Points needed for automatic

[Proudpie]

Not going to happen so not an issue
We are not good enough to sustain top 3
Should finish top 7 but are we good enough for a home and away battle ?
I really dont fancy us against Lincoln Coventry Exeter Stags over 2 games

I couldn't disagree more, our home form is still among the best in the league & providing our manager holds his bottle & trusts his team to go for wins away from home rather than resorting to his favourite 1 up front I see no reason top 3 cannot be achieved & if it comes to P/Os we are as consistent/ inconsistent as the teams mentioned so it's anyones game,

All the stats in the world will not make any difference to the final outcome . Notts have it in their own hands to achieve the playoffs - they just have to work hard and have the confidence to know they can win both at home and away. Automatic promotion is still a possibility although perhaps unlikely but hey, who knows how the teams above Notts will cope with the pressure of being in the top three - it affected Notts so it could be the same for Accrington & Wycombe.

Current form for last 8 home games shows we are not among the best in the division. And while people discard stats as .... well stats, they are an indicator of a team on or off form.

I wouldn't worry about playing Lincoln or Exeter twice, we already have. The others we have played once.

I'll memorise that lot and you can ask me questions about it later.

But you have to look at the trend, and our last 3 home games were wins, so we're moving up that table. (Thumbs up)

I hope so, Old_pie. With no more midweek games we should be able to keep them two old fellers up front fit enough for one game a week.

Last season Portsmouth had P 35 GD 20 PTS 59 and they went on to win the title,

Notts have P 35 GD 20 PTS 61, so you would think anything is still possible?
