Title: Now we can concentrate on the league..... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Saturday, January 6, 2007, 19:39:19 ....and that starts on Monday with Lincoln visiting MK Dongs in a Sky televised game. I suppose a draw would be ideal, but a handsome 5-0 Dongs win could see us go up to third without playing.

Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 13:43:25 peh, it was only 7 years ago(fucking hell. that was a while ago) when we were starting in the 3rd round. You kids nowadays have no ambition. :D

Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 13:53:51 I thought at the start of the season, a period of consolidation and a cup run under Wise would have been good.....a bit like Wycome's season. But now we have to try and go full out for automatic...so no distractions. Think Wycombe have won once since getting to the LC semi.....they're not going to get auto, but should be OK for PO's.
Two of the top five are probably going to enter the PO's on a downer.....lets hope its not us. Title: Now we can concentrate on the league..... Post by: pumbaa on Sunday, January 7, 2007, 15:22:51 1 Walsall 26 56

Reaching the playoffs from this position would be total and utter failure. The problem is that none of the top 5 have cup distractions either. Automatic promotion must be the minimum acceptable from this position. Title: Now we can concentrate on the league.....

I don't think reaching the PO's would necessarily be seen as a failure, but its perceived wisdom that if you end up in the PO's after a narrow failure at auto....you usually fail in them.

A point a piece and they're both within catching distance at the weekend and we'll have a game in hand. Title: Now we can concentrate on the league.....
