Delias Tasty Nibblets 0 Posted February 27, 2008 The season we last made the playoffs we were 4 points off them with 12 games left, and then 19 points later we sneaked in with 3L 4D and 5W. This season we are 7, 8 including goal difference off, so for the same outcome to happen we may need 23 points from our last 12. Improbable but not impossible :)Also interestingly after the 1-0 defeat at home to Birmingham we were 6 points off with 7 games left, also having played a game more than most of the teams in the playoffs. Dont take this as a ''were going to make the playoffs etc etc'' speech, but it does show its not as impossible as some think, and its a very interesting comparison between the two seasons.

Trent Canary 0 Posted February 27, 2008 I looked at it a few weeks ago and drew similar conclusions. The only problem is instead of having to overtake one or two teams (Burnley and preston I think) we have to overtake six or seven, then outperform the teams below us! With a pretty tough fixture list too.Id like to think its possible, but I just think theres too many teams to overtake. At least with Charlton on a poor run we can fight for 5th and 6th, when a few weeks ago 5th was miles away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boyo 0 Posted February 27, 2008 I would like to get there but the teams above us are also going for the play offs so they will be raring to go for every match and I dont think we will get there this season. And it amazes me that we are now talking about play offs when a couple of months ago we were talking about relegation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
