Am I right in thinking that we haven't beaten any of the top five teams? Even if some of those performances were good, we still came up short in the statistic that matters:
Lincoln - lost both
FGR - drew one lost one
D&R - drew one lost one
Aldershot - lost one
Strange that we are easily in second place given that record -also sets aside the myth from some that we struggle against lesser sides - the 85 points has come from fantastic consistency against side outside the top 7.
One positive heading into the playoffs is that because we haven't beaten any of those sides, at least there won't be any overconfidence or getting caught off guard - maybe that will actually work in our favor since we know our general performance level is easily better than those teams when we really work for it - just got to take those clear cut chances by the sounds of it!

If we play FGR in the playoffs,I would be very surprised if we lost to them again based on tonights performance.Marsh-Brown has apparently been frozen out by their manager so may not play for them again.

As I said we will not win the play offs and it will be lost on the home leg and if it comes to penalties we are well out of it .i fancy Aldershot to win the play offs I have said this for 6 months and not changing my mind ,injuries have really cost us and the host of missed chances .how many times have we heard the comment we should have been 2/3 goals up at half time .8missed penalties it all adds up to dropped points .and I fancy Aldershot to win on Friday we will win at Guisley and beat southport and draw at Maidstone

If Maynard is fit then he has to go straight into that 11. Only midfielder left with a bit of bite, Wallace and Hughes far too pedestrian to impact the game. Might be worth resting players like vaughan and rides and jennings, cant afford to pick up any more injuries for the play offs
Quote:Viking Tranmere
Since we are play-off bound with 4 games remaining, worth Micky looking at different formations.
Cook-Cole partnership for one. Maynard instead of Hughes another, and also trying to see if Collins can fit in.

Hold on, we still have a chance of winning the league. We should be striving to win all of our remaining games and hope Lincoln slip up.

Does anyone know the dates of the semi's, if we were involved? Have they been announced yet?
Quote:smithy43
Looking at it on reflection, the max we can finish on is 97 points.
For us to go up, Lincoln need 9 points or fewer and we must win every game and claw back the GD (again).
Lincoln could easily get just 1 point against Torquay, a side in need of points and Lincoln have shown signs of being complacent in the past
We beat Aldershot then its game on for the Heed for the playoffs, that could be a game Lincoln lose on Monday
The same with Macc Town; not a bad outfit so again a draw is plausible
Maidstone's home form and the plastic pitch means no guaranteed win also (I know we have to go there)
Fully expect them to trounce Southport, the same as us.
Admittedly Lincoln will probably win at least 2, but 3 draws are easily possible
Not sure if this is just wishful thinking, but it aint over just yet. Their main striker Angol is out injured and their centre mid is on a 3 game ban, so don't give up just yet whites. SWA

If Lincoln do not lose on Saturday, they are viritually assured of being champions. Sure, miracles do happen but with the superior goal difference...
Still, I am positive about getting to Wembley.
