Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 2, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2022 21 points. Not enough for direct promotion. Wigan and Rotherham too far ahead I reckon. Interestingly, before the end, we have to play the bottom 4 away, and play some of the tougher games (on paper) at home. We've also finished against Rotherham, Sunderland, Wycombe which is no bad thing. Plymouth have fallen away a little too, so there are no games that should be too daunting. Wigan will be tough of course, but it's a Derby so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't envisage anything worse than getting knocked out by those cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye doyle Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 We need 13 wins from 18 now to guarantee the playoffs We'll make the playoffs and we will be the form team going into the playoffs. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be awful but on the flip side, imagine we knocked them out, perfect revenge. Can't see it happening anyway, they'll go up automatically for sure.

He's right you know. Everyone else bang average so I reckon you'll get play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I think we've maybe left it a little bit late, I see us being 2/3 points adrift of the play-offs sadly - next season though we'll be out of the traps faster than a greased whippet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Rotherham are head and shoulders above. Wigan not sure. Maybe I'm just bias but... https://footystats.org/england/efl-league-one/xg ..according to these stats Rotherham have the best xG and the best xGA(expected goals against) in the league. Wigan have the second best xGA to be fair but are 10th for xG, one place below us funnily enough. They've also had a lot of stuffy last minute winners. Not saying they don't deserve to be up there, obviously they have a good team but I think the table may flatter them slightly. Obviously can't just boil everything down to xG and xGA I appreciate that. Fuck em though I'm taking whatever I can 😀 Edited February 2, 2022 by Mantra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Cherry Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 think we can win all them but Oxford & MK away draw. Will that be enough of a platform for play offs? I. backing us to make play offs and meet sunderland again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Sorry to bring us back down to earth but would happily take us staying up this season. Yeah I can be negative but I think fans are getting a bit over excited after a few good wins. Focus on games individually like Mr Evatt does. mutley x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 3, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2022 Given our investment in players, improvements and ambition, just staying up from this point would be a big disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Minimum expectation from me now is to at least challenge the playoffs. If we fall short it’s understandable but we should be trying to push for top 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 We have a very fresh squad and we have players on the bench who we can bring on to rest the starters, the key games are the ones against the teams in the top 8 we must win as many of these games as possible we have Oxford, MK, Wigan, Sheff Wed, Plymouth, these games will play a massive part on where we end up, its a tall order think we have left to much to do... but worth a punt at the 100/1 I got on promotion.
