    The grim reality which I couldn't have imagined up until now.
    What then?

    Collins sacked, get a replacement in at the back end of July. Sign a couple of players from the National League and hope they ‘stick’.

    Get a couple of loans in and hope they ‘stick’.

    The exact same as this season, and it’ll be the same the season after as we never learn from mistakes.

    Honestly think his position would be untenable if we fall out of playoffs

    Think it could be more unthinkable that we could also finish 5th.

    Don’t think he’ll go anywhere if we finish in the playoffs unless we get absolutely hammered in them (which could happen) might be wrong but i think the new board will be reluctant to go down the new manager route

    I tend to agree with this. If we balls it up on Saturday though, he absolutely has to go for me, and I would expect to see it confirmed immediately after the match. I would already have the statement written.

    I expect our Chairman to be there just in case we don't make the play offs, ready for the firing.

    We could also lose and still finish 5th :D

    225-1 for all 4 teams to lose.

    i think we'll be in the playoffs

    Tbh it was where a lot of us thought we'd finish from day one.. in fact it was more surprising that we got anywhere near top two..

    I think it will very much depend on whether we manage an early goal (or concede one…)

    It's almost the norm now. Spend all season listening to how we were behind after pre season.
