Play offs I reckon. Feeling very pessimistic.

10 points from our remaining 10 games would seal it.

Did you feel that way last week after Coventry? Will you feel that way if we win at Brentford on Tuesday? Hmmm

Ha I've learned to always expect the worse as a Swindon fan and then the good times are great.

I can't see Donny dropping from the top 2.

10 games left.
6 away (Brentford, Yeovil, Doncaster, Fucking Franchise, Sheffield United and Scunthorpe)
4 home (Notts County, Oldham, Crewe and Stevenage)

I have no idea how this will pan out.
Our home form is awful at present, our away form is impressive (last away defeat was Notts County in November), but with 4 of the top 6 to play away, these games won't be easy.

To get in the autos I reckon we'll need to win at least 7 of these.
It's ours to throw away.

That is very tough on paper!

Especially if we continue to struggle at home.

I have had a feeling since Ritchie went that we would be meeting Bournemouth in the Playoff final....how we both get there is anyones guess....but the Hartlepool,Bury and now Walsall results have me thinking auto is not on the radar anymore.

2 from 9 against those has me remembering the Wilson playoff year...Leeds away and all that but failing v Walsall and Exeter in the home matches to put our seal on an auto place.

Coventry in the final would be a rather tasty affair i reckon.

But no i am going to remain positive....at present i am looking for a few yards to park my lorry at Brentford on account of having to pick up in Slough onTuesday!!

Ten matches still and we could still sneak an auto.

All these horrible feelings. Relax.

If we make the Play-Offs after the last month or two then I would deem that a great achievement. None of the other challenging clubs has faced our issues (not their problem, I grant you) but we're still up there fighting.

We're still Ok. We've hit the self destruct button and we're still right in there. If you'd have offered me this position before the season started I'd have snatched your hand off. The nerves will really start to kick in. A lot of our players have seen it all before. If we can get in a couple of decent loanees we'll be alright. Top 2 is still well on Whereas we've got to go to Brentford, Sheff U, Yeovil and Donny, i can't see any of them looking forward to playing us and at the mo I'd rather put the pressure on them and be the away team.
My glass is still half full - a bit disappointed as we could have been so much better off but all the others will be claiming that too.

We're 2 (TWO) points off the autos yet after a poor result (that wasn't actually that poor) some of you are banging on as though we've blown it.

Can we get back in the mix?.... We ARE in the mix.

It's still in our own hands and the fact we've got the better teams to play will work in our favour. Always has.

We'll finish Top 2.

In the strongest position we've been in for ages. Some decent loanees will see us up automatically.

Looks like a few of us are remembering 2010 when we limped over the line.  However, our home form seems to have dipped earlier this time, which gives us time to turn it around.

I can see us picking up more points away from home now than at home and like Ralphy said I think Doncaster will take one of the auto spots. If we don''t bring in any decent loans, I think the play offs beckon.  Third time lucky at the new Wembley?  Smiley
