Daz Sparks 1,152 Posted February 16, 2015 As the OP describes it, it is a no brainer, us promoted, they are not.However the likely scenario IS the play offs, those who seem to assert that we will be top 2 are stretching optimism a little far. We have won 7 from 9 since AN appointed and have only just broken into top 6.I am not being pessimist, but we would have to see more than 1 team suffer a big dip in form and it hasn''t happened yet and shows no real sign from where I''m looking.Heart won''t give up though, whilst it''s mathematically possible there is still hope.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted February 16, 2015 At my age and with my medical history I could well do without another playoff final penalty shootout. Let''s win every game from now until the season''s end, sneak second place, and watch the Binners crumble at Wembley in the playoff final. What could honestly be better than that?

AN has yet to prove he can do it, but the whole vibe from Saturday does bode well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted February 16, 2015 No NO NOOOO. The risk is too high and the pain simply to great to even think about if we were to lose that kind of final.Give me second with Ipswich slipping into 10th any day of the week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted February 16, 2015 If I could choose, then I''d take a playoff final 10-0 win vs Ipswich. I''ll take top 2 though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ruthers1 0 Posted February 16, 2015 What the hell are you lot on?I seem to start all my posts with that line and for good reason.Automatics???? There''s no way on this earth we''re good enough to finish in the top 2. Even if the current top 2 drop sufficient points (which they probably won''t) we''re simply not good enough on a consistent enough basis to capitalise on it.If any of you plastics could peel yourselves off your sticky keyboards for long enough to attend both home & away games you''d have seen enough evidence at home to Brentford and away to Charlton (2nd half) recently to know it ain''t going to happen this season, no way.So stop posting ''pie in the sky'' drivel about automatics and accept its play offs at best IF we can beat the likes of Watford, the fecking Filth, Boro and Derby - which ain''t a gimme by any stretch.

The Phantom 0 Posted April 18, 2015 The dream is on as I predicted promotion via the playoffs and humiliating the scum at Wembley! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Bone - Superstar 2 Posted April 18, 2015 Would be great if it happened but what about the other way round and the Binners do us at Wembley - unbearable and we would never ever live it down or be allowed to forget it.I think I would still settle for the auto promotion, I will keep hoping for now anyway.
