Still need to win at least 9 of the last 11.
No chance.
No chance.
Playoffs
- Thread starter st06nc2
- Start date
Still teams like Morecambe and Cambridge slipping up, we can go 12th if we beat them
yep but play offs we have more chance of the pope turning protestant,

Anything could happen
just need to pick up as many points as possible. too many sides above us to realistically get into the play offs. not the most difficult run in on paper either but it will give coley the chance to see what they could do next season.
Will it though MH?
Will a good run just attract more clubs in for our better players? Will it not just be a rebuilding job yet again?

Would love to see Coley get chance to really put a team together. I think we have the core in place.
I think the number of key players (7 of our key players- Etheridge,Davies,Buxton, Crooks,Windass, Mingoia, Winnard) leaving had him on the backfoot.

Mr T - I thought Beckles option was in his favour for some reason.
Anyway, if what you say is correct we've got a great squad in place next year. Might Matty P attract an offer too good to refuse? I thought Beckles would be much wanted too - although he has not been as dominant since Harvey arrived.
If we can keep 3 of 4 from Matty, the Don, Becks and Hughes I'd be happy.
We'd need a decent goalie.

Cashy;
I was referring to the post on the Orient thread; where a learned gentleman was suggesting; release Hughes (too slow) , release Clark and Boco. Keep Chapman, he's on a 2 year!! Sykes release (already been at two PL clubs this season on "work experience") with still a year on his contract and release Donacien!!!!

Just to re-convince myself about this playoff improbability.....
IF we win our two games in hand we would be 7 points off 7th and 9 points off 4th. (Ignore any teams between 7th and us. They are irrelevant, since for this to work we will be steaming past them anyway.)
So, that's 4 teams we could theoretically catch, but only 9 games left.
The teams we could catch have averaged 1.55 points/game so far. You'd think that in the remaining games some teams will average, say, 1.7 points/game whilst the others 1.3.
this means the worst of those teams might get 12 points. But since we can't choose which of those four teams only gets 12 points, lets say we need another point to be sure.
Therefore, we need to get 12+1+7 to catch them. 20 points from 9 games..... which means 26 points from 11.
We need 8 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat from the remaining games and then fingers crossed on goal difference.
IF we win the next three games then I'll change my mind, but it's an impossible task at this point.
