Playoffs

Playoffs

Anything is possible but I would take staying up and finishing high as possible this season
There has been improvement but still a lot to fix here. Some good performances and wins there will be enough this season can see improvement coming from Hecky & his team. Let's just see how we do in these next few months. But there are better sides than PNE who no doubt be in the mix anyway. This season is about getting higher up table as possible.

If Rl Was still here we would defo be going down or within a chance of.

It’s doable but we don’t have a big enough squad…atm we only have 1 playable striker with Keane and milly out…we have no proper left back cover as Brady don’t last a full match and no doubt Hughes will be out eventually and in central defence we only have whatmough available…as for Jan signings I just don’t see it happening unless we get rid of someone
 
Not sure top 6 is doable, but from what I've seen so far....Leeds look decent so do Sunderland, but have a very young squad. Apart from that I personally think it's one of the poorest championships, quality wise, for quite a while.
 
We just don’t have the squad depth for a consistent play off challenge. Attacking midfield wise/central midfield we have loads of decent options but lack depth a lot up front and in defence. Two/three injuries and we will be scrapping the barrel.

Next season who knows. There has definitely been an improvement.

If we can be within a single figure number of points of the play-off positions come the January 'window' and PH is allowed if he sees fit to make a couple of acquisitions then the play-offs are possible.

The squad definitely requires 4 good additions - a goalie, at least 2 backs, and a striker, to create a PO - enabled squad.
Somehow with Rodsdale's spending, I don't think it will happen in this Christmas window.

Just over 1 week ago after being absolutely trounced by a shite Milwall side this place was self imploding, now it's play offs. It's absolutely batshit this forum I fucking love it 🤣.

We as football fans should all the reserve the right to make outrageous claims around recent results and to change our minds regularly.

What?

7 Points off with 37 games to go?

111 Points up for grabs.

Of course it is doable. The improvement in the coaching is there for all to see. Undefeated at home with no goals conceded under PH and SM.

No one is running away early with this league this season.

Anything can - and will - happen in this crazy league.

All I am saying is - don't rule anything out.

Bloody ell mate thought I was an optimist.
All depends on the Jan window if we can nick 6th.

Well that’s footy fans for you!

But as I put in my last post, the Millwall game was an outlier compared to the other five Sept/Oct fixtures - so perhaps it’s actually batshit to place too much significance on that one game!

Part and parcel of being a football supporter is the option to become optimistic to the point of delusional after a couple of good results and the complete opposite after a couple of bad ones.
As far as we are concerned the team is definitely moving in the right direction after a much needed change.
 
If the improvement continues we might finish half way up.

Our owners will start panicking if anything above that starts to look possible as they simply would not be prepared to invest the multi millions necessary to recruit all the new players necessary for a journey into the Prem League.

Equally the fat controller will do everything necessary to prevent the club moving up as he would lose his hobby position as a member of the EFL committee.

Until we have new owners and get rid of the Riddler promotion will remain a pipe dream.

Having it said all that the quality of entertainment has gone through the roof since we had our Lowe moments ended and our new management team got a grip of the situation.
