A lot of negativity around after yesterday (from me included a bit last night), about pretty much everything to do with the club.

So, what can we be positive about ahead of another huge game Tuesday?

For me:
- for now it's still in our hands
- we've shown how we can play, with the same set of players we have now. Hopefully we can recapture that form.
- if we can't, we're surely due a flukey win sometime soon - I only remember one this season (Everton home)
- our defence isn't as shaky as some make out; we've conceded the fewest amount of goals in the bottom half and equal to some pretty much in the top half.
- our attack isn't as bad as some make out; plenty of teams on the same or fewer goals
- the atmosphere at the Amex could be better, but it's no worse than 95% of other grounds in this country and still better than many. Our away fans are still excellent most of the time, too.
- lots of youth doing very well either with us or on loan

Anything else?

That's a great start and a reminder of how much we have to be positive about.

Properly inclusive attitude from club and fans

Even if the worse happens, we are a relatively big club now, and would be among the favourites to win promotion next season.
The Championship is an entertaining league in its own right.

What is the point of being negative it achieves nothing and makes one grumpy.

If you think this is bad you should have been at Hereford at 3.45pm.

I'm positive about our future and finally a couple of extra positives my two post match pints of Harvey's were excellent and I walked straight onto the waiting Lewes train without any queues.

I’ll still love going in the Championship, should that happen. Imagine going into home matches, with a good manager and team, knowing you may well score goals (plural) and win. One of the happiest feelings in the world is leaving the Amex on a Friday or Saturday after any kind of win.

If we stay up, I’ll be excited about Ashworth and Potter finally making the squad changes we all know are necessary.

Either way, always something to look forward to.

I don't want to be relegated but if we were I'd feel the same. Games come thick and fast in the Championship too, which I do miss being in the Prem - esp the amount of evening games.

There’s POSITIVELY no atmosphere at the Amex whatsoever. You’d find more noise at Bishopstone Public Lending Library at 3pm on a Saturday...and that placed closed its doors to the public in 1973 for fark’s ache!! (Very last book to be borrowed was ‘Creating an Atmosphere’ by Arthur J Crump junior)

Controversial comment coming, I wonder if it would shake out some of the s/t holders who hog seats but rarely turn up, and tourists at the Amex for iphone filming?
