Suggests we need 7 or 8 more points for play-offs and 16 or 17 points for top 3 including a win at Torquay to leave them with 83 points

 

[BaileytheQuitter]

I can't see our form staying the same, I can see it getting worse.

I really am worried about making the playoffs now.

I really am worried about making the playoffs now.

We have just brought in Freddy and Mohsni is back.

Thats a boost to the squad and should see us get better.

We have 3 tough games against Cheltenham, Torquay and Oxford, 5 points from those would be a decent return, although not enough to get us up automatically. The rest are winnable.

 

[meerkat54]

prob play offs now. having freddy an mosh back is great, but i dont think ps will change to an attacking lineout at home.
Why should he change tactics after 5 months of dross and failure, as it aint sunk in yet, what chance of change for the next 5 weeks !

 

[Shrimper]

Cheltenham (H) - 1pt
Bradford (A) - 1pt
AFC Wombles (H) - 3pt
Torquay (A) - 0pt
Barnet (H) - 3pt
Oxford (A) - 0pt
Macclesfield (H) - 3pt

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Cheltenham (H) - 1pt
Bradford (A) - 1pt
AFC Wombles (H) - 3pt
Torquay (A) - 0pt
Barnet (H) - 3pt
Oxford (A) - 0pt
Macclesfield (H) - 3pt

3 home wins!?

Is Bilel's return popular with the many who wanted him gone? For Friday we have to play better. If we play ok like we did at Bristol R and if Chelts come here on form then I think Chelts will win. Pains me to say if both teams are at their best I'd still fancy chelts to win. On their day I think there second best in this div behind Swindon and found that out at their place earlier on. Disagree with the poster on here about wanting to face Chelts in play-offs. For reason that I've stated I think another fixture with them would be extremely tough. Need to get 3 points or otherwise come sat night we risk being 7th with crewe potentially 3 points behind us. Can we cope with the added pressure? One pressure to maintain the push, A second pressure as we nervously have to look over our shoulders at the mo and a third pressure of trying to prevent our own fans venting their anger if things don't go as planned. Sone Xhallemge.

 

[blue79]

Do think somehow we need an injection of pace in central defence. Chelts have pace up front and out wide and if they strike the right note our defence, especially in the middle, could be pilloried.

 

[Angell Delight]

On current form I'd sure as hell rather face Cheltenham in the play-offs than the likes of Crawley, Torquay etc.....

 

[blue79]

To be honest Angell if it is the play offs whoever we face will be a tough fixture.

 

[blue79]

Probably our players rightly or wrongly are faced with too much pressure now.

 

[r16sby]

Despite my 'Conspiracy Theory ' thread, (which was only really a waft in the air), I think that 'till now, Luggy has hoped that we would creep over the auto's line. We were struggling but despite our form, managing to stay top 3 or 4.

Now both he and RM realise that 'luck' is against us and so are the other results so.......

RM now says to PS, "Sorry Paul, you are a victim of your own early season success to the point where it's promotion or nothing. I'll even fund a return of Freddy and whatever it takes to get Bilel back, the way we are playing I do not want to depend on the play-off's. I don't mind what you do but you have got to turn this around now".

After defeat at Brizzle and with Crewe creeping nearer, PS now has only one option, schitt or bust.

4-2 win on Friday and away we go!
