I'm afraid I have, yes. I have had us down for automatic promotion all season but I can now see us ending up in the play offs and missing out.

I'm listening to Sturrock right now and he's saying the right things i.e he is going to make changes and bring players in but exactly what changes can he make that will really make a difference?

I cant remember where I thought we would end up.I know I thought anything other than automatic promotion would be failure for this squad in this league.Funnily enough a Rovers fan I chat to predicted  it would go tits up when the pitches got heavy perhaps I should have listened to him.

I'm still going for auto promotion.

Don't know whether it's because I'm just a really positive person............


Or a fucking retard...................

I'd say it'll depend on how we play until the end of the season.

My opinion hasn't changed because I didn't know then, and I don't know now :P

If Sturrock can get a reaction out of them, then we are capable.

I've been optimistic throughout but today was the day that I've switched to the "FUCK, SHIT, BOLLOCKS - we're gonna mess it up" mind-set.

Unless Sturrock strikes gold in the loan market for a striker - we will not get promoted.

Thought we'd be champions, but the lack of fire power will probably see us come 3rd 4th or 5th

i've said all along, we'll finish 5th, and win the play-offs, even under wise. You have to have belief

i still maintain we are having a blip and we're not really getting cast adrift of the autos... we WILL hit some form before the end of the season whether its enough or not is another matter...

anyway, i've been watching ipswich playoff semis and final from 2000 with my ipswich flatmate and it made me remember the buzz of the playoffs, so it wouldnt be that bad.
until we lose.

I always thought we would struggle tbh - these are (mainly) the same players that got us relegated last season...

Smith
Vincent
Williams
Weston
Evans
Timlin
Zaboub
Noubissie
Sturrock

Yes. Other than those nine they are indeed mainly the players we had last season :?

But you know what would happen don't you in the playoffs!!!
Wycombe in the final and Mooney would pop up and score in the 97th minute or something daft to keep us down!!!

I love the idea of the playoff excitement, but its an excitment i'd be more than happy to miss out on and slip in in 3rd place!

I have a funny feeling we will get to the last game of the season and be 3 points adrift of walsall in 3rd and it'll be all down to that game and goal difference!

I'm going to stay positive and say we will go up automatically.

I said we'd stay up last season though, so that may just be misplaced optimism. :cry:

I had us down for mid table to play offs before a ball had been kicked this season.  The first few months provided a realisation that the teams were worse than I had imagined and a bit of well organised boring football may well have got us up in the top 3.  Seems my original prediciton may not have been too far off in the first instance.

I can see us being just as likely to lose every game for the reast of the season, as win them all.  It really seems that way, just depends which of Sturrocks teams turn up on the day at the moment.
