I’m going to be optimistic and say we will get 21/22 points from our last 9 games.Is there anyone else who thinks this is possible, and would it get us in the playoffs??
I still think 67 or 68 points will sneak into the play offs, but alas I don't think WE will but, we want to see McCann and the boys keep going right till the end. I think we'll fall just short Still, as long as they treat every game now as a cup final, we're capable of beating anyone, particularly as squeaky bum time sets in and the nerves jangle.
No, we can't. But there are still reasons to be cheerful if we continue to improve and have a strong finish.Considering how we started the season and how we finished last season, a top half finish would be pretty spectacular. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but it would be the first time we've actually improved on the previous season's finish since McCann was here last time. That's the first sign of actual progress as a club in years. That could be massive going into next season.

It’s the same with you will always get a unlikely team that puts in a great performance, kicking out 7/8 wins in the final 10 games, and come from nowhere to clinch a playoff spot, and I believe that can be us, the unlikely candidates have nothing to lose.

With all the teams challenging this year someone will have a very good run to take 7th (assuming none of the top 6 collapse).

The other fact to take into account Dutch is that winning our next nine games, which is what is required to get us into the play offs realistically, would mean an 11 game winning run.We have been established as a club since 1879 and spent nearly 100 years in total as a league club. Throughout that entire league history our record league winning run is 10 games (1946/47 season).Are we going to break an all time record this season, of all seasons?
I doubt that would get a play off spot mate but it should get us a top half finish and some of us, who didn’t cash out, would get a payout from the bookies.

Records are there to be broken CBcb Having said that I think 11 consecutive wins is highly unlikely.
From where we were before Christmas, it’s just refreshing to be even reading this thread!
What did the table look like after the boxing day fixtures compared to today?
