8th - 14th is a very good shout.

Robinson's Barley Kool-Aid is a powerful brew but not everyone will drink every drop.

Being realistic based on 5 years of being relegation fodder every year, if we're not in the relegation battle at all this season it's an improvement. Don't think targets as such just sign of improving.

The fans all complain that budget is used as an excuse then we get a manager who says ok I think we can compete with anyone in this league it's unrealistic!

As of a few minutes ago, 167 seats available for Burton. The hoolie block and, I guess, some combination of released debentures and ST'S.

He's got a massive job changing the mentality throughout the club!

Depends if you think that a target finish is supposed to be an aspiration or something realistic. It's nice to aspire to a top 3 finish and maybe that's what you do for motivation purposes, but it's totally unrealistic in reality and just setting ourselves up for failure.

Ball ache of a game tomorrow night. Not exactly a free hit but something from that game would be a real boost.

Yes 14/15th is realistic, but get in a run like last season when we had been found out .looks like a tough 6 weeks coming,although we have over achieved so far in my eyes as was expecting 5 points from the first 10 games and not many goals.so been delighted so far.

They might be dreaming high I’m just keeping it real 😎

Spit - most sensible fans will accept ups and downs in performance and results because we have a young team. We don't need to change our aspirations just to keep the knee jerk brigade under control.

Of course 3 defeats with 1 goal is no slump🤣

I'd much prefer the squad keep their targets where they are, Robbo said last night they feel they could be top 3 - I agree with them. Settling for midtable or being delighted to stay up (hi Shergy) is what we're trying to get away from.

Lurker agree with that but those solutions have always been there...

Happy birthday to Marcus Gayle.

It's good that Robbo feels comfortable enough to go on the 9years podcast and keeps fans informed. I like his honesty and the fact that he is so calm, thinks before he speaks, never looks like being rattled and stays on the level with regards to not over or under hyping anyone /anything.

Train, if we pick up over 7 points over that period I’d be pretty happy.

Lurker - maybe Sir Dickie Guy could have a word with Tzanev. I remember seeing Dickie purposely running into opposition forwards who were obstructing him and falling over (while keeping a tight grip on the ball) and winning freekicks back in the 70s.

I think this is the best / most cultured team (relative to the level we are playing at) I have ever seen playing in Wimbledon shirts. The only two things we are missing really is, a more prolific centre forward to take some of the many chances we are making that others aren't converting, and a stronger /better left sided defender.

Interesting on MR interview talking about how Plymouth deliberately bumped and blocked Tzanev to stop the quick distribution. That's probably somewhere we need to be a bit cuter about playing the ref and getting them made to cut it out. I know people will say Marquis was unfairly sent off v Ramsdale but they'd been doing it all game and AR had the sense to dramatise it to get it dealt with.

Ah, yes. D'oh etc. Back to writing my script about a gynecologist surgery - Carry On Flapping.

Sorry - should read 'top tiers had slightly less people than LOWER tiers'

STTA - l looked at October's fixtures a couple of weeks back and thought what a tough month that looks like being,now made a little tougher with Palmer out for a few weeks. If we can keep the rest fit we should be OK.

As soon as some fans stop thinking we are Barcelona, and more a slightly better version of last seasons Rochdale team.score a few ,let in a few,dry up a bit,still let goals in team,with a bit of entertainment here and there the better all round 🤣

KD - my calculation is for the whole stadium - not just our section. Even if top tiers had slightly less people than top tiers, I ignored premium & corporate tickets which would boost average ticket price. We will receive 45% ot the total net gate receipts.
