    To make top 6 we have to make up a min 4 points over a 13 run of games, not undoable but no piece of cake.

    It’s definitely doable but a challenge and a half. not sure if undoable is a word mind :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Next 4 games are really tough. Well 3 of the 4. I think that will be the end of it unfortunately. The club will have expected a good return from Huddlesfield and Birmingham and to be keeping in touch.

    Would love us to turn it around mind.

    Won’t happen now. Horrendous away from home recently and some tough games on the road coming up.

    Can’t see it. Think we’re going to end up where I thought we would at the start of the season which is around 9th/10th

    It’s done now. No way we get 7 points back without games in hand.

    Aye, closer to 14th than the playoffs.

    I think we’d need to lose maybe a maximum of one more game to have a chance now. There’s too many other sides in and around it who are peaking at the right time.

    Im relatively relaxed about it as it’s where I had expected we’d end up at the start of the season. Much more interested in how we spend the money we are due to receive from sales in the summer.

    Yep. Coventry who’re currently 7th have only lost of their last 18 games!

    Need 2 points a game from here on in to have a chance. That is a massive ask given the fact we have most of the top 6 to play

    Time to get minutes into the young lads, don't see the play-offs happening and there's only a hammering waiting for us should we squeeze in.

    I think in all honesty we need to stop talking about this season and start thinking about next season.

    …and completely drop Burstow. He’s not our player. Start someone who will be here next season.

    Yeah there is no long term reward in him playing.

    There isn't much short term reward either but that's a different discussion.

    Well if your glass is half full, win those games and the gap closes.
    Only semi serious, but with this club you just never know what's going to happen next.
    I was looking forward to a nice relaxing run in to the end of the season and the chance to test some of our younger players in a relatively safe environment. We will probably win our next two games, get our confidence back and be there or there abouts right to the end of the season having to play our strongest team every week.
    Hey come on I can still dream, cant I?
