After 3 games

Quoted from grimps

Comparing Buckleys win ratio it forgets to mention that he was 4 division higher  

And the last spell

Looking back historically is all well and good , it's 2014  . Nostalgia could be more harmful , looking and knowing what we had . Just wondering , being 60+  does it hurt me more than say someone who's 25/30 who hasn't seen or known the good times ?

At least we have those memories Doc, these youngsters dont.
I remember when I was young in the 60s and 70s older friends and relatives going on about their heroes and Town in then div 2 (now championship). These were back in the dark days of Bobby Kennedy, before Lawrie.   Thank God for John Newman, George Kerr and Alan Buckley eh

First three games of 71/72 we scored 4 in each, won all three 2 in league and one in League cup and won the league!!!

These are the memories that can never be taken away from you or me . My cousin removing his white bed sheet and  painting "Champions of division 4" during the short Lawrie era . Getting the biggest clout from his mum .

Our first trip to Wembley , never believing I would ever see town grace the hallowed turf  . My friend saying , " Now I can die a happy man to have seen us there and win "

The years in the championship beating teams with beautiful football  . Nearly in tears now just thinking about it . I just hope we can get out of this pit of dispair before I get called up to the big main stand in the sky .

Was wondering what my first match was with my dad . The first I really remember was mid 60's against Hull and Ken Wagstaff was playing . Odd these memories .

That's the season I started watching town. The highlight to me was watching us beat Hull at BP 1-0 and the draw with West Ham.

Quoted from GrimRob

We had 4 points from 3 games last season and got to the play-offs
We had 2 points from 3 games the season before and got to the play-offs

The number of points after 3 games in the previous 8 years were: 1,4,0,4,3,3,4,4

Some of those seasons we did reasonably well and ended in the top half, some of them we either got relegated or nearly got relegated.

The point is that the points total after 3 games has not provided a very accurate guideline as to how the season would go. The only general trend seems to be that we always start quite poorly, whoever the manager is.

Hope your right Rob.Iam an optimist so feel we will make the play offs and hopefully more come May

Proves nothing Rob. As someone else pointed out, seasons we went up (bar 97- we had more points from early games.

The last 10 seasons ALL ended in failure IN LOW DIVISIONS.

5: stuck in tier 4 (last one by the skin of or teeth cos Luton got docked 30 points)
1: relegated from tier 4
4: stuck in tier 5

The point is we have dropped 4 points from games against poor opposition,games that any promotion contenders would be expected to win,those four points may prove to be very costly at the end of the season,and could be the the difference between automatic promotion and a play off place.
