Automatic Promotion?

Why not? Only 9 points off top. Aim for the stars....

Looks as though 80 points could take you up still mean we would need to win 11/12 of our 15 games highly unlikely. But not impossible

Nothing is impossible, but considering we have won 11 from 31 games, highly unlikely we can win 11 of our next 15 games. Worth a bet for anyone who thinks we have a chance. Can get over 200/1 on us finishing in top two.

Mad that there’s talk of automatic on this forum when we haven’t even broken past the playoff barrier yet and highly unlikely to if not for two wins in the next two games.

Simple answer is not a chance! :roll:

Sadly, we don't have a strike force consistent enough to propel us to promotion and are relying too much on individual goals from around the team. But the team are resilient; hence the high number of draws

I think Albert Adomah will make a positive difference, if he plays as he did on the weekend, so the Play-Offs should be our ambition this season and we'd have to be happy with that, surely? :D

No. If we miss auto promo then play offs sadly a poor substitute

I would be delighted and astonished if we reach the play offs Sven. Sadly, I still believe a top ten finish will be as good as it gets for us, but as long as we are in striking distance, it keeps the season interesting, at least for the time being. :bluescarf:

Playoffs would be a highly successful season regardless of the subsequent outcome.

If we make the play offs then Harris would have hit his target. I don't see us pushing top 2.

Before saturdays win against Luton I said we will soon NOT be talking about a play off spot. Well I still feel that way. A one nil win against the bottom club is not enough to change my mind. Win our next 3 games against these low place teams then I will say we are in with a chance. As far an an automatic place well that right out of the book of "Living in Cloud Cookcoo land" by Vince Alm.

Foghorn, I'm with you as long as it's not mathematically impossible, why not? Shame NH hadn't taken the reins a few games earlier. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: who knows?
