Playoffs, your thoughts

As is reported in the Argus today the main aim is to reach the play-offs and we are on course of that. Automatic is still possible of course but it will need the teams above us to succumb to the pressure a little.

I think an aim must be to keep clear water between us and the 7th team so that in the last few games we can coast a little and use a bit of squad rotation so the players can hit the play-offs fresh and relatively injury free. Of course if we do keep close to the top two we must go for automatic. Simple arithmetic says there is a one in 4 chance in the play-offs and that is not great.

Only expected play offs, so happy with that.

From (not just) a purely personal point of view I hope it's automatic
As the season finishes on May 7th I'm assuming that the first leg of the play-offs will be on May 14th and I'm away so hoping that we'll be at home in the second leg of the play offs which will (I assume) be the following Wednesday or something like that
If we get to the final on May 28th I'm . . . away !
Not good planning by Mr Springsteen . . .

Just having checked the table re my last point:
1. All three teams at the bottom can still catch us.
2. If we win tonight, only one of them can - Rotherham.
3. One more win after that, and we are safe.
4. But I think the likelihood of Rotherham winning all their remaining games is fairly remote, ............

......... so I am quite happy about that.

Charlton still have to play Bolton, so only one of them are able to catch us.

Seeing as only one team in the whole divison can't overtake us, I think we have a bloody long way to go yet in deciding positions above and below. We could still easily win it, or easily not make the playoffs.

I'm even happier about it now!

PS: Bruno would have been in our first choice 11 for 13/14 if fit. Greer not in current 11 but arguably still first choice.
