Final League Position (POLL)

Haha, thought it was Meltham in NSW, got excited.

Fosters, XXX... memories of drinking that crap in Yeadon when younger, horrible stuff. Crown or One Fifty Lashes is my posion nowadays pal.

 

Don't blame you, I can get Foster's here, brewed in Texas, tastes like crap. Anyway, figured there must be a Meltham in Oz.

 

We only have the odd game in hand over most teams so we're all in the same boat regards Tues/Sat games. But your point re injuries is a valid one.

 

Checked the site this morning to see I’d emigrated!!! Hope I’ve left missus Meltham behind!!
Then realised it was dark cold and horrible so Meltham massive is back to being just a fat lad from Huddersfield!!

 

Every club will be in the same situation with regards 2 games a week, with the quality of players we brought in during the January window and getting the likes of Guthrie,DMH, BRE, out with the likes of Novak Clarke, Hosannah, Staunton and yes Zeli fit I'd suggest we now have a very strong squad, just a matter of avoiding any long term injuries.

 

I've just looked at all our fixtures up until the re arranged Scunny game in late March.
Every game against a team above us.
Keep our form going then we will be big movers in the table.

 

After the Crawley game, T and S's first match in charge, we were 14 points from 7th having played the same amount of games.
We were 19 points off 3rd!!
9 games later we are 9 points off the play offs with a game in hand and 13 points off 3rd.
Win this leaves us 6 points off 7th or 10 points off 3rd with 19 games left.
If these 2 can maintain our form then we would be pushing for a top 3 spot potentially in our last few games of the season.

 

And what are you doing in Honley Rod ?

 

I think we will make the playoffs no probs, if there's a season to go up its this one, I don't believe it would be too early either as it seems most if the starting 11 could perform in league 1 in my opinion, there would be alot of work to improve the squad to cope but I think we would be fine

 

The saving grace is all other teams are in the same situation but looking at our bench and those who can't get on it should hold us in good stead

 

The only good Stead is Jon Stead !

 

We are hard. We could play Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and it wouldn't be a disadvantage

 

True. Your argument would hold more sway if say 10 games left, but with teams having to play so many games in a short period I think our squad will prove more important. I did vote 8-13 though as we wouldn't be able to have any bad patches

 

Can we still make the playoffs? How many points do you think we need to get to? 80?

 

Very achievable if we can keep the current form up.

 

We look more solid and harder to beat which is pleasing but to reach the play offs we need up our game a bit. The good thing is we now have the players capable of doing that.
On paper today is a big ask but on the flip side it is a game I now think we are capable of coming away with three points, then we will have a better idea of if it is achievable. The thing about this club is that any success has usually been against the odds with a late run or beating sides we weren't expected to beat. The run to Wembley 2013, Liverpool to stay in the Premier League, and even beating Wolves to get there.

 

2.3 pts per game would be needed to get 80 points, but guess less than this will probably do
