    What do people think?

    Based on the season, it's a no. However, mathematically, our remaining fixtures do somewhat favour us. Even if we win all three games, it may still not be enough. We really need results to go our way, but it's not impossible.

    Although many have already written off the season, and probably rightly so, there is a slim bit of optimism.

    Thoughts?

    I take it you haven't seen the inconsistency of City this season ? Alexanders tinker tactics and his inability to beat teams who are destined for non-league has cost us this season... Imagine the games we should have won.. Forest Green and Grimsby we would have been right up there :( even if we do win the next 3 games its Donny that are going to take that last spot.. Season was over after the Forest Green defeat.

    I still think Hughes would have got us in the play offs this season, stupid Spuds sacking him to massage his ego...

    Hughes wouldn’t have got us in the playoffs, he’d lost that energy and drive after the Carlisle defeat. 100s of City fans booing and singing sacked in the morning at Tranmere to him didn’t help his cause either.

    Mathematically it might still be possible but realistically, no chance. I noticed in the presser today when GA was talking about next year's budget he said something about not knowing yet what league we are going to be in next season. I haven't stopped laughing since.

    We're going to win the next two and lose at home.

    It's what City do.

    I agree with you on Hughes, from the pre season until he got the sack, something not right in his look and energy from the previous season.

    Yes for me he mentally checked out after the Carlisle game. He clearly resented the totally justified criticism that came his way over the Banks substitution

    Agree.

    No way Hughes would have got us in the playoffs. He only needed to tweak the system from last year but instead of doing so he ripped everything apart with the switch to 5-3-2.

    He had no idea of his best formation or XI when he was fired and he still failed to grasp the criticisms of the fans, who wanted a more positive mindset.

    Hughes really should have been sacked after Carlisle. The fans had had enough but keeping him on only delayed the inevitable, then wasted pre season and the opening months.

    Wins against Walsall & Barrow
    Doncaster beat Barrow and lose to Colchester
    Wimbledon to beat Tranmere
    Sutton to beat Crawley
    Gillingham to beat Mansfield
    Morecambe to beat Forest Green

    Sets up one of the best final days ever with 7 clubs in with a mathematical chance of the last play off spot
