Important to capitalize on our games in hand.

We have 3 games in hand on all of the bottom 4 clubs so I think the target should be a minimum of 6 points from the 3 games.

If our games in hand were home games I might agree with you, but we’ve played 13 home matches & 9 away, so those games in hand are all away matches.

[Reading Rebel]

Our 3 games in hand are midweek in January against Bath, Taunton and Yeovil.

The 6 points I was hoping for from these 3 games does look just a tad optimistic.

Realistically a point at Bath and 3 points at Taunton would be an excellent outcome for us, I don't think even the most optimistic supporter would expect us to come away with anything from Yeovil. 

We then have a midweek game at Worthing, Hampton tomorrow and then Weymouth and Dover away. 

Worthing will be very difficult to get anything from but we should be looking to pick up a decent number of points in the other 3 games.

Taunton v Yeovil OFF

First time Taunton had a complete sell out!  Flood warnings out and local flooding all over South Somerset

Which of course will only add to the financial problems they've had at Taunton.

Why not? Over the past 3 months the squad has shown what it is capable of, and not even the mighty Yeovil are invincible.

We mustn't fall into the trap of thinking that any game is unwinnable, or worse still that we're bound to lose.

Cummon Nathan a Tuesday night in Yeovil against team that are champions elect, you really don't think we're going to get anything do you?

It's very hard to tell on here sometimes (particularly in the absence of any emojis), so please tell me this comment is in jest! 🤣 If not, then I hope that Scotty & the team don't take this attitude, or there'll be very little point in them turning up for the match!

I don't think anybody doubts that Yeovil will be the favourites, but there is no reason we should go into any league fixture thinking "we've got no chance", home or away, Tuesday night or no Tuesday night, champions-elect or no champions-elect.

[Irishadrian]

For a long time Havant and Waterloovilles only league win  this season was when they put 4 past Yeovil in September

Yes we know what is likely to happen but the final whistle is when we will know!

Only jesting Nathan 

Seriously though, most supporters will be expecting the worst so if we do upset the considerable odds against us and get something from the game it'll feel like winning the lottery 😅
