    I don’t know, when I was in the depths of despair about promotion, oh was it only last week. My husband said to me, auto’s are still on, we are only 7 points, and we have to play most of them. I just looked at him in disbelief, he did caveat that with, but although he thinks it is achievable it would require a positive mind set and the ability for the manager to get his finger out and change the way he plays.

    Think back to to Blackpool home and away before promotion v Notts County, we manged to into a play off position at time and hit a good run of form.

    Everything to go for all aboard the McCall express!!

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

    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.

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

    I fear that with this group of players even the play offs are almost beyond us ?. Going to take Miracle Worker to lift and drag us over that line. Boreyer should never have been allowed to oversee the transfer window ?

    We know the home form has been better than the away this year so its imperative we pick up six points from the Grimsby and Stevenage games. That’d give us belief for the trip to a winnable game at Cambridge. Win that and show the players we can win away and overcome the negative mindset Bowyer created and then keep riding the wave. I’d snap your hand off for seventh right now.

    Probably too big an ask for the autos. Still a poor league so in theory play offs should be in reach but the post transfer window squad worries me. We've come out of it weaker and the problem of our central midfield is still there!
    Hopefully though a more ambitious manager will galvanise the club and if we can build up some sort of momentum we could get on a roll.

    Tranmere did it last seasonNd came out of knowhere and went up, and werent we mid table late feb 2013 and then flew up the table in the last few weeks to go up?

    it is possible but its gonna need some players to just explode for us

    middleton could be the star man maybe? Its a fresh start now, lets see

    Far too late

    Personally with transfer window don't think we will even make playoffs now

    The next 4 games will tell us a great deal, it is not a massive amount of time to work but with the new manager bounce and a less restrictive approach from our players - it is possible we could pick up 9/10 points.

    This might be wishful thinking, but I certainly have more hope than I did Saturday evening.

    I would bite your hand off for a play off finish right now though.
