Baldyboy 0 Posted March 14, 2017 Not having a go at the OP, but if he went to more games like a lot of us do, maybe LDC you would see why! It''s all well and good being optimistic but even you must occasionally live in the real world? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted March 14, 2017 Sorry, but I don''t believe the future is written in advance. A club can go on a run of wins from even the most dire of positions......but if the the board, players and fans have largely given up, then what on earth is it all about? Vibes bad? Well why not shake yourselves down and get on with it - the season isn''t over until it''s over. Monty Python had it right - look on the bright side!!

Making Plans 936 Posted March 14, 2017 [quote user="Jamie Witherspoon"]We could suddenly reverse our form and win all our games.The teams above us could suddenly reverse their form and lose all their games, or draw the ones in which they play each other.It is possible. [/quote]It is possible, it could happen but it won''t happen.I know it, you know it, the Board knows it, the players know it.The time for replacing the Manager was 4 months ago, then it was more likely to happen but not now.We wasted time making a no brainer decision to get rid of him and with 9 games left we won''t recover from it.

Ginja 26 Posted March 14, 2017 We are without a left back for the next 3 games and can''t even beat the sh*ttest teams in the league.Other than it''s mathematically possible, the bottom of the barrel reasoning, there is nothing to suggest we will make the play offs.

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted March 14, 2017 Frustratingly for me, we left it just a bit too late to have a real chance at the playoffs - with 27 points available and an 8 point gap and 2 teams above us who will also be trying for 6th spot, I can''t see it happening. If the board had sacked the manager a month earlier, there would have been a real chance of making up the ground, but I think it''s too late now. Sheff Wednesday are actually on a poor run at the moment, with just one win in their last five. Some of us remember that single win much more clearly than we''d like.

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted March 14, 2017 If we put a run together.Well, with no manager, four away wins all season and an awful run of form, there''s no to little chance of that.No way we''re finishing in the top six LDC, and I think you know that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]LDC, there''s "having a shout" and there''s having a "real chance". We no longer have a real chance, but yes, we''re in with a shout in the sense that if we go on an amazing run and enough of the teams above us cock it up, we could still make it. Stranger things have happened but I''m not going to lose any sleep over the possibilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Win on Saturday and Sheff Wed/Fulham fail to win and we close the gap by at least two points in one week - and there are eight more of those weeks, or matches.
