At least we can't be overtaken by any team today.

Small mercies and all that.

Dead right Baz, but there's no doubt that this fixture backlog isn't helping our challenge at all.

We've been lucky.

Our league position belies the facts. We haven't won in nearly a month.

The Board and Moore should take a good hard look at themselves...

Unfortunately Blackpool can get another 3 points ahead of us and right now looks like they will!

We need our injured forwards back they may help with goal scoring. The beginning of January is when the CEO and Chairman should be getting players over the line. I would hope we know what we want now and preliminary negotiations should be taking place.

It's not two IDM, it's three. We'll still have to play Bolton away.

Of course, I desperately hope I'm wrong, but I doubt I will be.

I’m not counting that one until a decision is finally made.

If these two or three games take place after the New Year we should be stronger ourselves.
It might be doing us a favour.

If we beat AFC Wimbledon then the Portsmouth game also gets canned I think. It is not ridiculous to think we could have five games in hand on many clubs above us come Christmas.

Taking everything into account, too many games in hand puts us at a real disadvantage and will be a strain to make them all up. Plus knowing the good old British weather, there could be more postponements yet.

I'm sure we all hope, as said, to have all players back sooner rather than later and we can get on a run and get confidence high.

If they are all going to be played after Christmas then barring any new injuries you would expect all our currently injured players to be back - potentially even Sterling and his dead / dropped-off leg.

Given the silence (its deafening) I am inclined to agree with you. I have no faith that "they" will do the right thing

I’m sorry but I don’t get the argument that no decision means it’s going to be the wrong decision.

To me it means nothing.  Makes no difference to the potential outcome..

By the same argument, other teams will rack up postponements for weather, cup ties etc.

For once and all can we put this to bed, there is literally months and months and months of free Tuesday nights before the end of the  season...    there is zero strain to fit these games in,  have a look at the calendar, theres a surprising lack of Tuesday/Wednesday night games...

I realise we can't do anything about the Bolton game for now, but I'm surprised the Tranmere and Shrewsbury games haven't been rearranged. The only thing I can think is that everyone's waiting on the outcome of the FA Cup replays this week. If we go out, and so do either Shrewsbury or Tranmere, there's a ready-made game for 30th November.

We have the Leasing.com cup to fit into to Tuesday nights as well.

Actually I've got a remedy for that Al. I just sit on the pan and look at a reflection of my face in a hand mirror. That's enough to scare anyone into a bowel evacuation.
