Luton 0 points.

Macc 3 points (Although will be tough as Alexander has got them scraping some great results with his team of Lincoln rejects!)

Bradford 1 point

Lincoln 3 points

So 7 from me too but i would take 6. Lets hope a good festive period could spring us into action in 2009, the same can't be said after an excellent christmas last year!

People really have been drinking far too much......one win does not make a summer (I've adapted the saying to suit my needs). Two things we have lacked all season are the ability to push teams on their on pacth, and general consistency. I'll be happy to build upon the positive home form that we are currently displying. 4 points would satisfy.

I'd like to think that if we are all positive we can get many points so remain positive and cheers on the lads even when we are losing!!!

We can help in so many ways at the games let's be 100% behind the team and act as the 12th player!!!!

I hope we really go for it at Luton next weekend, and dont play for a draw. If we lose it will not be the end of the world, but a win will put another nail in their coffin and really boost our confidence over christmas

Luton=3pts
Macclesfield=3pts
Bradford=1pt
Lincoln=1pt

8 points, but I am sure 6+ would not be a bad return.

depends which Morecambe turns up

if its the lot that played Notts County then 2 pts if lucky
if its the team that played the 2nd half v Darlo then at least 10 pts

I think everyones in cloud cookoo land! too much sherry at the christmas parties has made you all delirious :? whilst 6 or 7 points from 4 games would be a very nice christmas present, I'll be a little more realistic and say we'll get 4 maximum.

I'd love to be proved wrong though, over to you Sammy :D

I will be happy with 6 points over christmas,any more will be a bonus,and keep bournmouth at arms length.i think we will be safe this season and next season will be a hard one with everyone starting on 0 points. we need to be in league football for the opening of the new stadium or it will be a disaster for the club. i would love to know how mutch of a loss the club is running at the moment. the small crowds we are getting at the moment will hardly be paying the wage bill for the players.

I'm with the 4-pointers from those.

Lincoln have had a few good results, as have Macc lately. Any game away is hard for us this season and we know how strong Bradford are.

But we know Morecambe well enough to expect at least one big surprise (one way or the other!). They could do a lot better than we expect - as they did last season on tricky pitches.


Include the Darlo game and I'd still have been reasonably satisfied with four points - and we've already got three.

I'll go for:

Luton - 1
Macc - 0
Bradford - 0
Lincoln - 3

(but wouldn't be too surprised if we won at home to Macc or away at Luton and lost against Lincoln).

If we get a win on Saturday 'giant's' the man. If we lose I'll have been 'sort of' right.

On page 9 7th Dec 08 General Index under thread "What do you think...." I predicted 8 points from the Christmas schedule v. Darlington, Luton, Macclesfield,Bradford and Lincoln. I need a draw against Lincoln for the target, so let's hope i'm totally wrong and we end up with 10 pts from these games :)
