The other day Rudy said we were 250-1 to win the league.

I put £10 on at 150-1.

Decent odds for a team on a roll.

It did, dropped us from 18% to 8%

We went from 4/1 to 8/1. 
 

Not just our result but Cheltenham and Cambridge both winning. 

A win today, and the fact that Tranmere play Cambridge is a big bonus.

Prefer a draw there. 

Yes

Simple as that

I agree, I don't think we'll be Champions, probably a bit too much to do for that, but I don't see why we can't grab that third place

Just need to improve our finishing, like

Win the next two and all of a sudden we’re back in the frame for champions.

Results elsewhere went our way again. Back on the horse with the next two and all will be well. 

Probably

while I’ll be disappointed if we don’t win today, I won’t be coming on here calling out the players, IE, and their decision-making inconsistencies, if things don’t go to plan.

I would still believe that any result today would still leave us in a position for promotion.

My opinion from this morning, even after a defeat, hasn’t changed, we are going up.

It’s doubtful now; lose again Saturday and I think we will blow it. Win and it’s a chance

Still have every faith. Not even arsed we lost today. Had to lose somewhere and now is the right time to do it.

I think Maddison needs a couple of starts.

Maddison to score the goal that gets us in the top 3.

Agreed. 

Programme for the week... train, work hard, focus and win on Saturday

Unlucky today, can't win 'em all, we're still going up.

Still believe that we’re going straight up but Salford away could be a defining moment.....

We are going up via the play-offs for me, so long as we avoid injuries. 

Automatic would probably involve winning 3 out of the 4 away games and i just cannot see it.  

 

I wouldn’t fancy us in play offs

Especially if it involves them scruffy rat cunts from Birkenhead. 

I just can’t see anyone gathering enough form to stop us going up automatic, everyone is all over the place. 

Getting Sarcs back anytime soon would tip the balance for me. No coincidence him being missing has lead to a dip in form/creativity.

Me too, really showed we missed him recently.

I'm also concerned with out ability to break teams down at home who just come and sit deep and let us have the ball. Will be a good test against Harrogate as I'm sure they'll do similar to Colchester.

Sarc will definitely help with this.

I agree, as long as we bounce back on Saturday, then our confidence will return. Our confidence and quality should be enough to see us over the line for promotion.

And while, undoubtedly I’d love to see Sarce back, I think we can also do it without him. I think if you gave Lee those 2 chances again, 99/100 he’s knocking those into the back of the net.

As at @Mounts Kipper mentioned yesterday, I heard everything I wanted to hear from our manager and coach/keeper.

The tone of IE and MG interviews after today’s defeat were very balanced, calm & rational, no panic, exactly what we need going into the final 7 games.

Its reactions like that, not hysterical over-reactions, that will compose these players, get them refocused and back on track to promotion. 

Sadly I think that its going to be the lottery of the play offs. The loss of Sarc has been a critical blow, lack of goals could be our downfall.

I fucking hated writing that.

We've lost 2 in 16, it's the proverbial dust down and go again moment.

Defeat might be that last kick up the arse they need. We are going up.

Before the weekend we were one of 6 team chasing 3 spots. I think we are one of 4 teams chasing 1 spot. Cheltenham and Cambridge have consolidated their spots and we have fallen back into pack. 

We will finish 2nd on goal difference 

Mrs Dimron pointed out last night that none of the top nine teams have won their last match with the exception of Newport, after a scan of the tables there were a lot of draws throughout so in my opinion automatic promotion is definitely still on but we must beat Harrogate.
