You arrive at the latter end of the season and there's always one team that goes on a run out of nowhere and end up in the play offs or sneaking that elusive second promo spot.
As it stands Wigan, Shrewsbury and Blackburn will fight that one out. Can't see the likes of us sneaking second at all.
Looking back at the great run we recently went on, 11 wins 4 draws was immense but, what's happening to us of late?
3 losses in the last four and to two clubs in the bottom three.
Warne quoted we needed 4 more wins to secure a play off spot, don't agree with him we need more than that. Yes the points cushion is there but that can disappear over 3 games and there's 8 to play for.
We have some very difficult games coming up starting with the Posh on Friday, closely followed soon with three massive away games at Charlton, Wigan and Plymouth. Anything from these games will be a bonus but going on the last three defeats, Warne really does have to get back into the team's minds and keep a steady ship.
Too much chopping and changing? Players over confident on the big run thought they could turn up and win? Players waiting to get back in and not yet fully up to speed when played? Centre forwards off the boil( minus the Cobblers game) and it all soon adds up.
It will be a rollercoaster of a ride to the end of the season and I trust in Warne to sort it out. He has done far better than I ever envisaged as I feel most fans think this season and maybe just maybe he's over produced at times and raised massive expectations. But isn't that was football is all about, to win every game?
Whatever the outcome thank you Paul Warne for delivering us a great season so far.
NB. My choice for the late run in, Portsmouth.
