MGM - depends what side of the fence you sit on.
Go back through the thread, you are about the 9th person to raise the issue with "form tables" and of those people, the majority then point out we are playing an in-form Bristol Rovers and should be worried, without a hint of irony.
At what point of the season did we select/stumble upon the current line up, between Christmas and New Year, Sawyer returned, KL in goal (Macey has done well the last few games), went with Eddy/Canavan. From that point we have been very good. Faultless, no, but our 2019 record of played 13, won 7, drawn 3, lost 3 compares very favourably with the vast majority in the division.
We have improved immeasurably from the shambolic early season performances, no one has looked like thrashing us, even the games we have lost Wycombe, Sunderland Fleetwood, we were in the game for large periods, certainly at Sunderland it could be argued a stronger referee would have rightly awarded us a penalty during a spell where we were well on top.
We aren't perfect, far from it, but we shouldn't be a nervous quivering wreck for the remainder of the season, the four teams that have to come to us must all think - crikey look at their home record since Xmas, i'll take a point.
I take your point about away goals, but i think DA had to make a decision when we were bottom as to the best way out of the predicament and his way was to play a very rigid (and was perhaps dull) system. In an ideal world he'd probably love to have Aiden McGeady on the books and play with width and gay abandon, but from where we were, that isn't or wasn't a realistic outlook to take.
