The good thing is that we are going into the playoffs knowing we have problems and we have a chance to fix it.

I thought we played well in the first half, but we were clueless in the second half. I'm reasonably confident we'll get into the play-off semis, but really not holding my breath for victory in those.

Predictorships still suggest us v County in the playoffs (ie 5th v 6th), which hasn't changed in about a month

There are 8 or 9 teams who could say the autos were theirs for the taking but nobody seems keen on taking except possibly Doncaster.

If Salford v Colchester is a draw then we are in the playoffs even if we lose the last two. Of course we should not be looking for other teams to do us favours but take care of it ourselves.

It’s the best season ever!

4 sides currently in play-offs have 5 wins between them in their last 6 rounds of games. Whoever goes up is coming straight back down.

Sounds like we’re not the only ones pissed off. I wonder which founder? [Link]

Morecambe down thank God we never have to go there again

**edit, 3 goals but point still stands

Carshalton Athletic 4 Other Team 1

Those late goals in other games have really helped us there. But even if we somehow scrape playoffs from our last two very hard games, winning them seems a thousand miles away.

Carshalton: don’t forget Salford now. lose 2 (very possible), and Colchester or Salford win both … looking at their fixtures, These two play each other next week. Pray for a draw

Case of a manager trying to be too clever. Yeah we look occasionally solid at the back but it’s dismantled the midfield and forward line. Autos were ours for the taking but we’ve blown it.

2 goals in 5 games doesn’t give me play off optimism, but I’m sure TBK will tell me not to be so silly

Other teams in playoffs equally shit, ours to win if jackson has the bollocks

Dreadful - no attacking intent other than hitting it long - completely one-dimensional over the past two months. Luckily Colchester nor Grimsby (thanks to a last-gasp equaliser by Vale) could take advantage (I'd given up on the autos several weeks ago)

Play offs will be embarrassing

The thing is if we beat Port Vale in the early kick off we will be in the playoffs. We need 3 points from our last two games.

Rubbish.

Not a disaster as we are effectively 5 points clear of Colchester in 8th with 2 games left

Yes we need a return to 352. Bugiel up with someone. Ball in midfield. JJ won't learn though and will stick to 3-4-3 even though it hasn't worked for months.

and Port Vale and Cheltenham deliver

Two tough games to come as well. Not good !

As with Friday the game needed a change of formation to 352. Sasu is a passenger and the two CM have been ineffective. This is absolute rubbish, to create so little is appalling, especially when you are going promotion. When you have 20+ striker in the team who plays better in a two why not play to his strengths
