From now until seasons end surely? Yes it's been desperate today and last 12 games but we are in play offs on merit. What's gone has gone. Who wouldn't have snapped your hand off for this last August. 3 games for promotion. Fans of Hudds, Lincoln, Blackpool drowning sorrows tonight with zero chance of championship footy next season. Got to be in it to win it. Further down the pyramid Bradford, Barrow, Barnet, Scunny all seen their seasons end with a whimper today. See we are 5/1 on most betting sites - worth a cheeky £5 of anyones money. Stranger things have happened. You reds.
Just need to fluke 3 games at most. Might only be two if, just like Harry Bassett's play-off team, we do the business in the first semi-final leg.
We're definitely the rank outsiders in the Play Offs, so there's no pressure on us. I just wish I could attend. All the best to those who do.
Bolton 7/4 Peterborough 2/1 Oxford 9/2 Barnsley 5/1 Oxford looks to be the value bet of those prices, to me.
This is what I mean though. Forget previous 46 games. Forget form. Forget the 12 points they finished above us. It's irrelevant. As of now, on paper every team is equal. Yes it's a long shot, no I don't think we will do it but another 5 days of naval gazing, reflecting on past 2 months will achieve nothing. Look at McAtees post on X tonight asking for everyone to come together this week. It's exactly what we need. When players come back in Monday got to be feeling they are supported and have a chance. And let's be honest, 2 of 2024s better performances came against Bolton. In the relative context of where we are as a club today is a good day to be a red. Shame some don't seem to be able to see it that way.
