Genuine question.
With the teams lining up behind us, could easily drop out altogether.
Automatic really still feasible?
I think I’d take the play off lottery right now if offered to me. |  |

Calm down Dimley, there's 18 games left of the season. |
I think it’s a reasonable question to set off a discussion to be fair. |  |

Ask me in five games' time. I think we will narrow the gap in that spell and that will mean it has got interesting. |  |

Whilst the points and games are available to make the autos then the answer from me would be no
Apart from that , I believe we have a better chance via the autos than the play offs
The lack of momentum from that point would screw us over |  |

Bit early to start talking about taking a play off spot. Two game rounds go our way and we'd be back in 2nd.
We've just gotta stay calm and until it's mathematically impossible, not worry about the playoffs. |  |

it's not that reasonable.
the side in 7th who could knock us out are on course to get 75 points. We can get that from 6 wins, a draw and 8 losses.
would anyone settle for that given that we've only lost 4 all season?
a more interesting question might be, should we "give up" on auto promotion now, so that we're better psychologically prepared for the play-offs?
i'd say that we're not at that stage yet either | |

Come off it. I'm as annoyed as the next man/woman/other supporter that our form has dipped, and have certainly expressed a lot of frustration on here. But seriously, the chances of us going up automatically are substantially greater than the chances of us finishing lower than 6th.
Betway are currently offering odds of 1/100 that we make the top six. Let that sink in. The chances of us finishing 7th or lower are tiny.
So no, I wouldn't take the playoffs. I think we may well end up there, but to give up when we're third is daft.
If we do make the playoffs and don't go up, will you be back here in August asking if we'll take mid table obscurity? Cos that wouldn't be any more daft than this. |  | | |

We need to stop the run we are on Joe. The draws are killing us. And that's what is letting others slowly bridge the gap.
I hadn't noticed but posh ( 2 games in hand ) could.. could also still catch us.
Which seemed almost impossible only a month or so back. But 14 points out of 33 has taken into catchable territory. [Post edited 13 Feb 2023 15:55]

Peterborough are 12 points behind us and have taken 13 points while we have taken those 15 (your 14 is wrong). Why do you think Peterborough will suddenly win nearly every game and we won't? |  |

You should have asked "would you take the play off final right now".. |  | | |

It's a tough question
Would you take the playoffs if we were in better form than right now and looking like we could manage the bigger games and more difficult moments better? I think I would.
Win the next 3/4 games and it's a different landscape, however feels like groundhog day with saying that every time we drop points | | | |

No, the next 5 games represents a great chance to get things back on track.
We need to take all 15 points and hand out a few thrashings. Excellent opportunity to get players like Broadhead, Harness, Burns back into form.
McKenna needs to stop chopping and changing though. Inconsistent decision making often results in inconsistent results at this level. |
Ala Paul Lambert! | | | |

i think he's got a point, that 5-0 win against bolton shows he knows his stuff! they'll be above us before we know it... | |

| Automatics have probably gone; what I want is a very strong finish to season on 23:03 - Feb 13 with 904 views | unstableblue |
I want the play-offs and we will easily make them, but not making the automatics is disappointing, but in part is due to a team further along in their project and one with a far better squad (if people can’t see that Weds front 4 are a completely different level to us then they’re on drugs… only Broadhead has raised to that level).
But critically what we want and demand is a really strong finish to the season, the real click moment for this team, and a run of results that take us into the play-offs as the form team. |  |

"a more interesting question might be, should we "give up" on auto promotion now, so that we're better psychologically prepared for the play-offs?"
Maybe add to that by saying if everyone came to terms with the play-offs it might take pressure of the players. Could be that could give us a better chance of getting into the autos by an unexpected backdoor. I do think the players are tense and are aware of fans expectations. Doesn't mean to say give up on autos - but have a mental reset with playoffs being the expected goal. Plenty of competition in the squad and no-one should ease off. We've messed up with the pressure of 'must win game' so not sure we'd cope better with every game being 'must win' on steroids.
Doesn't mean to say we're in a good place. We have f#cked up in the last couple of months and saying we're in a good position in 3rd is so not right with mid-table form for the last two months. | | | |

It was a theoretical question, that, other than the usual two or three people, most answered without having to have a pop.
If we waited a few more games, it would make the question less of a debate…. Which was kind of the point of it…. Do you see? | |

Absolutely not.
I just hope that our players can show some more mental fortitude than some of our defeatist fans at the moment |
The players mental fortitude is the reason we are in free fall!! |  | | |

i understand your question, i just don't think it's a reasonable one. the statement "We could easily drop out altogether." is demonstrably untrue.
no-one sane would settle for the playoffs when they're pretty much in the bag and we could have so much more [Post edited 14 Feb 2023 14:04]

What's to understand?
An allegedly fully grown man, with a history of trolling asking about the play offs when there's 18 games left of the season.
Think it's you who doesn't really understand, mate. | |

I do not fear the plau offs but in no way do we want to be involved.
If we can have a dry spell over 5 weeks then so can other teams.
We have a strong chance of still gaining automatic promotion.
As I have said before, Sheff Wed's last game of the season (vs Derby) is gong to be the instrumental fixture in all of this. |  |

It wasn't about whats suddenly going to happen. Was just a point at how our run despite not a lot of actual losses had brought a few clubs Into the picture where as a while back it didn't really seem even an outside possibility that we might not stay top 6 minimum.
Just a fee wins and consolidate a top 6 place will be nice. Starting with tonight. |  |

That's the spirit. Keeps the players fresh for next season and saves us the stress of going through the play-offs. Win-win. Also allows us to plan our transfer business for the summer nice and early. | |
