And there's 3 clubs ahead of us in the taking stakes.
I know. Sad isn't it.
Oh, right! Didn't know it was so simple!!
And to put it another way, Bradford only need 10 points to get to 71. 10 points from 8 games.

That equates to 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. That in itself would be a poor run of form, but would still get them there.
You seriously telling me you think Bradford aren't extremely likely to deliver just 3 wins out of 8? As I say, that would be a poor return, but would still be enough to outdo us for sure, barring a miracle.
Unless of course you are thinking that instead of suddenly conjuring up 5 wins out of 8 we can achieve 6 or 7 out of 8!
Why not all 8 matches! We can surely win them all.
Don't need to over think. Just needs a little bit of rational thought that's all.
We need 3 teams to suddenly stop being on the really good form they have been on and start going on a really bad run of form, while at the same time we do the reverse.
Piece of cake this football malarkey isn't it!
Sarcasm right?
We need to completely turn our form around, not just have a good run of form.
We were crying out for support for Armstrong. We got Henderson, but the bloke was 34 and only ever a throw him on for part of the game player. We got Rose, we got Hunt, we got Cargill and Stephens. We then got Jones and then the Bulgarian.

How many points do you think it will be then? We can't just ignore how many points are needed. TM himself has said 5 wins might possibly be enough. 5 wins, 15 points = 71 points.
It's not an arbitrary figure, it is a well reasoned, rational figure based upon every year of the football league since play-offs were introduced.
Lowest ever total has been 69 points. If it were to be 69 points that is even worse for us, because Bradford would then only need 8 points from 8 games. 2 wins, 2 draws, 4 defeats. A terrible run of form, but they would make it.
We can't just forget about the points needed. It is 99.9% certain to be between 69 points and 76 points. Could be even more.
To get to 71 we need to win 5 games, or win 4, and draw 3, losing just once. We then also need those to fail above us.
To get to 75 we would need to win 6, draw 1 and lose 1.
TM has done the calculations, why should we as fans just ignore that as if it is irrelevant?
How on earth is it perfectly doable?
Know exactly how you feel mate, the journey is so much easier when doing well
Sad thing now is, we could win all 8 games and still not make the play-offs.
