the knocks make it even less likely, sure.

But even at full-strength, this team under this manager are pretty much incapable of winning an away match.

I get a bit sick of reading of seeing NCFC fans assume we'll win at places like Southend, to be honest. As I say, it's even the ones (eg Wimbledon Canary below) who think our manager is rubbish and should be sacked.

I just think there's a bit of reality to be faced and a bit of arrogance to be got rid of. We're not particularly good, we were a mile off promotion last year and we will be again this year.

I'm going on Tuesday and I'll be pleased just to see a decent performance, even if it's in a losing cause. Absolutely to reason to *expect* us to win - that's a Wolves-like attitude with no justification.

A decent performance would be good. A point would be very good. A win would be a big fat lovely surprise.
