...and we don't deserve to be in the play offs with the form we've been in since the turn of the year.
It's all about next season now. Personally i'd start work on the retained list right away and that shouldn't take long !!!!
Think we'll scrape in but if our recent form is anything to go by we'll lose in the semi's.

It's a 'No' from me. Not enough quality, tactical nous and sadly the passion and determination which covered a multitude of deficiencies earlier in the season has gone.
I think we'll make the play-offs, which lest we forget was the most almost any of us hoped for at the start of the season, but I think it's apparent now that we aren't ready for League One (yet).
Only three teams have conceded fewer goals than us, and only three have scored more, so we're pretty much where that would suggest, but while I think we do need to strengthen central defence in the summer, the area where we've really faded is up front. Jorge Grant's goals covered up the limitations of our strikers earlier in the season, but we're relying on two veterans in their mid-30s who have simply run out of steam over the course of a long hard season, and the back-up options (Forte, Saunders) simply aren't consistent or good enough.
In goal, full-back and midfield we haven't got world beaters, but we have players who are decent for this level. If we recruit well in the summer (and we're going to need at least three good strikers closer to the middle of their careers) then we could take the next step forward.
