    I like his optimism but i cant see either Hull or Peterborough blowing it now. Seeing our results will have given them both a big boost to get over the finishing line now we have been cut adrift.
    Theyve both had their bad patches, we're having ours now at the worst time possible.

    True I'm afraid, we blew our chance, best hope now is playoffs, if we **** that up then we didn't deserve promotion, simple as. As I've said before, we need to treat the playoff as a bonus, not a chore. A small knockout competition if you like, and go for it.

    I think it makes sense now to concentrate on the play-offs and not fear them, 6 games left and the big question for me is should we stick with Wyke. I dont think this has even crossed the managers mind and its possibly too late to do anything about it now anyway, but one goal in the last six games does not bode well, and when he doesn't score his trademark one touch finish, i think we are playing with ten men.

    Hes got to say that and to be fair I hope they do actually believe it.

    But I'm chilled now in thought of playoffs. If automatic happens by some bizarre lining up of the planets then that's an unexpected bonus.

    I wish my GP could prescribe me some of whatever Wright is being given by the club medic!

    Until the maths says different, we're in with a chance. Admittedly, I'd say it's more of an outside chance than I did two games ago but still a chance. Have to win at Blackpool though, massive game. Can't wait, love matches like this.

    I've never thought we would get automatic and always had a feeling we would win play offs this season.
    The pizza cup win was just stage 1 in the plan. Get Wembley curse done with ready for play off final.

    Exactly. We are where we are Automatic is very much less likely but still not impossible. We need to pick our selves up and win the last few games get some confidence back and If it is to be the playoffs we need to hit them on the up Saying that massive game on Saturday with hull and Blackpool again coming up a complete tailspin is entirely possible

    Even if our form totally fell off a cliff for the next few games, we'd still make the play offs so still be in with a chance of going up. Never over till it's over to me, bollocks to trying to predict the future and crying we've ****ed it. Rather hope we can still do it, I'll just ride that wave of disappointment if it does turn to **** for getting in the top two.

    There’ll be 5,000 of us lot there. I don’t envy them for deciding how to go about it. Got to go on people who renewed for the 20/21 season and their loyalty points?
