    our best run of 16 games is 27
    our worst-the current one - is 18
    Top 6 is quite far off unless we invoke the spirit of Paul Heckingbottom
    13 Feb 2016 played 30 points 42 12th place
    Final table played 46 points 74 - 32 points from 16 games
    that means win all home games and draw all away games
    Championship winning form 6th place and up via playoffs
    Sadly I don't see it being realistic :(

    6pts off playoffs. Cant defend, worst forward line in living memory. Manager is tactically inept. Equals L1 next season. Owners threw towel in in Tranny window.

    May be stating the obvious, but I think the next 3 games are key to how the remainder of the season pans out. 2 local games and the rearranged one at Northampton.

    We are literally running out of chances to put together a meaningful assault on the top 6. Lose tomorrow and we’re 7 points behind 6th place Huddersfield, having played a game more, and will doubtless have reignited their season by beating us, whilst further bashing our own confidence and mood.

    In an ideal world we somehow lift ourselves to beat both T’Udders & Millers, and go to Northampton and make them pay for halting our charge with the postponement.

    Over to you Clarke & the lads.

    and so you have to ask-why are they continuing to throw good money after bad-it doesn't make business sense. Still I suppose owning a football club doesn't make business sense :)

    Absolutely zero chance season died early January when we failed to address the summers failings

    And that's where there problems lie.
    Should have thrown the towel in the very good players window instead.

    Real shame we didn’t beat T’Udders. We would have been chasing our 4th straight win v Lincoln and the possibility of climbing back into the top 6.

    If someone had given me 4 points off the playoffs after our last defeat and second half capitulation, I’d have snatched their hands off.
