We just need to focus on ourselves and not worry about what people think about us. We simply need to beat what is put in front of us, like we have done for most of this season so far.

By the time these people realise what we really are, it will be too late and we will have won promotion against all the odds.

I know not a lot of people like xG, but the fact Bolton's was 0.17 means that there was nothing unlucky about them failing to score. It means they parked two double decker buses and an aircraft carrier.

For all the jokes about losing everyone, I think that is a disadvantage over bigger clubs in our division - in other words, if we don't go up, there will definitely be clubs in for some of our talent, whereas if we were a bigger club, we have a better chance of them staying. So even though it's not like completely reinventing the wheel every season, it creates a competitive disadvantage every summer. Even just losing Kone and Low in the summer would make next season feel very different.

In summary: let's go up now and not talk about "not being ready"!

This is exactly it. Nothing wrong in thinking GA will keep them up, but equally it is not disrespecting his ancestors to think turning around a mess might be difficult.

Also, thinking he won't keep them up is different to not wanting him to keep them up. I want him to keep them up, I just don't think he will. I'd be delighted to be wrong!

Some fans have been fair to us - Stockport is an unsurprising one, but Lincoln fans seemed to be pretty fair overall too, despite that scoreline being close. Most other supporters have played the 'Wycombe were awful, we made them look better than they are' card though.

Nearly all of our wins this season have been followed by 'Wycombe aren't all that...they won't be troubling the top of the table...' from fans. And remember the referee gives us everything and them nothing. 😉

Exactly. The lack of self awareness is actually astounding.

But then Evatt is giving it some now about how it's a "different kind of pressure" at Wycombe versus Bolton.

As if we're just some little hick outfit down the Rye and they're a world famous giant.

If Bloomy can get Morley done, he should get a little quip in saying "too right, we have top of the league pressure here, whereas they merely have trying to scrape into the playoffs pressure".

Though that obviously wouldn't be wise, we know that - and football has a tendency to give the ultimate pride before a fall scenarios.

Anywhere that people have to drive to will always disappoint that implacable group of people who still think there should be swift access and exit for their ever expanding car, as well as free parking.

Ideally you want something most people can walk, cycle, scooter or bus to from the town centre, with car options for those who really need to drive. But where is that space?

Don’t know how they play it at Brighton? That’s right on the edge of town. Wonder how getting in and out of there works on a matchday?

If we can't agree that there is a "different kind of pressure" being at a small and over-achieving club such as ours and at a club that gets 22,000 attendees in League 1 and has massive expectations, then I fear it may be us that's being a bit one-eyed.

Reminds me of leaving Oxford's ground a few years ago, a bloke was ranting and me and a mate about our perceived "style" that day.

Even though they'd had more bookings and more fouls.
