Weve dropped 4 points in the last 2 games and yet we still remain only 3 points behind after this round of games.

The next 2 games are massive and dare i say 6 points is essential.

This league is so even, the draws prove it,even if we do not get six points, we could still be in the mix, but six points would be great.🙂
 
It is better to the chaser than being chased.

Bristol City will be getting very nervous. It is interesting that in recent weeks they have played after us every match and had indentical results, their form since the league cup run has been very poor compared to the previous six months. They will blow it... it is just a case if we can be the ones to replace them.

Very one dimensional manager. When the going gets slightly tough, LJ doesn’t know what to do.
 
I'm still confident we can sneak in...but if we don't I think we are only a battling midfielder and a 20 goal a season poacher away from being automatic challengers. I think Maguire can be that poacher next season and Leadson or another for the midfielder. Add to that Harrop with a season of Adult football and added experience for the rest we stand a good chance.

If we don't make it this year I'll be backing us for the automatics next year.
 
Regretfully and I DO mean Regretfully my answer has to be NO---WHY?—because our past history suggest whenever we do get the chance (Div1 playoff excepted, we ‘blow it’---This is especially true in reaching for the Premiership, the Club always lacks that crucial ambition to get there---Under Moyes and Davies we had that chance and the Board refused to back them, and surprise surprise (Are you reading this JOAN) Both Managers left to pursue their ambitions elsewhere, the same could be said for Grayson (although in his case definitely the wrong option)--- I am willing to bet (again sorry JOAN) Alex Neil will be the next one--At the moment we are crying out for an experienced (at this level) striker---I mentioned earlier in the season MITROVIC at Newcastle, some posters said we couldn’t afford his wages, well Fulham a Club similar to us CAN,and he is scoring goals for them and they are in direct completion for a playoff place---Don’t be surprised in two weeks time it happens here, he has form and he’s a typical striker that you need it THIS division---So sorry fellow posters until we have am Owner willing to back properly his ‘So called’ ambitions, Championship football is what it’s going to be---I hope I am proven wrong and if so you can quote all this back to me at the time if so.

Dood................... We've all been there and still wear all the scars and the tee shirt...... The past is the past and if you surrender now based on that logic then don't you be expecting the team and Management to do otherwise....😉

Fulham are owned by a billionaire and also play in London, until relatively recently where a top flight club.

If we signed someone like Mitrovic it would mean paying him at least 3 times more than our highest earner and goes against the principals of how our club is now run. It would lead to other players demanding silly money, then we are up shit creek without a paddle and back in league one before you know it.

There is wanting us to spend a bit more on wages and transfers and then there is just being plain silly.

History is just that. We had the worst play off record in history, we smashed it.

I don't fear anyone in the top six and over two games would fancy a go at any of them.

Yes it is going to be tough to get into the top six but we still can and if we can get there then who knows.

Do you attend Deepdale?

How are Fulham a club similar to us?

They receive parachute payments and have spent around £19m this season.

They will be paying around 30k a week, at least to loan Mitrovic, who will be earning double that at Newcastle.

Mental comment.

There is a lot of truth in this post, even if it is just stating the obvious about our historic lack of budget and/or reluctance to spend. The comparison with Fulham however is absolutely ludicrous. Also, is your keyboard missing the 'Enter' button?
 
We can do this!

This is their last season of payment though.

For me, the next 6 games are vital if we can get near 14 points then we will do it IMO considering the games that the teams around us have - Fulham v Wolves this weekend as an example.

PNE owned by a pauper and also play in Preston, no wonder we can't make the prem. 🙂
 
Trevor Hemmings is rich....................... Anyone on here really want us to " buy " our way to the Premier? Honestly?... What the fuck would be the point?

Actually if he decided to go that route i wouldn't mind at all.
The point would be us taking part in top flight football for the first time in 50+ years. Anyone on here want to wait another 50 years?

I don’t want us to “buy our way to the prem” with expensive has beens. However the club insists on getting a very inflated fee for Hugill, yet wouldn’t meet Oxford’s valuation of a player with a similar contract length and had played more games at all England youth levels than Ben Pearson.

I think if we have true ambition we have to buy strategically every now and then, just like Burnley did with Paterson, Chris Eagles, Ings and Austen etc.

Didn't Alex Neil say that Oxford point blank refused to discuss a fee?. If I'm wrong I stand corrected.
