Can miracles happen?

[applelover]

In the history of football I don’t think there’s ever been a group of supporters, whose team are in a playoff spot with a game to go, with less expectation of getting promotion.

Can miracles happen? We need at least an away draw followed by two away wins to get to Wembley.

I’m not so sure but will enjoy the ride.

UTB!

Yes, I once saw Napster buy a round and Leeboy save a ahot (and also me score a goal for ShrimperZone FC!).

A miracle would be my 14-fold acca coming in one day.

Southend winning promotion is light work.

YOU BLUUUES

Our record against the other sides in the playoff zone is Won 4, Drawn 5, Lost 1. That's not a bad record at all, if we do make the playoffs the only team that I think is genuinely better than us is York, but they aren't invincible.

 

[ChalkwellShrimper]

Very difficult but yes it's achievable. Momentum and confidence are key as are how the respective teams respond to and handle the pressure and expectation of their fans and themselves. For York that will be extremely high. A little bit of attitude might just give you the marginal gain needed. Which is why although I wasn't initially the greatest fan of Charlie's reaction to his goal at Ebbsfleet, on reflection I can see that it's a plus for the team. A little bit more of that swagger, not just from CK, might just swing it.

Miracles can happen. It won’t stretch to a day but we’ll get a couple of hours positivity on here before the inevitable happens.

I'm going for a draw at Gateshead, (keeps our not winning more than 2 in a row going) win next 2 and draw in final winning the penalty shootout... all very easy really

 

[Pak Power]

Impossible we can manage …..miracles a little more difficult

Hopefully playing in front of large, noisy, atmospheric crowds most of the season can also help us in the rest of our games, starting BH Monday at Gateshead.

Yesterday's strong performance has certainly kept the dream alive. And the North East is not a bad place for dreaming - some of us have been dreaming since 1971 (and longer!)

I’m sorry to have to tell you that however many thousands of fans we take to that huge,barren bowl,it won’t be noisy or atmospheric.

No harm giving it bloody good go.

 

[leeblue]

Technically we can draw every game and get promoted (win a few penalty shoot outs of course)

True, it's a soulless place to play football in. I just hope it doesn't rain.
