Can't see us anywhere near the bottom 4, but a challenge for the play offs looks a bit far off at the moment.

Well that was Plympton Pilgrim's assessment on 1st August and seemed to be the generally accepted opinion

Now, three months later, with arguably 3 of our best players sidelined, we are sitting quite comfortably in the top six, but seem disappointed at an away point to one of last season's play off finalists.

Why the negativity guys?

"but a challenge for the play offs looks a bit far off at the moment"

What do you base that on?

I think he was quoting opinions made back in August

Possibly.

He was Gullers, look at the second sentence of Grovey's post.

Don't see much negativity really, if we had come back from 2 1 down to grab an away point it can feel like a victory but to lose the lead twice makes it feel like two points dropped. Trouble is our very thin bench compared to the big hitters of the league, this is very tough league to get out of and we must have way less budget than loads of teams below us so four points could be make or break at the seasons end.
Another worry to me is that if we don't go up this season we will struggle to hold onto our best players especially Hardie come the summer.

Hardie must be showing on every buying club's radar.

virtually the whole squad is out of contract at the end of next season so if we don't go up i agree it will be difficult to tie down the stars we want to keep if there is interest from higher up the leagues.

only just seen the result so just reading up on it now and watching the goals.

Our Premier League Keeper is as good as ever

Too slow to move for their 1st even the attacker having miss hit it must have been thinking WTF.

He's not improved its entirely down to the defence in front of him that has.
