too late for auto promotion?

Long way to go yet. Probably best if we actually win a few games first though....

 

It looks out of reach if I'm honest but it's a funny old game is football.....

 

We are gonna win the league.

COME ONNN CIIITTYY!!

 

Not too late but it would have been better done a week ago. The new manager might have been able to have Doyle produce his Swindon form for Bradford City.

 

Would absolutely love it if we went auto, but I doubt it.

 

Yep, too late.

Not only the points, not only the games in hand, but the weakening of the squad.

Plenty good enough for 7th, 3rd is a BIG stretch.

Anyone delivering 3rd is a hero.

 

There's nearly a third of the season to go. Form can change very quickly and teams can get very nervous at the top as the pressure mounts towards the end. Very often a side puts a string of wins together and shoots into contention late on. No reason at all why that shouldn't be us now.

 

These next 4 games are key. 10pts is definitely within our reach with the right man at the helm.

Then come Plymouth at home. Could be a big 6 pointer. Win that and there's a chance

All about momentum now. Let's hope we get that honeymoon bounce...

 

I'm not writing it off but it's unlikely

 

No

 

To expect a new man to come in and get us in the playoffs is asking a hell of a lot

 

Consistency in terms of winning consecutive games doesn’t seem to be a thing in this league so I say why not if we can buck that trend.

 

I actually don't care. The down ward slide existing from last year needs to halted. Decide on how we want to play and onwards and upwards...... I know we are 8th but goodness me I don't know how.

I don't think many teams have our away following in the division so let's start a winning mentality and bloody enjoy the remaining games ..... Our home form is okay

 

Only too late when mathematically impossible but no more 3/10 chance IMO unless we beat all 3 of crewe exeter and plymouth.

 

Apparently we had 3 wins out of 15 according to Sparks. I am never one for stats, but that startled me, plus apparently on average 2 shots on target each match including cup matches! My guess is the club have been looking at this for awhile.

 

If they have been looking for a while they should have done the task before the deadline

 

Yeah that's sort of quite obvious really.

Or maybe they were just making sure ED and JV had definitely gone before using that spare money to pay GB off.

 

It's by no means beyond a possibility. Certainly need to win the next two games. That might just instill enough confidence for the last months of the season. Attack attack attack!!!

 

A very big ask to get top 3. If remember the numbers right then the average for top 3 is about 83 points so that would mean we'll need 36 points from 15 matches and to put that into perspective 0 teams have done that in the last 15 games at the moment, the nearest being plymouth on 34 points from the last 15. Play offs is much more realistic with about 72 points needed so only 25 points from 15 games which 6 teams have done at least that in the last 15 games.
