FROM VINCE ALM: EVERY BLUEBIRD SHOULD READ!

Wed Mar 11, 2026 11:27 am

Another point towards the 90 point goal. Hard fought point in the end after a promising start, if supporters think the run in will be a walk in the park think again, every team fighting for points in the division at the moment its a point away from home take it.

10 games left to go 5 home 5 away 9pts clear of third. Based on our season form so far 2pts a game 90 is well within our grasp.

The run in is not for the faint hearted, the team will need our support to get across the line, with many twists and turns to come, now is not the time to get on players backs or disagree with each other we need to be united, we have a lot of young players in their first full season they will be inconsistent at times but getting on their backs will not make them play any better. Negative support breeds tension, nerves, mistakes, panic, over caution. Positive support breeds calmness, energy, positive decision making, effort, decisive action and success.

You all got it in you now is the time to show it and support the squad, they have given us a fantastic season to date with scintillating football, let's give them the support they have earned during this last bit of the run in.

I’m sure most will agree, this is one of the best messages (not from this Forum) I’ve read for a long time! :clap: :bluebird:

Thanks, Vince! I think we needed that right now! :ayatollah:

Good post Vince, 15 points from the 30 available will be enough. :thumbup:

Couldn't agree more

Many blaming Rubin and Tanner the first chance they get

The fact is they are trying their best and sometimes things just don't come off

But I'm a huge fan of both players and we need them for these final 10 games

I thought we should have tried to sign tolaj in January but we didn't so it is what it is but lets not slam the coach and the players for what Tan didn't do in January

A lot of these players are our youth players and look where they have got us this season
so we should take that into account if we have a bad day

There's nothing wrong with having a negative view of how we played in games that we have dropped points in but some of the comments I see about Tanner and especially Rubin are so crazy you would think it was a jack who made them

We really need the fans to turn up in numbers for the rest of the home games and get the atmosphere going it's been really flat at home

Away from home it's been top notch all season and we've sold out 90% of the time we really need everyone on board for one last big push

Re: FROM VINCE ALM: EVERY BLUEBIRD SHOULD READ!

Well said Vince , after last seasons diabolical mess and the cost cutting going into this season , I thought we would struggle. But we are in with a chance of going straight back up , get behind the boys :ayatollah: :bluescarf:

And we can't keep going quiet if we concede the first goal either

It went so flat on Saturday when Lincoln scored

We need to keep the place rocking and treat these games as 10 cup finals (although I think we will not need all 10 to go up)

The funny story is NO ONE HAS SAID DONT SUPPORT OUR TEAM OR CLUB???

Just Fans unhappy with recent performances but of course we are not allowed to discuss matches etc unless we say

I was there saturday and was completely peeded off with our effort at home to lincoln we caved in but I was there waving my flag,

,I watched the game last night on tv we were bossing the game up until they scored and again we caved in lost control and lost the upper hand and our shape,
and if
mc goldrick was more on it, we would have lost,
twice he fluffed clear missis but was wide open ,

But it's a load of b.llox if you critise when we play badly we are not behind the lads,
I, ll be there travelling twice next week to cardiff for wycombe and Blackpool will the people calling the likes of me out for been honest of how i feel about a game, and been critical and then suggesting i am not behind the team ,
i will be there next week i will cheering on the team.

Monty,


Be true to yourself like you always are.

Honesty is the best way and done of these must be watching another team as 100% We have not been playing well and I am worried.

But I still believe in BBM, just feel we needed more players and we look tired at the moment.

Re: FROM VINCE ALM: EVERY BLUEBIRD SHOULD READ!

Wed Mar 11, 2026 8:12 pm

Your worried like me, others who say we are fine that might be true, but it does not stop us worrying about our dip in form, it tells me we feel it more,
i want out of this division and I enjoying and am buzzing for every game but can also feel deflated when we loose naturally ,
but I fear if we don' t make the championship promotion we will see the fan base drift off it's been a novelty this season new aways etc and teams,
but I don' t think we will take 2,500 to port vale next season if we stay in this division.

Re: FROM VINCE ALM: EVERY BLUEBIRD SHOULD READ!

Wed Mar 11, 2026 8:19 pm

:lol: I dont think anyone is saying we've played well. Just fans are trying to rally behind the team. We've got 10 games left we're having a little wobble they could do with our support. We all want promotion, we all need to pull together imo. :ayatollah:

Correct Monty,

We are having a big dip in form, but apparently we are wrong and we are still playing well and getting good results.

As fans we are entitled to be worried and should be allowed to say our concerns

Who said not to rally around the team?

I have felt the atmosphere at the CCS Stadium has been shite and have been calling in fans to get behind the team more.

But we are entitled to discuss where it has gone wrong lately are we not ???

Saturday I said on here that the atmosphere was shit. And the fans were just as poor as any players were

I think you're getting the wrong end of the stick.

Who's said you're not rallying behind the players, im just simply saying just because the likes of vince are encouraging fans to get bdhind the team doesnt mean theyre talking bull or lying that we've been playing well. He's just trying encourage a positive mindset.

Re: FROM VINCE ALM: EVERY BLUEBIRD SHOULD READ!

Wed Mar 11, 2026 9:27 pm

Vince is entitled to his opinion

We are making it very difficult for ourselves, constantly changing the back 4 - you build your team around the back 4 and you need a settled team

We need to move the ball a lot quicker, we are so slow in buildups

Re: FROM VINCE ALM: EVERY BLUEBIRD SHOULD READ!

Thu Mar 12, 2026 2:53 pm

Worrying gets you nowhere but down.

Sure we haven't played well these last couple of games, and Bolton squeezed a win in injury time from a loss.

We were squeaky bum for the last 8/10 games first time we went up to the Premier league - ended up way ahead of third, clinching promotion in a mighty 0-0 draw at home on a Tuesday night (sadly in effing red, but still).

We may indeed not make automatic promotion, which would be a terrible shame - but try not to focus on what might not be, and chill the f*** out boys.
