Play-Offs or Not?

With 18 games left this season and with town now three points outside the play off zone are we going to make the play offs or not?

As you can see I have predicted us to win 9 of those 18 games which is a

tall order, if you calculate my predicted points with our current tally

we would end up with 73 points, which is usually close to the play offs

but not guaranteed, however this year that may well be enough with the

standard of this division being lower than usual.

If we achieved this 73 points mark we would be averaging almost 1.8 pts per game which again is close to where we need to be, but can we really expect the lads to win

every other game for the rest of the season?

I think the last week of the transfer window will hold the key to what we will be likely to do, if Alan Quinn ends up being our only signing then I think we will

struggle to make them, however if he is joined by David Norris and

perhaps one other player then you would have to say that we must have a

decent chance to make it.

Surely Crystal Palace can't keep their staggering run going for much longer, they will start to drop points at some stage, as will most of the sides chasing the four play off spots, whilst we can only sit back and hope for the best.

What is sure is that we will surely be in for one hell of a white knuckle ride.
