Lets be really honest here chances of us making the play offs on current form is pretty unlikely. How many games can the team be outclassed and still get 3 points just like last night and Huddersfield. Plenty of teams in the league who deserve the play offs and we really cannot justify being there come May. Sorry for being negative I'm just being realistic even though it hurts but that all parcel of being a Tractor boy fan all my life.

Mark added 19:13 - Mar 9 It's amazing we're still in contention really as to watch us we look a nothing like a team worthy of promotion. Take yesterday at Bolton, 44% of possession and 3 shots on target to their 8. At Huddersfield, 33% of possession and 1 shot on target to their 5 Really, getting four points from those game with stats like that is a good achievement!

Steelmonkey added 22:09 - Mar 9 Those dates won't be any concern for us town fans, and if we did get there we wouldn't deserve to be, at least I am a realist, despite what my heart feels.

If we get there we deserve to be there surely?!?!,! If a team gets enough points to make it into the playoffs then the fact is they have earned the right to be there! You lot saying if we get there we don't deserve it is utter rubbish!

If you look at the league it's actually in our hands so we have just as much right as anyone to claim that 6th, 5th or even higher spot!

itsonlyme added 12:57 - Mar 10 Well said harryS I am not too happy with the current management but that does not stop me supporting the team! If we reach the play-offs it will be because we deserve to. As we know, anything can happen in the play-offs because football is a funny old game!

MathieandMarshall added 13:03 - Mar 10 Already trying to plan my little boys birthday party around the final just in case. We all know it will be a miracle to get there and we would be punching way above our weight with the current squad but stranger things have happened!

A couple weeks ago when we had lost 3 on the trot booked up to see Barry Steele at Regent.Have seen him several times before and he is excellent tribute act to the big 'O'.plus other good supporting acts.

Unfortunately falls on one of the play off days;but I don't mind if we get there nevertheless.

Still mainly hope rather than expectation,but as only 1 point off top six with game in hand
it is quite feasible at present.

jas0999 added 19:20 - Mar 10 In the diary. Would be a massive backwards step if we don't at least make the play offs. Right? After all ITFC spent the first part of the season spouting spin about how great a squad we have and that Evans absolutely didn't need to invest.
