Don’t worry mate, if they don’t we’ll use our Euromillions to do it

Stop it !!

That reminds me

I don't think so. I still think we'll finish anywhere between 11th - 16th.
Would love it if we could though....

Up the port been drinking again,too inconsistent to get promotion.

Only 5 points off automatic promotion. A good loan window and who knows? Especially if we put a run together.

No sobber as a judge at the moment

We are picking up points of games we are not playing well which is a good sign

To early to tell, the makings of a promotion winning side is there, maybe a player or to needed.

I know it's HIGHLY unlikely, but, it's December and we're 14pts ahead of relegation.... Just remember, In March 2017 Leyton Orient were 15pts ahead of relegation......

Dropping too many stupid points. Barnet and Carlisle most recently. But as UTP says picking up points on the road unexpectedly. Wembley play off anyone?

I do not understand this, do you mean Hartlepool ?

Astonishing to think we are just 4 wins and 2 draws away from last seasons total. I think it will be at least 50 points to guarantee survival this season though

It depends what you mean by back, it might be dependent on the Leeds result. I would imagine we need to ship players out before we can sign anymore.

I think you may well be right, this league is tight from top to bottom and anyone can beat anyone with the possible exception of the top few.

We're maybe play-off contenders, but we do need to stop losing games from a leading position. Those three points against Cambridge were huge, just like the win at Swindon. They keep us in the hunt. Take away those 6, + the 2 dropped against Carlisle and that's 8 points......take those 8 pts off our current total and see where we are then, so we've done very well to stay in touch with play-offs.
Challenging for promotion automatically would need us to find another gear, another level that I'm not sure we have.

I stand by my hope of finishing "something like 12th, on something like 66 pts"........that'll do me!

I'll tell you what we ARE doing though..... we're laying down one hell of a foundation for NEXT year!
