Is it to hopeful to get into the play offs

[THE FLASH]

Its a shame...

BUT for me it gone.

Lindsey appointment and dogshit January window has fucked us.

Sandro can fuck off!

   Lavinier      FBT.    Clayton  Tomlinson

  
  McEachran        Khan            Williams


 Shade.               Austin.           Wakeling

we would have a decent chance in my opinion

I think we are a weaker team than this time last season, when we only just made it thanks to our miraculous late run in. We had Payne, Mckirdy, Reed and even 'Frenchy' (all in good form) The likes of Egbo were better than what we have now.
So, on the basis of that, I don't think we've got enough to make it this year. And if we somehow did, can anyone really see us having the mettle to bully our way through three play off games?

Not this year it won't.   We have some good players in the squad but far too many are best at full back so it's just not balanced enough.   
Wakeling needs to platy in the centre Shade isn't that good so carries nowhere near the threat of mckirdy/Barry. 

3 full backs and 3 left footers in a back 4 that has never played together.  Only about 30 or so caps at centre back between Clayton and FBT with only Khan in front of them - Khan will get sent off.

Anyway Lavinier and Tomlinson are injured and will probably miss the next 3-4 games based on what JM said in the presser last week.

Doomed no but we have made it extremely hard for ourselves with poor squad building and panicky sales in Jan

The stat of us having a 25% chance sounds pretty reasonable. Only 4 points off right now and whilst we have some tough games still to come (including 5 of the top 7 and Bradford) we also have to play all of the bottom 4.

[Peter Venkman]

As of now, we're 15th on the home only table and 8th on the away only table.

Last season we were 11th on the home table and top on the away table.

2020/21 League One we were 20th on the home table and 21st on the away table, so nominally better at home but shit at both

2019/20 League Two (Wellens) we were third on both tables (and Champions, go figure)

2018/19 League Two we were 17th on home table, 7th away

2017/18 League Two we were 15th home, 3rd away

2016/17 League One we were 22nd home, 19th away

2015/16 League One we were 16th on both

2014/15 League One we were 4th on both


To be honest this took much longer than I was expecting to look back, but the last time we were clearly better home than away was 2013/14 when we were 4th in League One Home form, 16th away form. To give you an idea of how much has changed since then, Wolves won League One that year, Kevin MacDonald started the season as manager and our top goalscorer was Nile Ranger...

Edit: Alternatively, what Chang said

Obviously if and its a huge IF we can go on a run of course we can go up in the autos but for me its highly unlikely, we could more easily make the play offs but again I fear we will fall short of that target.

As a comparison to last season.....

This time last season after us playing 31 games we were in 7th place on 49 points scored 49 goals and conceded 38.

This season after us playing 31 games we are in 11th place and 45 points having scored 40 goals and conceding 35.

This time last season after 31 games the promoted teams were - FGR 1st on 66 points, Exeter 4th on 53 points and Rovers 11th on 44 points.

Play off qualifiers were Northampton 3rd on 55 points Mansfield 6th on 50, Swindon 7th on 49 and Port Vale 9th on 45.

So being 1 point better off than Rovers...we are going up!

Happened before! just not to us.

If Town went up autos in say 3rd place, then Morris would have a hell of a lot of credit in the bank as it wouldn't be down to luck and more quickly being able to get the most out of his players. POs sneaky 7th might infer some luck along the way (see vs Salford t'other night).

It would be Town's own 'Miracle of Castel di Sangro', maybe the papers would call it the 'Miracle of Castel di Sandro'

Cant see Crawley playing all their kids on the final day like Scunny....they might need to win.

NOW that would be a highlight of the season...

Crawley’s last 4 games - 4 shots on target.

Even that team, which is probably close to the best, is riddled with issues.

The two at centre back looked very suspect when together, it completely messes with FBT being on the right side.  Clayton is still learning the game.

Midfield is a shooting gallery for the opposition - Khan is not discplined enough to be a lone player, which he would be in that formation.  not just literally speaking, but in terms of holding position.

Shade is meh at best and Wakeling should be used as he has the past two games, in and out.  Not getting burned out by playing every game.  Like Clayton, he should be developed, not relied upon.

Two fullbacks would be our best options I think, but not going to play for a while.  So it will actually be Hutton and Iandolo.  Hutton is not really a defender, Iandolo is Iandolo.

[RobertT]

Oh, and we can make the play offs, but not sure we will and really not sure we'd progress in them when it boils down to pressure football.  Hopefully I talk utter shit - the evidence thus far suggests not, but I'm happy to be the idiot.

[Nomoreheroes]

No. It’s ‘too’ hopeful.
