Promotion - yes or no?

I think we'll get into the play-offs. But probably by finishing between 5-7th. I then think we'll bottle it and lose in them like we have done in 3 of the past 4 seasons.

Like many others have said I just feel we're a bit lacking in energy/ aggression compared to the top top teams at this level.

Hope to be proven wrong tho.

Yeah, as Champions, a winning run from now onwards, COYP

Agree with DSR (seeing that avatar brings back great memories), for me the basic ingredient we are missing is energy and more so aggression in central defence and central midfield. It's an area of the game that can't be ignored regardless of how pretty we can look in possession.

The concern for me is that the recruiters don't seem to see "aggression" as a fundamental ingredient in any successful side - all over the pitch, but especially in the spine of the team. We got a sense of that last season when we signed the lightweight loanee from Crewe when Doyle was injured, and again this season with the signing of Brunt.

At best unlikely. Hard to see how it is going to happen.

Jeez, what a positive thread this is. We’ve blown top spot but I still believe we will go up in play offs whether it be from 7th or 2nd.

Cant be doing with all the histrionics on here after a defeat.

It’s a yes from me!!

[MancMagpie]

I'm going to say yes as well. We're good enough to stay in the playoffs and we have time to put things right. Then the lottery and heartache begins again!! But I still think we can do it this time, despite agreeing with a lot of what people have said about soft underbelly and no plan B.

Hopefully that result was a bit of a wake up call !

Being an eternal optimist I said 'yes', as you can probably guess However, it seems there are now more yes votes in the comments than in the poll so far. Perhaps it isn't working for some people or maybe they commented without voting.

Full marks for nailing your colours to the mast, and I genuinely hope you've got it right. However, I don't see how you can describe the reaction to the Chesterfield defeat on here as 'histrionics'. A poll is designed to gauge opinions, and that's exactly what this one is doing.

Straight yes or no.

no
