Promotion or not?

If we somehow manage to win the play-offs?and it?s a big IF?and we play in League 1 like we have for the past four months, it will mean an immediate return. A massive shake-up is needed, regardless of which league we play in next season. I fear it will be League 2 again. That means a NO from me.

We can be extremely good on our day, the issue for me is we need 3 days in a row to go up and that doesn?t seem likely.

We could go up with 2 good days.

Good point!

Which is pretty much the point I was trying to make in:

The Bros and an alternative view - https://boards.footymad.net/showthread.php?t=38350144

That is, they've pretty much given up on this season realising that the situation is what you've said.

Are you having a laugh!

In all likelihood no.

I've not seen anything, at least in recent performances at home, to suggest we're ready to win the play-offs or survive in League One if we somehow did find our way through. We've improved on last season position-wise and that's worthy of credit, but fresh from seeing us against a promotion-winning team in Doncaster on Saturday, and remembering how robust Mansfield looked when they eventually got promoted last season, I don't think we're in that condition yet.

One home game two away we're crap at home very good away so get through next sat and it's a yes from me. I'll worry about next year when it comes. The Bro's was at the game sat so will have seen what we all saw and what we need.

I agree. Mansfield last season were a far more accomplished and capable side than we are this season, and they've struggled in L1 for the most part. We'd get relegated from L1 with this side, so we'd need a massive summer transfer window. Not that we'll get promoted.

I still believe that the POs are a lottery & none of the other teams in them are anything special, you never know when you may get favouring decisions ala Coventry so it's a yes from optimistic me, however as others have posted we would need a massive shake up to avoid an immediate & resounding return. This squad is nowhere near league 1 standard imo. COYP

Nah we don't have the mentality or enough quality.
Chesterfield for me, recruitment was excellent bought in experience above potential.
