Long way to go only 2 points behind 6th place Tuesday will be another hard game could see today's goal from Rochdale backed off to much
Looks impenetrable at the moment, how the hell are we to make any ground on these teams when we play so inconsistent?

If roughly 75 points are needed for 6th place then that's 30 points needed from the remaining 15 games. 5 at home, 10 away.Even if we win all 5 home games (and I don't imagine we will) we'll still need 1.5 points per game away from home - better than any away record in the league so far. It ain't happening.
So after a below par performance where we didn’t lose and moved up a place anyway, we can forget the top 6 with FIFTEEN games to go.?f**k me sideways.!Then again with this forum, why would I expect anything else..Goodnight
We need to be more consistent that is certain.Two steps forward and one step back has been the one consistent of this season so far.

Tough ask and we need some top form and luck. However, what we should all be positive about is that we have made some great steps forward and next season is one we should be positive about. I tend to think we are perhaps not ready for promotion and that next season might be better suited.But, if we have a great run....

That could happen, I get that. But that doesn't mean we can say that a top 6 finish looks likely.

For the reasons I said.I have made my point about why the playoffs are very much a long shot based on the remaining fixtures, and made a similar point on here last week.If you disagree then fine. You could have addressed what I'd actually said, made a counter point and left it at that.But no, that would've been a missed opportunity to rudely assert one's superior football supporting credentials over the supposed reactionary riff-raff, wouldn't it? And we can't be having any of that. 'Goodnight' indeed.

And we can't be having any of that. 'Goodnight' indeed. Sorry if my post offended, it wasn’t meant to and it certainly wasn’t personal.I just didn’t think that dropping 2 points in the 16th last game of the season is critical to reaching f re play offs.Yes, we will need some consistency of results especially away but i think we are more than capable of 1.5 ppg away.The issue isn’t talent, ability or the way we perform when we get out of second gear. It’s the inconsistency - as others have pointed out - which we need to address. I can’t disagree with that.Again, no personal offence intended.
