Run-In Confidence

5 of the top 9 play before we do at 3pm on Saturday.

This could pile on pressure or give Notts the chance to put space between us and those hunting below as well as improving the chance of automatic promotion.

Lots of weekends coming up will look like this.

We have won just once out of the last 5 games, Not exactly the type of form needed for automatic or even the play-offs.

For me we are definitely more likely to miss out on the playoffs than finish in the automatic places. A month ago that wasn?t the case. Quite the opposite in fact.

Saying that I believe the most likely outcome is still a playoff finish even when in such poor form.

And yet we still sit 2 points off automatic. With Jodi back I think we atleast can have a decent crack. Its not ideal BUT if 2 points off automatic with 8 games left was offered at the start of the season would everyone on this board take it? (especially those who predicted a mid table season)...

Absolutely.

I doubt very much that when/if JJ comes back he will be any more productive than he was when he came back before. He certainly won't be the magic wand people are hoping for (IMO of course).

Too pessimistic I think, we have many good players.
I'd say Auto 27% Play-Off 50% Miss out 23% and those odds will shift with each game.

On this website my thoughts were positively optimistic by comparison.

I guessed a 7-10th finish and I feel I?m either going to be bang on the money or pleasantly surprised.

And yes the percentages will alter after each result. I wouldn?t put any money on it but agree playoffs seems 50:50 to me right now

We are running out of games for those injured players to be up to speed. As for Jodie, well he was nowhere near his old self when he returned last time.. So my question being, who else is there to come back and make a difference ???

I have an eerie feeling that that he might play a starring cameo role in the play off semis and final.
Now I wonder why I think that?
