I feel (fear??? )  this is going to be the voice of many


It's the same for me, there's just no fun in it anymore. My feelings very much mirror those of ginnywings.

For me the thought of GTFC is beginning to bear similar resemblance to the thought of ex girlfriends.

I am adamant we wont, but it's been a weird season already getting doubled by Lincoln, would even be stranger to get promoted now and rub it right in those 'Gimps' faces if we did, they would be thinking "how the hell did this happen, it's just not fair." lol

We might scrape into the playoffs by one point, then play the best football we have for years in the playoffs.  You just never know lol.

Won't even make the playoffs IMO

It's a loaded question because apart from Barnet everyone in the division is more likely not to get promoted than they are to get promoted according to the bookies . So if you are hedging your bets the answer is no, but it would be for everyone else too! But we are third favourites, which is an improvement on the start of the season when we were fourth favourites. I'd have taken the league table now if you had offered it in July without a moment's hesitation.

Yeah, being 15 points off the top and auto promotion Rob. Who wouldn't have snatched the hand off at that prospect!

Someone who didn't understand what being fourth favourites at the start of the season means.

Whilst you're into your stats, do you believe that 8 wins in 18 games ( league and cup) at home is promotion form?

I don't care about that. To me it was almost arbitrary. We should have been hoping, aiming and planning for top spot in the conference. Anything else is a lottery and not worthy of us IMO. There is no bigger or better club than us in this league and we have the resources and the support to win the league. We just don't have the team or manager it seems. Still, if you're happy with fourth Rob, who am I to question that.

Anything can appear to be proved by statistics.  I suspect most people would be influenced by the direction from which we had reached 4th place, on the way up or dropping down, and how the team was performing.

It's certainly a concern and if there's something we could change to try and improve the home form without affecting the away form it's worth considering.  If you look at my 3 year table thread we are the best away side by miles over the last 3 years but only come second at home.
