We Will Make The Play Offs

[edna krabappel]

Be fair, Edna. We've just played like a promotion chasing team and already Millwall need a minimum of 3 games to overhaul us. Sure it's not over but equally it's perfectly plausible that we will be 10 points clear of trouble in a couple of games time.

Weren't we in a similar position after the Charlton & Fulham wins? When we thought the only way was up?

Yes and that was premature - we didn't have Kayal and Stephens utterly running the midfield, and we had half the competition up front. (COG considering moving on, CMS injured)


Edit: Although I will say that March worries the hell out of me:

Brighton V Derby
Reading V Brighton
Brighton V Wolves
Millwall V Brighton
Blackburn V Brighton

That's why he's worried, going to drop 2 points in there somewhere...

Of course we won't make the play-offs but I can see us going on a nice little run from here on in, as things are clicking into place on the pitch. We'll probably still ship some crazy goals and miss sitters and drop points needlessly, but we're looking - finally - like a team that can actually play.

First priority is clearly to avoid relegation but a respectable mid-table finish isn't beyond us and would set us up nicely for next season (and make us more appealing to new signings).

This thread sums up NSC, after our initial period when Sami left with wins against Fulham, Brentford, Charlton some on here were predicting playoffs, a couple of weeks afterwards it was doom and gloom 'where are the points going to come from' now after two wins it's back to this again . We have some very tough home games coming up with 5 of the top 8 still to play so I'll be pleased if/when we hit 50 points.

People go through those sort of emotions and predictions DURING a game, let alone between matches

In answer to the OP - mid-table. Play-offs is a few steps too far.

Mathematically we can't make the play offs because there are too many teams above us would all have to lose too many points and when they play against each other they cant all lose. So although it looks like it could be possible. it more than likely is not possible for us to make the play offs this year

9th place (I think we are about 5-7 points away) should be the ultimate, and realistic, aim.

We'd all be very encouraged by that- as would Mr Barber's season ticket sales figures.

I'm sure some smart arse will work it out and prove you wrong. (Not me though)
