Promotion or not?

[legs77]

What we dont know as it has not happened is how much would our owners put aside for a league one campaign ?

I dont expect a full on Chelsea style window but they arent stupid people and will know we need much better quality in the squad.

Maynard has only lost two games by more than two goals since he's been here (Stockport home and Salford away, both lost by a margin of 3), so a scenario where the promotion door closes by HT or well before the final whistle would be out of character. We shouldn't get humiliated or thrashed as some are suggesting.

Curiously, we've never drawn a play off match at home, though we have gone to extra-time.

Wembley aside, we've never won a play off match away. We'd drawn all of the non-final away ties since the first one back in 1988 until the most recent loss to Torquay in extra time.

Every play off game we've been involved with since the 1996 semi-finals has had at least 2 goals. Never had a 0-0.

Its unlikely. Weve built a season on routinely beating the teams near the bottom, but were not allowed to go up against them in the play offs.

But I do think weve got a pretty kind semi-final against a team struggling for form and confidence as much as we are. That feels like pretty much a coin flip, and then in a one off game you never know.
