    Here's a few stats from a couple of years ago.

    Obviously we are counting on other teams but it's not looking likely this will be a high points season.
    Unless someone really puts a good run in, that could be us, hopefully.

    Not counting last season, here's the previous 3.

    Hard as you say but definitely doable. Wyke hitting not only form but over and above is key to carry on and of course mcgeady.
    It's getting real nail biting times.




    Another stat I didn't realise.
    There are 8 former premier League teams in this division.
    Can anyone name the other 7 for fun ? :D

    I was saying yesterday that Lincoln could do us a favour by beating Hull at home ...

    ... Hull are the team I'm targeting and think they could crumble.

    We play them 4 games from the end which could be the game we go above them.

    Yeh the last 3 were sort of guesses, I'm at a loss to the 2 others.

    Edit. 1 will be Blackpool the other Swindon?

    You are right, Wimbledon went bust and are now AFC Wimbledon so as they stand were never in the Premier League

    Every little helps ...

    "Hull City captain Richie Smallwood has been ruled out for the rest of the season after picking up a knee injury in their loss to Burton on Saturday."

    from what nig posted seems like we should be aiming for around 95 points which would normally see us promoted , need to work out how many wins we need before the end of season

    Lincoln went ahead with 5 minutes left and blew it.

    If we did that people would be rolling their eyes tbh.

    It just shows there are no outstanding consistent teams.

    No outstanding consistent keepers either.
    If we really have hit top gear now and kick on we can do it.

    Losing that year to Chester ffs .

    I worked with a lad for a while who was a Sunderland supporter from Chester.
    I asked him why he was a Sunderland fan and he'd gone to both games.
    He said he'd never encountered such fans before.
    He was so blown away by the support he was smitten.

    Our support at Chester was absolutely unreal at a ground like that ...

    ... the stewards literally held the hands up and said 'go anywhere you like lads'.

    There was a huge PLO contingent that day, biggest I ever saw.
