No chance


Wow! Nothing like confidence is there? We can dream as fans can't we, otherwise, what's the point?

I reckon about a 5% chance of making them. I'd snap your hand off if you offered me a tenth placed finish right now.

6 points from our next 3 games (Colchester, Wycombe and Morecambe) and we've got a chance, isn't it just nice we are still talking about a play off chance in the middle of Feb? Would have snapped your hand off for that at the start of the season

Any team in the top half have a chance of making the play offs,

If we get a good unbeaten run to the end of the season it could be another Wembley trip for us,

We are getting a good all round squad together so do not write us off yet.

For me it was 13th last month and it will be 13th at the end of the season

We're 3 points off the play-offs. How anyone could write off a teams chances of finishing in the top 7 when they are 3 points away from it is baffling.

The season up to this point suggests we're not consistent enough to make the play-offs, but there's no reason why we couldn't go on a good run now which could push us into that top 7 at just the right time.

I wouldn't take a 10th placed finish if offered now either. Not while it's still possible to finish higher than that.

Maybe because we're so inconsistent? For every game like today there is an Exeter or Hartlepool at home (in fact maybe 1:2). Even away where we've been better we've been tonked 5-0 by a struggling team in the last week or so. We've got so many new players who need to settle in too.

I'd take 10th in our first season back without putting together a proper run at any point in the season. If we suddenly discover the ability to put a run together at this time of year we'd be a candidate for an unlikely play off spot.

I may have been hast saying we will finish 13th when we have to play 7 of the teams above us again, its quite tight so winning these games could be crucial.

I'd say that applies to most of this division though, which is why it's not a complete impossibility.
