Awful performance but they happen. We're currently a mid table league 1 side. For every game like this there's games like beating Charlton and Sunderland. Have to say I thought some of our support were absolutely shocking today. Constantly berating the players. Booing off Chapman. Chanting "F**...

Crikey talk about overreaction.

We've lost a good player. We have another very good player who plays the same role (who was actually Duff's first choice)

But nope season is over now and we are going to lose 10-0 at Wigan tomorrow.

2006-07

We were in League 1. Swindon and Bristol R both in League 2 (both got promoted that season)

If my maths is correct we will be basically promoted if we beat Colchester on Saturday and Bolton beat Morecambe We'd have 78 points. FGR and Tranmere at this point can only reach 78 max. Morecambe would only be able to reach 78 max. So while we wouldn't have that beautiful letter P next to our name...

So if Morecambe were to drop points against either Oldham and Grimsby and beat Bolton then that's a dream scenario.

But in a simple sense. .3 wins from the next 3 and that's us up all but mathematically.

We could theoretically be here in 10 days time celebrating a promotion. The highest total Morecambe in 4th can get is 81 points. If we win our next three games which as we know are Crawley on Friday, Stevenage on Tuesday and then Colchester next Saturday, we would have 81 points meaning we'd be all ...

The statement from the EFL mentioning time rather and date says to me that they're definitely just being moved to a different time rather than postponed.

My prediction is 5:30 kick off.

Another way to look at things can be in terms of points target. These are the maximum number of points the teams in the promotion race/play off picture can get: Cheltenham-98 Forest Green-97 Tranmere-96 Newport-93 Exeter-92 Carlisle-92 Cambridge-91 Bolton-90 Morecambe-89 Salford-89 Crawley-89 So as ...

Grimsby (A) April 5
Leyton Orient (H) April 10
Crawley (A) April 17
Stevenage (A) April 20
Colchester (H) April 24

That is 5 games we should be targeting maximum points from.

Not a guarantee of course but getting 5 wins from those games will be a mark of champions.

I still don't understand the talk of "we will not have a chance as good as this for a long time now." Despite the way it all ended we are a club on an upward trajectory. Most people myself included would have been happy with continued progress and a top half finish. Had we finished 8th wou...

The biggest fear for me is that is incredibly hard for the players and fans to come back from. It was simply so unexpected and crushing to confidence. Teams have suffered worse and come back from it. Remember Forest in 2007. Second season in League 1. Expecting promotion. Yeovil in the semi finals,...
