my fear tooI think we will make the top 7, but think we may well fail in the play-offs.
Agree on that.No not the way we are playing at the moment.
Think we will make the play offs but don' think we are in the right place to win them.
Saying that lets win the last 5 games and then it might be a yes.
A bit like above; however - a 2 leg play off is with another 5 games under our belt, and things can change a lot in that time - for us as a team, and for the opposition (injuries, form etc. ) Get to Wembley and we'll have more fans there than anyone we face - and anything is possible when we play there (as we already know!)
Agree on that.
My reasoning we may fail is as follows:
1. Two keepers both capable of horrendous errors and both have indeed cost us matches and points.
2. Have difficulty in breaking down teams who are set on resolute defence, whilst catching us on the break.
3. Lack of pace
4. Lack of goals throughout the team.
5. The defence that was once solid is now shipping in goals and there are costly errors in nearly every game.
As you say though, win the next 5 and we would obviously be absolutely flying.
I do get the feeling though that we might just only scrape into the play-offs.
Would love for them to prove me wrong.
Yes, so true. Said on another thread, all it takes is a dodgy pen, or wicked deflection, or a sending off or a bad backpass and you can be ousted from the playoffs in an instant.You forgot the poor officials we generally get in charge.

Top 7 yes, just tho in true ccfc style... however the lottery that is the play offs I don’t fancy us to win it.

not about fearing othersjeez we are a confident bunch aren’t we.
Do we think Exeter, Notts, Lincoln or whoever else makes it, we fear them over two legs?
Where you finish in the play off places has no bearing on promotion. Important thing is going into it with a bit of form.
Yes there’s 2 of us! Afraid we may be in the minority on this forum.Ok - pushy !!!
Yes xx
Yup.not about fearing others
its about nothing but failure as a cov fan
EXCEPT checkatrade final which was such an amazing memory,only thing that makes me think we can indeed change our luck permanently
we can get promoted for sure. i am just not sure if we will.
DreamerI think we will lift the league 2 play off trophy in front of 45,000 delirious fans in the blazing sunshine of Wembley
Get in the pubs after and get absolutely fucking shitfaced belting out "twist and shout" 300 times in a row.
PUSB
now whos being negative?Dreamer
No way,you say lottery, if we make top 7 imo we would have been lucky. Ie not how good we are but how crap the rest are. Surely we would be all confident no? What lottery play well, hope for a bit of luck and with our large backings surely we should be confident.
Would the play offs not be premier league quality refs?
Yup.
If we get a decent ref and no-one drops a clanger, then yes, we have a decent chance, but I can foresee a big home play-off leg, with 25,000+ there and then a Burge or LOB howler gifts a 1-0 lead and the opponent's just sit back on that and bag the victory.
When we go a goal down we struggle. Score first and we usually win.
Every player needs to be on their game and there needs to be no stupid backpasses or dropped crosses. Boot everything into the stands for the defenders and punch anything you are unsure you can catch for the keeper.
Sod it!! City to go up.now whos being negative?
thats the spirit!Sod it!! City to go up.
Vincenti to score a hat-trick, another two from Beavon, towering header from DKE and Barrett to block 4 goal bound shots simply by just standing on the goalline.
It's a no from me. I think we'll make play offs but will fail to make the final. We'll choke in front of a big home crowd and leave ourselves too much to do away from home (bit like the Crewe opt really)!

kyel reid injury time winner at wembley
just for the pro mowbray trolling opportunities lol
Like they say - it's the hope that kills you. We are so used to trying to keep the hope in check that we tend to be more negative that we would like.
So I have to say No, but please let it happen.
How many times have the team in 7th been promoted via the playoffs?
You know I just thought that after posting.. I’m sure the FA role out a better ref.
I’m confident of the top 7 finish and think that’s lucky given the injuries to JJ alone without Andreu being added.
The playoffs themselves I’ve no confidence of us winning over 2 legs. I don’t think we’ve the right fans and correct mindset to back the boys in a winner takes all scenario.
Imagine we go to Notts county say and get a draw, we’d be happy with that then Notts County come here in front of a big crowd and sky cameras.
1) we don’t do big games with big crowds at the Ricoh.
2) were a toxic bunch at times that’s been starved of any domestic success, go a goal down and fans will turn horrendously, all players will be shit, shouts of sort it out Robins. Support for the players in a pressure cooker scenario will fade rapidly.
