jmjhb Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Bit mad that Barnsley play 4 games when we don't play any. Should go for a team bonding session in that two weeks we're off. Didn't Big Sam take the squad to Dubai or something Edited February 13, 2023 by jmjhb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny The Ball Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 There are still a lot of twists and turns to come in this run in as the chase hots up particularly amongst the teams chasing 6th place and those trying to avoid the drop We are bound to see some results that go against forecasts Keep an eye on Shrewsbury Town - gone under the radar so far- could shake things up won 6 in a row and are top of the current form table and are now chasing that 6th spot and have to play all the top 6 We just have to keep focused and keeping winning our games l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted February 13, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2023 So we’ll probably go into April with all teams catching our games played. We know our first April game is off (as Plymouth’s v Bristol Rovers could be) so it’ll be us with games in hand by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily as the matches in April are against some of the teams battling relegation so will be fighting for their lives.

Charles is on 17 all comps but think CH has that in the league alone? that cash out on promotion is a tempter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often one of the teams is either already up (Sheff Wed maybe) or guaranteed to finish no higher or lower than play offs (Derby maybe). It can be almost unfair on the others involved that for eg Derby could be playing a team already on the beach, or Sheff W could be playing against a weakened team while they await the play offs. Barnsley v Peterboro is another one that could be a gimme for one of them, just the luck of the draw if one team is no longer needing points.

DomRepWanderer Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Might have been mentioned elsewhere, but why have we got so few games in March? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostock Whites Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Still concerned about Barnsley, we are 6 points ahead but they played 3 games less so we can't ignore them yet. I think we will finish in the top 6 for sure, whether that is 3rd or 6th I couldn't say, very tight. Think the autos are still a bit beyond us, but if go on a run now that we are more than capable of, then you just never know. Still got sheff weds and Ipswich to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EFL fixture list had no midweek games for anyone in March, so everyone only had 4. We brought forward our game v Plymouth in anticipation of it being called off because its an internationals week, reducing our's to 3.

Still got sheff weds and Ipswich to play autos aren't beyond the realms but the games in hand distort my thinking basically, I'm reserving judgement/hope untill end of March when we all have 8 left and the majority of us have played each other those 4 match days off when everyone else is catching up could work in our favour fitness wise, little mini break before the intense push to the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUREADY2ROLL Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Based on the game’s remaining it really looks like the present top two will take the Autos. Plymouth have the easiest run in and unless they go on a really bad run it’s play offs for us. barnsley have a very difficult run in and I can see them missing out and Wycombe or Peterborough sneaking in but a lot of games yet to come and no easy games in this division Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Periods where we don’t play worry me. I don’t think long breaks do the players any good, especially when everyone else is playing and they’re just watching results.I think players like to keep their momentum up and it’s difficult to get back into it once you’ve stopped and it also can affect actual match fitness. I certainly don’t like teams taking sunny breaks because they always seem to lose focus. Hopefully we won’t and in April we can pick up where we’ve left off?

paulhanley Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Just as was the case two years ago it's impossible not to have a crafty glance at the gap between us and the two automatic promotion slots after victories. Given the form of those occupying those positions it's a tough ask. However it is not entirely beyond the bounds of possibility. It feels like two years ago in Div 4 - although then we had three automatic spots to go at. Others have referred to 92/3 as a legitimate comparison. A more plausible aim is to get 3rd or 4th and thus ensure a play off double header with the home leg second. Being at home second is an advantage, not necessarily a huge one but an advantage nonetheless. That run-in seems slightly kinder for us than the others. However the games in hand thing might even that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrycowdrill Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Think Barnsley are too inconsistent to challenge any higher than their current position to be honest. Ipswich current form is patchy at best. If they put a bit of a run together I think they’ll overtake Plymouth (just) so there’s 3 of us jockeying for position between 3rd and 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
