Play-Offs

[Barling Magna]

Apart from our own game at Yeovil there is only one other play off chasing team's match to look out for tomorrow:
Braintree v Eastleigh

We need our Essex cousins to get a win or a draw. Come on The Iron.!

 

[Barling Magna]

I'm not so sure. They gained only one point last night and haven't won in five games. I reckon they'll be lucky to get seven points from their next four matches against Barnet, Tamworth, Altrincham and Gateshead.

Well, so far they have gained one point from two of those four matches. The Altrincham game today is a Trophy match so I should add their fifth match which is.... at Halifax.

Honestly not looking at anyone else tbh. We have to do our job and win those games. Having said that we have 13 games left I think we need to win 9/10 of those to get that last play off place. As I said I’m not watching anyone else, well maybe I will if when there is 3/4 games left and we need 2 wins or something like that. i am a very hypercritical person by the way.

As your your known as Realist.....How about 8 wins and 3 draws. Thats 1 point above the 2 per game target and probably enough to see us in the top 7.

Can probably forget the play-offs now. No consistency and not winning enough games

I don't think so. Eastleigh have just lost. We have 2 home matches this week, one of which is against a team we are chasing. This may well be a huge point come the end of the season.

Altrincham have two games in hand, Halifax 1. We play Altrincham next week and we know how good we are at Saturday 3pm home games...

Then forest green, it’ll be a massive achievement

Well let's get through Tuesday and see. Saturday could be another huge game but only if we win against Woking.

That last minute goal will be huge in the changing room. We don't score away from home and have got two and we don't come back from losing often and have come back again. Things are going in the right direction. We have to laud that. It takes time.

Agreed buddy !!
Cmon you beautiful Shrimpers

...GONE.

Altrincham have gotta play York us and Rochdale all away in there next three Halifax have forest green Tuesday today could be a massive point going into 2 home games

Of course, but anything is possible. Plenty on here moaned that we didn't stuff Braintree away and that a 1-0 win wasn't good enough. Eastleigh have just lost there. Anything can happen at this level, and frequently does. You can't rule anything out until it factually is ruled out. Keep the faith.

 

[Blue Yonder]

After 34 games by my calculation our best run of wins is two and we’ve managed that just twice. There is absolutely no evidence we are capable of putting together the run required to reach the play offs unfortunately. That doesn't mean it can't happen.

We've done it twice

Dagenham and Fylde

Ebbsfleet and Braintree

 

[Jim Levenstein]

They never really were in the picture. We are not good enough

 

[Chrisb]

While it is still possible we, as SUFC supporters, must expect the unexpected.

 

[onceknownasrab]

Our chances of the play-offs are on par with the quickly melting snowball rolling rapidly downhill and through the gates of Hades.

 

[Barry.C]

Be very interesting if we did win the next 2 home games. Statically , although highly unlikely, if results went our way elsewhere, we would actually be in the play offs
But are we good enough to keep up a win, win, win sequence?
Also have hamstring issues now with Ralph and Coker, to wait and see on

 

[Barling Magna]

Tuesday's games look tough for most of our rivals:

Eastleigh v Ebbsfleet. Eastleigh should win that.

Halifax v FGR. Halifax will do well not to lose.

Rochdale v Gateshead. Gateshead must be favourites with Rochdale's poor form.

York v Altrincham. Altrincham will surely lose.

 

[pottster]

The target is still 73 points. So 25 points from 36. The important thing is not to lose, so while yesterday felt like a defeat it's not the end of the play offs. Our current win rate based on last five games is roughly 1.8. Win the next game and it all changes.
