16 games left, 48 points on offer…how many needed for a top 7 finish? 30?

I reckon 28-30 which will probably mean 9 wins

Here’s the historic

Reckon it’s gotta be mid seventies.

If we make the PO’s and were to make the final, I’ve a premonition we’d play the Rovers scum and that wanker Barton would have his big day and our streak of losses continues.

Please don’t wish that shithole of a place called Wembley on us.
Never want to go to that awful soulless place again.

Meant to say. Never WILL go to that awful soulless place again.

Plenty agree, but sure we'll all go. If the pattern continues, we're on for an 8-0 thumping...

Looks like a bare minimum of 8 wins then I guess. Fourth time lucky hopefully for the new Wembley.

8 wins in 16 very doable. Will definitely need to pick up the home form though.

Who pissed of STFC No2 fan then?  come on, own up..

guess he wasn't quite committed enough

8 wins is doable but would leave us then needing around 5 draws which would mean only losing 3 from 16 which I can't see happening.

Equally we could win more than 8 Jimmy Quinn.

Game at a time, guys. Win Saturday and we’re back in the POs.

No reason to think we are less likely to remain there than the other sides sniffing around.

Spot on LL and I reckon we would need to win 9 games draw 2/3 then could still lose 4/5😀

You are right of course as hypocritically if FGR lost every game to the end of the season they wouldn't even make the play offs. Unlikely I know but still possible so even for them it has to be one game at a time.

I fear it’s more than we are likely to get.

That said if we can get a run together (like Mansfield have done) we could still make the top 3.

The problem is we have struggled to put a consistent run together because of our home form, if we can turn that around then who knows

Thing is at this, everything going forward is guesswork from all of us. Garner is as likely to trot out the mantra ‘one game at a time’ if we goon a run of wins. But that’s all he can do is focus on one game at a time. Also each game our newly adjusted team gel together more so anything is possible. I think we’ll get the PO but lose out on Wembley.

as long as we have <insert number> cup finals left, we have a chance

If Town (or any team) are going to go on a decent run - back end of Feb/early March is a great time to do it; especially if the team is in or around the mix. That thing called momentum (no, not the political movement) can be the extra gear that gets you over the dotted line for POs or dare I say it - autos.

How often do we see that kind of "came from nowhere" form, from a team that gets into the last PO spot or two with big confidence behind them?! Usually they end up being pretty decent favourites - unless the team is called STFC and it's at the "new" Wembley  :crash:

Finish a bit short.

Hope im wrong.

Story of your life mate ;)

Spot on shag!
