Anyone got a weird feeling ..

I'm as optimistic as they come, but I just don't see it this time - I wonder whether those of us of a certain vintage think we don't actually deserve it because our form has been so inconsistent - rather than being decent to brilliant in our previous play off runs.

I have though said to TSSJr3, if we've anything to play for on the final day; we'll be making the stupid decision to drive to Reading for a lunchtime kick off.

Football eh.
 
I was confident before a ball was kicked but that soon changed to being a little flat and disappointed. The odd performance has lifted my hope but I've never really felt confident.
 
Squeaky bum time, I think we will balls it up tonight in front of the Sky cameras, we realistically need to win both, which I cant see happening, so I think Lincoln have it in bag. See you next season.

I'm starting to think about 2001 when we sneaked in the play offs with 3 late wins? This time we are much more reliant on other results.

The only think that matters is that people turn up tomorrow in good voice and enjoy themselves. If we win, let's see where we are then.

Yes we lost a lot of games that season aswell..Darlo away last game of the season and we squeezed into the play offs because Plymouth drew..What a journey back 😃🍻
 
There's too many if's and buts at this particular time and it gives me a headache going through them - so I've stopped doing it.
I'll wait for tonight's result. Then our result tomorrow. THEN if we're still in the race, I'll go through the if's and buts, and hope it's not a case of reflecting on the games we should have won and a matter the 'what if's'!

You reckon? Think you’ll beat Stevenage tonight. Manager just left and no chance of play offs.
 
I honestly don’t think we will make the play offs and that means there is one more disappointment to come from a season that’s been full of it.
Happy to be proved wrong though.
 
Most of us have written the season off as being over. If we do it then fair play but I'm not convinced, Critchley doesn't have it in his DNA to go out and attack a team from the off.
 
It’s strange to think that even losing about 2 fewer games would have been enough.

Rhodes is the reason we are up there but also the reason we won’t cross the line this time. How many points have we gained due to him and Dembele!

Huge loss.

Winning our final two games is fairly realistic but we’d also have to rely on Barnsley and Oxford and hopefully Lincoln to drop points. Too many other teams to rely on for us to make it this time, IMO.
 
I had virtually given up hope due to Lincoln's storming run but then noticed that Barnsley were having a wobble. So it turned from one available place in the play-offs to a possible two. This was then combined with a run of games that on paper looked very winnable and that is how it has turned out. We're still fourth favourites in a four horse race but as the finish line approaches the added pressure can do strange things. All we can do is keep winning sometimes one performance can turn everything around.

2 from 4 making it only need two teams to drop points, one of which we play Saturday. Think they have only won 1 maybe 2 in the last 10 games

Well I think we can do Barnsley, especially as we are at home.

However, wouldn’t we still need to beat Reading away on the final day- and even then if Oxford and Barnsley win one of their remaining two, we will finish 7th right?

We've scrapped to 1-0 wins, lately, against poor teams, but we also look bloody awful.
So, unfortunately, I'm not feeling it this time.

As much as I'd love to believe, the last few results have masked some pretty poor performances.
Maybe, just maybe, against better opposition we can change that today.
