We’re not top because we deserve to be. We’re top because of blind luck and the general poor quality of the league. Anyone who disagrees needs to have a word with themselves. We have to be playing better than this with our squad. If we go up, we go straight back down, like this.

Totally agree and let's be honest we wouldn't be top we would be 12 to 15 points worse off without trott if we go off games we have got a win or a draw from but should of lost but like you said luck although luck runs it's course over the season . We've got to improve our playing style or things will change quickly on the table without a doubt :bluescarf:

Some of us are conceded Ian about the way we are playing from the last five to half a dozen league games I really can't see how others can not see it but just spout "it's ok we are top of the league" due to our goalkeeper I shout add so nothing else matters it seems yet some of them games we could of had hidings in truth, then your just called negative and not a fan for saying such things. It's madness :roll: :shock:. As the op said luck has been on our side but that runs out over the season or we would be well worse off now although we are still top due to it. He needs to change the system shape rather than playing games with the same thing irrelevant of score line although he changed it Vs Orient so it worked then for our come back rather than like for like which is what we have seen to date more than anything :bluescarf:

I'd like to say only this club would complain about being top of the league, but in fact, it's todays society.

A bunch of moany, soft, entitled lot who would moan their way out of a lottery win.

We lost an away game :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

We should be playing better :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

Play 4-4-2 :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

BBM is a Tinkerman :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

:laughing6:

It's likely Wrexham will pump us tomorrow - I cannot wait for the tantrums then :sad2: :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

If we're top because of the general poor quality of this league then we deserve to be top.

Table doesn't lie.

Saturday was poor but that has definitely been an extreme reaction to losing to a team who are expected to be up there and are very good at home.

Don't know why some are so unhappy when they said we'd be in a relegation scrap again when BBM was appointed.

I don't know whether its luck, a great goalkeeper who has turned possible defeats into wins (Orient,Reading) an ability to squeeze a result out at the last moment ( Wimbledon, Stockport) or being able to turn it around when we go a goal down ( Peterboro, Reading, Orient). But I seen every game this season and I am scratching me head to understand how we are top. I am grateful for that but I cant see us staying there unless we start playing with a bit more energy

I personally think we are top because we deserve to be.

We might of dropped slightly recently, but don't forget how strong we were in defence early on and the run we went on.

Lets enjoy being top, and hope results and performances pick up again.

We will not be top when we come to play our next league game and that is a fact.

Probably not, because teams just below us are playing this week, and will have played a game more than us.

Not sure what this has to do with us being top because we deserve to be.

Baffling how negative we are for top of the league. Look at Chelsea, man City, Liverpool, man utd etc spent hundreds of millions to lose to more matches than Sunderland Bournemouth etc.
I know you don't care about those clubs but that's the reality of football and surprise results or in form teams can springboard. Which is why we are top because of a great start and now a slippery patch we need to stabilise a bit from

What a cracking statement we wouldn’t be top of one of our players wasn’t our player. But he is so we top as he’s part of the team.
And if he didn’t sign for us how could you possibly know we still wouldn’t be top.
Mind you when the facts don’t back up you statements you need to grasp to some pie in the sky theory. Maybe we start dropping down the league soon, and then you be happy.

I've noticed that people say they don't care about other clubs (like Luton and Plymouth) when they're doing worse than us but they do care when teams are doing better than us.

I can guarantee if we were where Plymouth are and they are where we are - it'd be "look at Plymouth compared to us."

To be fair to BBM he admits we have a very good quad:

v Wrexham Tonight



BBM:

"This is a tie where the whole Club is really excited.”

“We believe our squad is very capable of competing at this level. Now we get the chance to go on tonight and show that.”

You talk some absolute nonsense it's not a statement they are facts he's saved us games galore have you not seen the games. Most of us watch games every week that's what's going on and went on to date. We need to improve and your making it out to be something else when we have rode out luck most know this bar very few who go every week. We need to improve performance wise to stay up there but I expect you to turn this in to something totally different like you do to every post :roll:

We are not and I feel we will go further down just my opinion.

The last 6 weeks we have been awful, But thanks to the very weak opposition and the league having so many small clubs in it we have kept up their but I see it getting hard for us when it should not as we do have prob the best squad for this league.

You mean like you doing ??
I agree he’s excellent and has got us a fair few points.
What I’m saying is if we didn’t sign trott you can’t possibly know we wouldn’t have sign someone else who would put in the same performances do you?

I not sure I’ve explained what I mean well, do you see what I’m getting at?
You can’t definitely know we wouldn’t be in same position with a different keeper.

Yeh thats a fair one, It does worry me a bit that when we play the better sides we struggle, if we can play like we did in first half last night we will be pretty safe, nice to shots being taken lets hope same happens Saturday against a very poor Peterborough. I hope last night was not just a one off and maybe we have found our formation abd style. :bluebird:
