And do not see us having the bottle to get anywhere near in the play- offs. Slag me off if you like, but I do not think I will be the only one harbouring these thoughts.
The automatics are not even a remote possibility at the moment. And I just can't envisage we have what it takes to beat any of the play off contenders over two legs.
Chalk f cuk on it now and regroup in the summer. Never start a season with a player with one year left on their contract ever again. Masters of our own downfall. Cadden, Cole, Williams and Kane should have gone with Duff and when you get a guy with a young family to cross the Atlantic back him FFS. Feel for Collins being hung out to dry by a totally inept board. Time the ******* Cryne's went too.

I don’t honestly think automatic promotion was realistic. We have failed to emulate our away performances at home and home form is vital. In what is a very poor league for many a year, we’ve huffed and puffed of late, making hard work of teams near the wrong end of the table. Our play is too slow & predictable, whilst lacking the cutting edge up top to convert chances. Think we’ll make the playoffs (just) but I’m not optimistic about our chances. There are other teams with much more momentum than us, Lincoln being a prime example. Sure there’s bound to be a few twists and turns yet, but I don’t reckon it’ll be our year unfortunately.
Strangely it's the fact we have more away games left than home that might save us.. as we all kno were better away.
Not much chance of that... a 7 point gap, a game in hand, both Oxford & Stevenage in worse form than we are... they also have to play each other and Oxford have to play both Lincoln and Peterborough.
Letting Bolton come back from 2-0 down for me.. we'll should be looking over our shoulder just outside the play offs now if anything.. The way we're playing dropping out the top six isn't unthinkable
Thankfully, 5 of our last 7 games are away from Oakwell so we might just get enough points to stay in the playoff positions.
Its league one for the long term forseeable future. The board will only take on unknown managers and ony go for bargain basement players. Any player that rises to beyond average standard will be sold off. Its been going that way for ages now
