Bolton on 60, 7 points off playoffs.

Post by Reflecto »

It's the faint hope that gets you...would love to see a couple of wins to give us a small chance. Anyway the last 10 matches are pressure free and a chance to experiment and play without fear!

We know we can play some much better than the last 5. Just need some good fortune...and re-find our elusive form

It's possible but being realistic it's highly unlikely.

however unlikely it is, we might as well believe and give it a go. If we give up now it goes from unlikely to impossible

Play offs went when we lost to both Bolton and Charlton. They were massive games .

Blackpool on a good run, 1 defeat in 15 (although a lot of draws). Win there on Sat and we might have reason to believe again. A 6th loss on the spin would surely leave things too late to turnaround.

It’s still in our hands. 25 points is possible. 78 points gets a playoff berth. Blackpool could well be our hardest fixture. Good place to start then!!

It’s not in our hands , as we are not in top 6. If we were , then yes it would be . We are chasing the pack ,so even if we win every match and those above do as well we can’t make it. So it’s in the results of others , plus ours

You're forgetting who our manager is . Richie will make sure that mentality doesn't set in . Looking at the league table I have a feeling Charlton could grab second place and go up automatically.

If the tide’s out it might be a better option.

We're simply not good enough, certainly not with players we have available at present.

Beckles getting a major injury really f**ked us. With Happe out for weeks, as he was last season, and the season before, we are really weakened at the back.

We have no chance, I repeat no chance of the play offs, & if we could manage a top 10 finish, that would be a major achievement for us.

Maybe if we get major investment, then we'll be able to buy our way out of the division, which seems to be the way you do it nowdays.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ollie O Neil back soon, & maybe Dan H.

Play -offs not impossible but no longer in our hands. Got to that point where teams above us have to lose form and we have to win at least 8 of our last 10. Not impossible but I'm not hopeful.
