1. Head says 4, Heart says 6

2. Lucky to stay in 6th....

 

[Boz]

1. No idea; who would have reckoned on us only taking 4 points from a supposedly 'easy' February? On current form, it's hard to see us winning more than 3.

2. I'd agree we'd be lucky to stay 6th atm

The average points tally normally required for the play-offs is 75. However, because the top sides are so tightly bunched this year, it is likely to be higher, maybe around 80. If that is the case, the minimum number of wins required would be 5 and not losing any.

There are potentially 4 6-pointers amongst our fixtures; the homes against Sheffield and Bournemouth and trips to Walsall and Donny. We cannot afford to lose any of them.

 

[merseysidebossman]

I see 4-5 wins and 2 draws

14 points


Total of 74 points, and last place in the playoffs ??

 

[bigmart]

Think we will get 12 points and end up 9th

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

There is some ridiculous negativity on here at the moment. Why take the last ten games as the inevitable benchmark for the next ten ? That is not how form works. Nothing is inevitable, even when the personnel remains unchanged. If it was, any divvy down the betting shop would be a millionaire.

Look at Bournemouth. One defeat in twenty. Then they sign three players for £1.5 million, are tipped by everyone to walk away with the league, and lose four in a row. Football is about momentum and confidence, and confidence can return as quickly as it is lost.

In January we had a side of the same strength as the current one, if not weaker, and won 5 out of 6 in the league. Anything approaching that form in the run-in and we will make the play-offs.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Brentford and Doncaster both lost tonight and were both appalling judging by the match stats.

More reasons to be cheerful.

haha

 

[DIW]

My predictions would be

HOME
Oldham - WIN
Stevenage - DRAW
Sheff Utd - LOSE
HArtlepool - WIN
Cherries - WIN

AWAY
Warsaw - DRAW
MK Fakes - LOSE
Pomey - WIN
Donny - LOSE
Preston - DRAW

15 more points - it will be close. However other teams arte also dropping points. If we can get a win this Saturday...

 

[bigmart]

haha

Lets wait till the seasons end or we get past that total of points before you try to be so funny

 

[SonkORLY?]

you can revel in your moment of glory when we finish 9th

 

[bigmart]

you can revel in your moment of glory when we finish 9th

nobody would revel in anything im just giving my opinion your giving yours thats it.

 

[Higgy]

Hope for much better if we can get on a run, but fear the form has been lost together with the will to win.

1. 10 points

2. Outside top six

It has still been a good season and the gamble of having a strong first 11/13 worked well - but struggling now.

Well Doncaster and Brentford lost last night. Bournemouth play Doncaster on Saturday. Swindon play Walsall, a club in good form. Brentford are at Carlisle so not a definite win for them IMO. Sheffield host Dons who shafted Doncaster last night, so who knows. Let us see what it looks like after Saturday. Things may look more positive.

We shouldn't fear any of these fixtures, certainly there are three home games which we have a good chance of winning, Oldham, Stevenage and Hartlepool, added to this a couple of away fixtures where we might fancy ourselves (Walsall, Portsmouth). That would do it. I'd like to see us going win-lose rather than draw-draw in the last 10 games.

Any one of the top 9 will still fancy their chances. Often it makes more sense to have a late charge - maybe we should lose our next 5, then win the final 5, sneaking in on the last day - quite a few teams have come from nowhere to get promoted via the play-offs. The momentum would be with us.

My gut feeling is we'll make the play-offs, contrary to recent form.

 

[Ian]

We'll make the playoff's but will fail spectacularly as is the TRFC way.

 

[Mal]

Don't let Malkin see your post ;0)

 

[Gray]

We'll make the playoff's but will fail spectacularly as is the TRFC way.

The way we performed in front of the cameras against Shrewsbury tells you everything you need to know about our chances in the play-offs. We just don't have a big club mentality and go to pieces when the spotlight is on us.

Not sure my nerves could handle the play-offs again, I remember the last time with the penalty shoot-out against Hartlepool in 04/05. Still hurts :-(

I'm going to stick my neck out and say Cov to get promoted via the play-offs.

 

[WildRover]

IF we dont make the playoffs even, I really want Yeovil to win them....

 

[Higgy]

Chaps some interesting reading in here. Lot of positivity - but way off the mark - sadly.
