be returning soon hopefully. Our defence has gone back to being solid. There is an opportunity to in January to bring players in, so lots to be positive about for the second half of the season. On paper we should be stronger in the second half of the season than the first half. Plus those who joined in the summer will have now had six months to settle in.

Keep the faith.
