    It's just impossible to call. Any successful predictions at this stage are just lucky guesses. One thing I am certain of is that our play off fate will go down to the final game. If we get there it's really anyone's guess.

    I think it will still be mathematically possible to get auto going into the Orient game but it will rely upon other teams slipping up on the last day.

    I think we’ll finish 6th or 7th Dave, but lose in the semi finals

    I said on another thread the other week, I have zero confidence that we have enough players with the adequate bottle to see out a Wembley final, the Millwall loss still hurts so another one will be heartbreaking

    I don’t think this team is good enough or has the mentality to win the playoffs personally. I think Mansfield look like most likely winners and after last years bad defeat to Port Vale will have even more determination to win.

    Anything can happen in the playoffs. That is if we actually get in them which at the moment could go either way. Unfortunately this side doesn't have the same quality as the 2013 side, it ain't far off but that midfield struggles too much for me.

    The big difference between this team and 2013 is mentality for me, we bottle games too often. It doesn’t help that VP is so tense in the stands in comparison to then either but ultimately we’ve a soft underbelly.

    Not sure what's ahead but the number of times this season we have failed to kick on in pivotal games gives me a slight feeling of trepidation about the final outcome.
    Heart saying yes we can but head saying no chance Dave.

    Most people I speak to seem confident we will make the play offs I wish I was Northampton are breezing home Crewe have improved and we play the champions on the last day who will be up for it as most teams are with a big gate to play in front of and shut up.
    I really hope not but I think we are on course for eighth

    The atmosphere was toxic in the 20 mins today, doesn't help the players at all.

    Crichlow was a nervous wreck after his error led to their early goal and the vitriol pouring from the kop did him no favours.

    Yes, I know the players should be able to handle it, but it was over the top and way out of order on my opinion

    And the man who sets the tactics was to blame for that inviting pressure and mistakes right rom the start causing uncertainty and panic. Stupid dead ball routine and attempts at playing out from the back. The crowd hate it and I bet secretly the players do as well. Having said all that the rows reaction was very harsh

    Todays result certainly put a damper on things it felt like we'd lost instead of a very good second half performance that got our noses in front, but did we deserve all three points in all honesty.
    Although Gillingham could have been 3 goals to the good how many times have we made the same comment with regards our first half performances this season.
    Many have said most of this season take Cooks goal out of this team and were ordinary at best, I'll get slammed for this comment but even though Banksy won MOTM he really needs to start making the keeper work rather than trying to score worldies, we know he's capable but Tuesday night and again today he was over doing it IMO.

    Of course no one likes to hear what was coming from the Kop but it was not just the Kop many around us were totally frustrated with how we were still trying to play out from the back and making their opinions known with the near misses we'd caused ourselves.
    There was certainly lots of frustration but if your manager drills it into you at training this is the way he wants you to play it must be difficult for the players to disregard what the manager wants, we've been lucky on several occasions this season when we've got away with passing out from the back.
    I get the logic behind it but if your players are not comfortable doing it your in trouble especially when the opposition high press as Gillingham did today not giving you space to play that way and it was obvious from the moment we did it they were quite happy to let us put pressure on ourselves, a very frustrating day at the office.

    If we don't make the play offs, surely it's the managers fault.
    He's assembled the squad.
    He dictates the tactics.
    Football is a results based business.
    Thanks for everything Mark, but good bye

    Even premier league teams have come unstuck trying to do it in recent times. For me, at any level it's a dodgy tactic. At league 2 level it's complete madness. To do it today, knowing how the fans feel about it and knowing how we needed to be on the front foot from the off was beyond madness.
