I think we'll make the play offs.

But he needs to take a serious look at the style of play. Yes, we've been grinding out results like he's said but it is poor.

 

[Hartyblade]

Erm, i wouldn't count swansea out of it.

The games against reading and cardiff away are the big ones, other than that. derby blackpool barnsley forest all at home? thats 12 point written all over it tbh.

I did it last week, and had Reading as Champs, Dogheads second. We sneaked into the play-offs in 6th, alongside Brumagem, Tom Finney and Caerdydd.

Well forget Reading away ..... main thing for me are the next two, and hopefully a normally subdued Tuesday evening experience won't frighten the lads too much. We all know that Big Bad Rob will score for Dooooorby, but they're beatable.

If we could just get six from the next two, who knows what we can do with our tails up ......

Damn right!

You need to get out more!

With our home record? You can't be serious!

I think we'll make the playoffs, despite how bad a team we actually are. I tip us to finish 4th, I just hope we don't get Cardiff in the playoffs. They'd be the only team that worry me in the playoffs if Reading go up automatic.

The whole league is generally poor, so I don't fear anyone other than Reading and Cardiff.

 

[Lincoln Blade]

I had wolves as champs, reading runners-up and cardiff close behind... and then us in 4th

 

[Hartyblade]

We play bad against GOOD teams at home

 

[ChopperSUFC]

We'll easily get in play offs. No chance of auto though

 

[stuie01]

When you look at the run in there are some key games for everyone at both ends of the table. If we beat Cardiff and Reading we have a good chance of playoffs but it is so close to call

 

[Come from away]

I thought this thread was about the "ruin" then I realised it was 'run in', but based on some of these comments perhaps I had it right the first time. Play-offs I believe, but automatic requires some big stumbles and a really solid run in.
