Many are labeling Stevenage a must win game and if we're to get that 2nd place it really is. Looking at the games in hand we're probably 4th and probably 3 points behind the Blunts and 1 off Udders. Lose tonight and we're giving ourselves very little chance.
So is anyone feeling confident about tonight? I'm worried. We haven't played well since Ben Marshall left and we're in that awful position of relying on JJ for goals and attacking flair. He's done well but he's never far off that dreadful, complacent, CBA performance that makes you want to stab yourself with frustration.

After the shambles at Exeter, this has to be a win. GM has quite rightly expressed his anger and unhappiness at the lack of effort and poor attitude we saw at Exeter. We all expect a huge response. In the top 7 we have the poorest form, the most defeats, the worst goal difference and having played either one, two or three games more than the others. Nothing less than 3 points will do tonight, and if we have enough spirit, effort and passion we will do it, if we can't then we haven't the character or strength to secure 2nd spot. I hope Hudders beat the Blunts, as they are the form team, and I hope MK Dons grab a point at Charlton.

Stevenage are top of the form table so tonight is going to be very tough, on the other hand if we win it it will be a teriffic confidence booster.
Looking at the table we conceed far too many goals, including 3 from free kicks in recent games, with his reputation for organisation Meggo needs to get that sorted!
Still plenty of points to play for so lets be optimistic and assume that we can improve our form back to where it was.

Tonight is the night for Madine to get his scoring boots on & for us to stop relying on JJ solo runs & get some decent balls in the box. Also i know we are a physical team but 15 fouls at Exeter is a joke!

JJ was the only one creating tonight. He is a confidence player - just hope these last performances by the rest of the team don't affect him - or we are stuffed

Lets be honest, second spot is Shef Utds now, the rest of us will be fighting it out for the play offs and personally Im scared of Stevenage as I reckon they will be tough to beat

We were all over them, just couldn't put the ball in the net. 15 game winning run and we're laughing
