Let's hope.

To be quite honest, I was going to predict a defeat tomorrow as Scunthorpe are fighting for their lives, but the new manager syndrome might just pay off for us.

Looking at their current home form and they have won 4 out of the last 5 home games. :facepalm:

We need the new manager syndrome to kick in for sure.

Makes no difference at this point - we'll be in L1 next season. But it's good that Pressley has a couple of months to familiarise himself with the club, allowing him to make well-informed decisions in the summer.

of coursde it makes a difference

we have 10 games left-if we win all 10 we are in playoffs

if we win 9 we are in playoffs

if we win 7 or 8 we could be in playoffs

plenty to play for yet

Even if we won all 10 it would be touch-and-go whether we made the playoffs. Let it go - not happening. The writing was on the wall weeks ago.

Scunthorpe, Colchester, Hartlepool and Portsmouth. Have to believe that we can get 10 points from these. Then its game on.

We've won 3 on the bounce away and in the last 6 games (home for Scunny, away for us) have been even: 4 - 1 - 1 we've got to be considered favourites.

I do believe we are looking at the odds, but it was close.

Quite often these are the sorts of teams you don't want to be playing at this stage of the season. A lot of the teams down there are now starting to win games and have an improvement in form.

On current form, Hartlepool are 4th, Colchester 7th and Scunthorpe 11th.

Not sure why you feel the need to make it personal. The data is quite clear, just as it was about our impending relegation last season when many were saying "we can do it!"

True, but after all, there's a reason they are down where they are, I think we should be aiming for 4 wins in our next 4, but of course it won't happen (we'll draw a game ).

Hartlepool were top of he form table before Donny had their way with them.

Time to move up a gear or two!

Hope you didn't tax your brain too long before coming up with that zinger.

Well that is indeed true.

Do get a feeling though we could well be seeing threads on here in the weeks to come such as ...

'If we win all our 6 remaining games and Tranmere lose all 6 of theirs, we could still just get into the play-offs on goal difference!'

while I do think we will miss the play offs this season now - I cant agree with the comment 'the writing was on the wall weeks ago'.

no it wasnt. weve missed a great opportunity in a couple of home games over the last three weeks to really put ourselves in the play offs already. I dont want to dismiss that as 'writing on the wall' I would call that ' not performing at home'.

All 10 we'd be comfortably into the play offs.

Posts I wrote four weeks ago and three weeks ago explaining why the writing was on the wall.

It is a mistake to isolate any single game and say we missed an opportunity. Much firmer stats can be pulled from across the season looking at how we perform, how others perform, how history has panned out, and what our chances are after all that is crunched together. It was those first eight games under Thorn & Shaw that knackered our season, not losing to Swindon.

Likely by a couple of points - if we win 10 out of 10.

I would say all 5 under Shaw and one under Thorn

A draw away to Yeovil first game if the season
And a draw at home to Sheff Utd are reasonable results.

A draw to Bury at home is poor.

Your continual defence of Thorn has to be done for only 1 of 2 reasons;

- It is a curious wind up game
- You are clueless regarding football managers

Thorn is almost certainly one of the worst managers in football history. He will never be employed again so why do you bother?

Winning the remaining 9 would put us on 83 points and at least 6 points clear of 6th place!

That bury game still haunts me! Should have been 4 or 5 up at half time! Those 2 points dropped would come in very handy now! And that's without even thinking about the other 29 odd points we've dropped after taking the lead! Ggrrr!

What have you been taking? 83 points will leave us at about 7 points clear of 7th.

Dont agree if we win all ten we will get
automatic as all the teams have to play each other and the teams above us ar all inconsistant.

I'd make a case against it, but it is all a moot point. All the hypothetical toing and froing over the most unlikely of hypothetical scenarios is bonkers. CCFC won't win 10 games in a row.

We had only won 2 games by then. This is somewhat different.

I'd wager that we win every remaining away game and not win again at home.

They don't need to and that is the point. 6 could well be enough for 6th.

The next 3 games are huge. Win them all and the play offs will look probable more than possible.

that would be 4 wins in a row ?

Any ideas last time CCFC did that ?
