cheat Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 82 points has to be enough for a play off place doesn’t it? Three wins from our last five games (or two wins and three draws) - that’s got to be within our capabilities surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Flip knows, 73 points would have been adequate in the past at game 46 but gets you no better than 7th at game 41/42 I am sure with sides playing each other that would be adequate, whether we are good enough to get there is another thing entirely. MK are on a 15 match unbeaten run Wycombe in real form when it matters Crewe a banana skin given they know their fate Fleetwood will be fighting or down Pompey Hirst Junior yep More pertinent for me is the lack of a killer instinct in our own squad, created in part by the Moore methods. We need to be more ruthless, I would prefer that to be in a positive manner of scoring 2nd goals not employing dark arts shithousery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheat Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 We got nine points from our last five games, 12 from the five before that, and 12 the five before that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also physically: our last week will be tough. I'd swap. True, but I stand by my belief that nine points from our five games should be achievable, and I could easily see Plymouth only getting four from those fixtures. That would see us on the same points, their goal difference is two better than ours at the moment. If we were to win tonight would you still swap?

Steve444 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Only tonight's game and Wycombe should be of any concern really. It will be completely different now I've said that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheat Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 43 minutes ago, Owling_Wolf said: No, I wouldn't now. I'm still feeling chicken about us though. I really hope we've got more players available Tuesday than we did have last night, particularly central defenders. Centre mid is starting to fill out nicely though, subject to Luongo's status. I don’t want to get complacent about Tuesday, but it really should be the game where we can get by with a few absentees. Surely the players we had available last night should be capable of getting a win, especially as they managed to do it against the form team of the division. I wouldn’t be rushing Hutch, Luongo or Dean back if there’s any doubt about them. We’ve enough options at centre half, and last night’s midfield three set up of Byers taking the holding role and Dele-Bashiru and Bannan in the forward roles worked really well. Get those absentees right for the tougher challenge at Wycombe next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I’d not be resting anyone until it is 100% certain that we have made the playoffs. We can rest players for the last game if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl4ever1867 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Dunkley needs a run of games to get him back up & running & into form, we are fast running out of time for him to get that confidence back. Looking at the team vs MK, I'd totally forgotten about Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M42Owl Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 So the question, was “is three wins from five enough for top six?”, is now, “is one win from three enough?” If that win is against Wycombe then yes, it’s job (top six) done. If we draw v Wycombe, only two more points would be needed to stay ahead of them. So 82 points obtained without another win would be enough. A defeat v Wycombe and a win and defeat from the last two and I think we will finish below Wycombe and Sunderland leaving us battling for sixth with Plymouth. I think they’ll win v MK, so we’ll miss out on GD. In this scenario, one win in the final three is not enough. We would need four points from Fleetwood / Portsmouth. Maybe even all six if Wycombe boost their GD and Plymouth get a result at Wigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Dean, Hutch, Storey and Gibson fully fit for the remainder on the season with Palmer as back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Oxford having a sniff again makes some of these games a bit more interesting. Some of the teams battling at the bottom will also make some sweat. Im hoping we don't need anything from the last game play offs wise. However needing a win for autos could mean the place is buzzing, I see Pompey are only getting 2k tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
