Oldham v TLO Doncaster

[les@donr]

We're at the moment too inconsistent for the play offs. We need to get a run of wins together to have of the play offs, and hope some of the top teams hit a bad run i.e. our opponents this Saturday Southend.

Mid table would suit us this season.  We aren't good enough. A decent finish to build for next season would be best I think.

We havent beaten anyone in  top half of table yet,is that right?

[Copps is Magic]

The form over the last 10 games (1.7 ppg) would see us on 68 pts at the end of the season. Just outside the play-offs. So we need to go on a bit of a run but we're capable of doing that.

Might happen if Fergie recruits well in January. Maybe there is a player exchange involved in the deals for either Forrester or Wellens?

I don't know but we've drawn against Burton, Coventry and Wigan away so I don't read too much into it.

.........and to be fair, could have, possibly should have, won all three games.

What also stands us in good stead is that we've already played all of the top six away.

I love it when people are optimistic.

I don't think anyone is being pessimistic, but being realistic. We are not a top 6 team at the moment, but with a consistent winning run then we could be looking towards a top 6 finish. With PD incharge, most including myself were predicting relegation, no one is suggesting that now. I think we've moved along a lot since the arrival of Fergie.

I was at the Scunny game, i am a STH and sit with the BB.
You may have misunderstood my comment.
CiM had said that the faxt that we have already played the top six away and was making positive noises about our chances of pushing for top six.
I was agreeing with him, hence my "i love it when people are optimistic".

Les, to be fair we are not far away from being in with a shout of top six, i just hope DF brings the right players in in January.
We have lost just two of our last ten fixtures in League and Cup so that indicates we are going in the right direction.
Three or four consecutive league wins is not impossible and that would put us right up there amongst it.

[les@donr]

Hound, agree. I think we are saying the same thing in different ways. I did not rule out a top 6 place, only it needs a consistent run of games in which we win for us to move up the table. Presently, our inconsistent keeps us rooted in mid-table. I agree again, that Fergie needs to buy well in January, but also let the right players go, those not in his plans and tactics.
