It might be good odds but it does reflect the fact that the top five are getting away from us and our only hope is of getting sixth place.Even that looks more difficult now after last weekends results.
It's good odds because as said above,it's slipping away from us. I think in another 3 weeks it will all be over.

I have looked at the matches the top 6 solely play against other and for say rotherham v coventry i give each one markResultsrotherham 13 matches to play are 4 (meaning they play 4 out of the current top 6 - obviously 5 is the maximum !!!)coventry 14-4wycombe 12-2peterb 11-3sund 13-3portsmouth 14-2and Rovers are 13 -3 meaning play 3 out of the top 6 (of course in theory it could have been 6 so they play half of themthis so called analysis which actually was done on the back of an envelope - note the comment !!

Your opinion of course and you could possibly be right, but if we win 3 or even all four of our next 4 matches then we will be very much in the race. On paper 10/12 points are very possible. Yes it’s not played on paper of course but i am quite sure there is considerably more positivity on the training field and in the dressing room than some of our supporters are showing on this forum.
Out of interest though mate, when is Feb 30th?
We will see. Personally i think we have a great chance. As good as any in the top 11Not long ago almost everyone was complaining our squad had no depth to it. The team picked itself. Now he has added players to the squad & he has freshened it up by making changes and some of us our are moaning about it. Who would be a manager eh? Can’t win whatever he does some will be unhappy.

Can’t win whatever he does some will be unhappy.Yes, we have a chance but I can’t agree it is as good a chance of any of the teams above us.We are miles away from some of them.I am happy that we have added to the squad as it was obviously not deep enough before the end of January.However, for example, leaving both Copps and Sads out at Gillingham was a bad move (IMO) on top of the enforced change due to the injury to Reece.Almost a third of the team that won the previous match.

I reaaaaaaally hope I'm wrong but after the Tranmere game (we were excellent) I thought we were going to build a real run of positive results, but 4 points out of 12 including 2 flat home games against Rochdale and Bolton wasn't great and I'm much less confident we'll make play offs i'm afraid. Just think we need that run to get in top 6 and thought that it'd come after Tranmere if it was going to come at all. Positive thing is though is that we're still in the mix. We need to win on Saturday mind...

We are a squad in formation and have the best prospects of attaining a solid platform by next season to achieve promotion and sustain our Championship status.Darren has not only a coaching formula but a socio cultural and motivational ethic that attracts the young and hungry who may be deprived of the Premiership dream but who with him can play and achieve the best of themselves with him and DRGC .
