Traffic Lights Classification and form

Since the 3-1 win at home against Carlisle in the Cup, in the league we've played 3 of the better teams in the division and drawn against 2 of those.

The only downer for me was losing to Lincoln At home. Derby have been high flying so no one really expected us to get anything out of that.

I think we should (from now on) only judge how good or lacking we are after we've played a few of the teams around or below us.

If Lincoln hadn't been abandoned and Port Vale hadn't been postponed we might now of been in the top half and looking up.

Sometimes it's just the way the fixtures roll.

I disagree because it breeds a phycological defeat before we play any team above and we have proven to date we can beat teams above and top of the table.

But at the time of playing them both the opposition teams were performing better than everyone else thus lofc results were very good

      I wont be, that's just one match, plus Cheltenham are on the up after a few games since Darrell Clarke took over at the end of September.

      From 29th Dec to 17th Feb we should know where we are. In that period there's 7 out of 10 games against not so high flying opponents.  

      A lot of fans on both boards seem to think that we're on a downward slope, it defo looks that way but we've had some tough fixtures of late and 2 out of 3 of those lost were against high flying Oxford and Derby.

      Wigan and Bristol Rovers were both good draws imo. I think getting knocked out of the cup set the negatives rolling.

      I also think that we got so used to winning games last season that losing and drawing a few matches now, for some, seems like we're on a one way ticket back to L2.
