OK we are all hoping that the result (and some of the performance) at
Yoevil is the turning point and the start of a good run of results,
especially since all (apart from maybe Charlton away) of our remaining
games are winnable on paper, But given the form of Millwall, Swindon etc
automatic promotion is very difficult to achieve - it may all come down to
the last day of the season when we should beat Bristol Rovers BUT may need
the right result of Millwall v Swindon (whatever that result may be).
As for the play offs it is hard to see how we can qualify for promotion
that way - even forgetting Charlton, Watford , Doncaster and Millwall in
previous play offs - we are looking at playing either Swindon who have
beaten us 0 -3 and 0 -3 or Millwall who hammered us 0 2 and 0 2, or
Huddersfield who we have drawn with 2 - 2 both games but been the poorer
side both times and both games we were not struggling for goals as we are
at the moment, or Charlton who in our only meeting so far we got a 0 0
home draw.
So, to date, we have not managed a single victory against any of the 4
prospective opponents and have been totally stuffed twice by 2 of them.
Add to that the fact that we could not even beat a poor Carlisle team over
a two legged final when we needed to, and you can see why my confidence
like that of most (all ?) of my mates is at an all time low.
Then looking at next season the chances are that Southampton will walk the
league and that will leave us fighting again for second place and if a
posting on some sites of an alleged conversation with Bates is true we
will be trying to do it with worse players than we currently have !

David, I think we can pretty much forget about this season now and just plan
for another season in L1. We aint going to get automatic promotion. 18
points from 17 games is just not good enough, and is definitely not
promotion form.
The way we're going we'll be lucky to qualify for the playoffs, we could
still miss out on that too. We've been in free fall since we knocked man u
out the cup. If we do manage to stay within the playoff places then we'll
probably make it to wembley again to be knocked out by another mediocre
Yorkshire team.
KFC should have acted several games ago and brought in a new manager. We
should also have sold beckford for whatever price we could have gotten at
the beginning of the year. The gamble is not paying off.
