Members Rudy Posted February 25, 2022 Members Share Posted February 25, 2022 Just keep winning. Home and Away. Win Saturday and could be 2 points off 6th if results go our way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I'm already at the "if we'd just .. " stage, looking back at where we dropped points especially those early "we deserved more than we got" matches when we failed to convert good play into goals. Plus the damage done by Gethin Jones' injury in particular. It's an enormous ask & I do feel we'll fall just a bit short. The job then would be to keep the squad together as much ass possible and, of course, add 3 or 4 very influential new ones. Meanwhile ... "course we can, piece of piss, HMS Piss-the-League is leaving port". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnywhite Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Think the two games a week looked like it was taking its toll on Wednesday we looked a little jaded but we got through it . If we get a point on Saturday then good week till the next game squad is getting stronger . Lee back for run in and isgrove no major injuries and we will do it . if we get into the play offs we will be the form team going into it and whoever finishes 3 rd will be on a downer with just missing out on automatic. Our style of play will suit Wembley we will run them ragged whoever we get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 2 points I hadn't considered: @CambridgeBWFC "If we did make it, but lost in semi or final would that have more impact on mentality and players maybe wanting to move on than if we just missed out?" You'd hope it would go the other way and that losing in a big game would improve their mentality having given them experience in a game with so much on the line, but also valid that to get so close and miss out might have some agents pushing their players for a move to a higher level. I think the ownership, management and project of BWFC is appealing though and would help keep the key men on board. But maybe we wouldn't mind cashing in, to help us be sustainable. and @Farnywhite "Our style of play will suit Wembley we will run them ragged whoever we get." Would never want to take it as a given that we would win the final should we get there, but do agree the Wembley pitch would suit us more than most teams.

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted February 25, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2022 Whatever happens though, we've got to remember for the first half of the season we didn't have seven or eight players who could weigh in with important goals and assists. Now everyone is feeling that they are good enough to chip in. Now, with half the season gone, and with festive blips against Accy, Hartlepools and Rotherham (narrow defeats that could have gone either way) behind us we're doing great. I can't help feeling though, the damage was done at the time of Sarcegate against Plymouth, the Pie Men and Wednesday when we were in a bit of a turmoil and confidence was lower than a snakes belly.

Big E Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I would love a trip to Wembley and Promotion however i think we will fall just short. My big fear is people thinking our players are decent and coming and ripping us apart. If we can build on this it will be one hell of a ride next season and hopefully we will be ready for a chance to stay up in the Championship. This is a great time again to support BWFC and enjoy it folks. We deserve some entertainment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noxid Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Wow, so many doubters on here. Hope the players don't have the same mentality. 12 games left to make up only 6 pts. Teams above still to play each other. Why the hell not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted February 25, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hold on, I'm neither a doubter nor a dosser, but I know that if we can have a good run, others can as well. And it only takes a shit result or two, or suspension or injury and suddenly we're out of it, and despondent as fuck. It's tighter than a nun's chuff at the top. We've been clocking points up L-R and C and still 9/10th. And I'm still grateful to have this 130 odd year old club still going, after the last few years. I can wait another season in the shade before we get back into the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 It's irrelevant how many points behind you are, it's how places off you are, surely? And before the "smart" kids pipe up, I know they go hand in hand to an extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted February 25, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2022 Exactly . We've been 9/10 for seemingly weeks now despite win after win after draw, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, 5 off the play offs with 12 to go, anyone would fancy that if they been hovering round the lower end of the league for a while The hard work that was doubtful was getting into a position like this in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me You could get several teams on the same amount of points And it's points that are up for grabs each game, not places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Players need to have that winning mentality and ambition but balance that by following the old cliché of one game at a time. Fans, can believe or not, doesn't really make much difference - whether they think we won't make it because they're genuinely being realistic or because they don't want to get their hopes up and be disappointed. Both fair reasons. Personally, I think it's written in the stars that we make the playoffs but I'm prepared to have that dream crushed. Will be disappointing if it doesn't work out but plenty of positives to fall back on and look forward to next season, whichever division we're in.

Campos_Wig Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 From a purely selfish point of view I hope we go up, Sky Bet will owe me £3500 if we get promoted via the playoffs. With the momentum we have, I thinks theres a good chance we could pull it off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we can keep team together. Plus be great to watch us batter teams all year, rather than struggle in championship. But saying that if we do make playoffs this team will be tough to beat. Good position to be in COYWM. No ta. Promotion this season for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 There's a difference between taking a cold, hard look at the situation & think "no, it's probably to big an ask" and then saying if that happens it's hardly terminal and positively not wanting it. We'll all take it if we can. But if we can't we pat everyone on the back, lift our chins up and do it next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted February 25, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2022 My rationale of thinking we’ll fall short - we are 2 games behind 6th spot with only 12 games to go. 1 shit result coupled with a good result for one of the teams with 2 in hand leaves us 3 games away with only 11 to play. id love to be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the best season ever to get promoted. As hard as the championship is, I think we'd have enough to stop up without the help of others. Wigan on the other hand...hopefully they don't stay up thanks to points deductions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
