I can't tell if Blademan is being serious or not..

Its more dreaming than being serious i do believe we will go on a very good run though there seems to be good vibes around the place at the minute its pretty much certain that chris o grady is signing and hopefully another player too

I think you will go on a good run, and o'grady would be a very good signing. I think top 2 is a bit optimistic though, especially as the current top 3 don't seem to be dropping many points!

The team that goes into the playoffs on the best form/winning run tend to win them though.

Ye it would be a very tough ask we basically need to beat swindon and bristol city in the 2 of our next 3 games and take it from there

 

[Destruction]

Think top two will stay as they are.

Sheff United to beat MK tossers in the playoff final.

 

[JJH]

Hope PNE do it in the Playoffs should they not get Automatic, it's well overdue.

 

[BetterCallSaul]

We've been here longer than them

 

[Indian Dan]

You shouldn't be here at all

 

[hodge]

ouch burn...

 

[BetterCallSaul]

You're right, we should have been promted years ago.

 

[JJH]

We've been here longer than them

PNE have been in the Playoffs 9 times - and never had success once.

This season has to be the one, especially with Garner coming back around that time - (should they not make the automatics)

 

[Bottega Don]

Odd comments by Robins seeing as Swindon arent the best team in the league and havent been yet this season, on a points per game basis. Particularly as he hasnt played them yet.

However others have made similar noises so maybe Swindon are the real deal. Still confident we will go up but all 3 are doing fantastically well to average 2 points per game. Surely unheard of for a team not to be promoted with 92 points?

I'm curious to when he saw Swindon. We haven't played them under Robins and we're not playing them that soon so I doubt he has been scouting them.

Probably on Sky against Cov

 

[Bottega Don]

Probably on Sky against Cov

Completely forgot about that.

To be fair based on one or two games this season Swindon are one of the best teams that I have seen this season, ripped us apart on the first day but we did have Wilcox in charge. Chesterfield are the only side to really impress me since Robins came in.

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

I hate the prospect of dropping down to third place tonight. The pressure would really be on us then. Please please get a result Scunny.

 

[Ciderhead]

We'd still be level on points with a game in hand, don't think they'd be any extra pressure unless we fall a win or two behind. Tbh I still think of us as top, feels like we're still leading rather than doing the chasing

 

[D B Disco]

They always say Points on the Board are better than Games in Hand....well we've got both at the moment, so not worried yet.

 

[TTOCS]

Going into a period of 5 home games out of 7. We certainly need to make the most of these games as our April looks horrendous.

Feb:
Fleetwood H
MK Dons A
Port Vale H
Sheff Utd H
Peterborough H
Colchester A
Rochdale H

Expecting at least 5 wins from that lot, and not much from the bunch below.

April:
Oldham A
Swindon H
Preston A
Bradford A
Coventry H
Chesterfield A

I can barely see 2 wins there.

 

[JonBCFC]

Hopefully Oldham are still struggling for form when we play them. We'll beat swindon like 4-0, beat Coventry then lose the rest. We never win at Bradford.

Erm, what?

 

[JonBCFC]

Erm, what?

Maybe 5-0

 

[This Charming Mike]

Maybe 5-0

Good luck with that.

 

[redjed]

One teams supporters is going to end up with egg on their faces, wonder who it's going to be ? ....

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

Yes because Jon was clearly serious....

April does indeed look a horrible month for us, hopefully we have enough points by then to get over the line.

 

[Indian Dan]

Oh come off it! We all know the top 3 or 4 teams are better than the rest, so unless your fixture pile-up causes you problems, I wouldn't worry too much

 

[Alex_BCFC]

Looking like we will need to play another game though...not helpful.

Need another striker badly.

 

[JJH]

The double is still well and truly on..

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

Just one extra game to distract us now, other than that its full steam ahead for promotion!!

 

[woburn]

3 up away from home currently is doing our chances no harm.

 

[Scumarmy.]

The GD this year is insane. Swindon and City are not far behind either. Might be crucial come the end of the season.
