We're not gonna stop not stoppingWhat are we going to stop doing?
You know they’ve pretty much accepted that the playoffs are not going to happen when managers or players come out with the “mathematically possible” stuff.
All about managing expectations now.
You know what happened to Tony Soprano when he chose that song.....
In December with 23 games to go and a lot of points to play for..........
very true .... but as the cliche goes, 'its the hope that kills you' .... Up The Manor!It’s not going to happen though is it? We are looking at needing 12 wins and 12 draws out of the next 24 games to get to 74 points, which is roughly what the 6th place team average ppg would take them to. Could obviously be less than that but not by a huge amount, which would allow us a loss, we could win a couple more which would allow us another loss but that still makes for a huge ask.
We have only won 8 league games in the last 30, to win 13 or 14 would be an incredible ask for a side that concede most games and have a centre forward who has scored in one game in the last 22 league games and an 18 year who has only ever scored one goal as cover (the other two being an injured player on loan who is better side and a player who may well never play again.
People always quote Barnsley as going in that run, but that neglects to mention that probably hundreds (maybe even a thousand) have been in our position or similar over the years and not gone up.
you have a pointWhat's the alternative? Robinson saying "we're fucked and the seasons over." Tim Williams reporting that no one's going yo bother because its not worth it anymore? So many complain about anything that presents a small club mentality but have happily given up on a season that still has 72 points to play for.
