| Playoffs it is then on 16:47 - Jan 31 by Nthsuffolkblue | Certainly too early to say we can't go up through the play offs. However, we are unlikely to make up 8 points on the teams ahead of us without winning most of our games. We really need to be doing better than we have done in our latest two (so far). |
Win our game in hand, and the home game against Boro and all we have to do is gain one more point on Boro to finish above them. I appreciate fans are hesitant/ lacking belief but it is far too early for doom & gloom. Stand united behind the team, especially those who travel to away games, make the difference. |  |

| Playoffs it is then on 18:17 - Jan 31 with 350 views | itfcsuth | We only deserve play offs at best, nowhere near consistently good enough to be in the top 2. Probably less than 10 times this year have you thought we’ve really dropped a good performance. I think the reality, this squad of players just isn’t as good as people might make them out to be, or what their price tags reflect. When it comes to the play-offs, it’s always a lottery, and I don’t have belief or faith in this group to deliver. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

No team has lost fewer games No team has conceded fewer goals. There is room for improvement bot doom and gloom cannot currently be justified. |  |

"We only deserve play offs at best" - what a load of unmitigated horse shit. |  |

We are 4th in the league, the only stat that matters. We are hunting down Coventry, Middlesbrough and Hull, and in a really poor Championship season aren’t making a particularly good go at it. Still 7 points from the automatics. Most importantly, you could count on one hand the amount of times this year we have looked utterly convincing, looking like a real level above the opposition. |  | |  |

As knowledgeable and insightful as ever, but no real substance to your counter response. [Post edited 31 Jan 19:27]

I wouldn’t call it hunting them down, I think they have hunted us down and look a lot stronger and resilient than we do. The money we have spent/wasted. |  | |  |

Apparently we have done all this whilst playing poorly too (according to that poster). If we can start playing well, we should boss the league! |  |

I agree apart from where you said the squad is not good enough. The style of play and lack of any patterns of play apart from slow passing around the back is the problem. |  | |  |

| Playoffs it is then on 17:02 - Jan 31 by FrimleyBlue | We were 2nd at one point. Now 8 points off it. And hull have joined the party. |
Amazing how quickly things twist and turn isnt it. The only problem we have is that we've stopped scoring at the mo so it will be more difficult to win games and capitalise when Cov and Boro slip up - as they will. |  |

We have failed to score once in the last 15 matches. We have scored 2 or more times in eight of them! |  |

If only there were 46 games in the season. |  |

| Playoffs it is then on 17:13 - Jan 31 by Nthsuffolkblue | Because a draw away wouldn't be good enough with a win at home? It is far too early to be resigned to the play offs anyway. But I do feel we need a striker before the window closes. |
Fine, but we've lost more games away than we've drawn - you do appreciate that? And in the playoffs we won't be playing the average side, we'll be playing stronger sides. We do need a striker. Desperately. We are agreed on that. |  | |  |

Agreed we need a striker. If Hirst could get back to early season form and Azon/Akpom could start taking chances would help too. Of those in the play off places we have: Beaten Hull 2-0 (A), H to play; Drawn with Millwall 0-0 (A), H to play; Drawn with Wrexham 0-0 (H), A to play. I don't think there is anything to greatly fear there. If Coventry drop into them we have beaten them at home and away. It is the lower teams we have struggled against. That said, the play offs are a bit of a lottery and I would much prefer we got automatic promotion, of course. |  |

The only time it matters to be in the top two is on the last day of the season when all of the regular matches have finished. |  | |  |
