Guest yateady Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 if we did end up in the play-offs and then win them i think the great escape theme tune should be played before running out on the pitch next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Well, if either Swansea or Forest win, we're effectively out of the running, and since both are at home, you'd have to say the odds are against it.I'd love it to go to the last game though Edit: I'm overlooking Barnsley I suppose.

CiderHider Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Its a shame we have to rely on others to slip up, but if they do slip up we have to be there ready to take advantage so all we can do is win our remaining games (not easy ones either), surely GJ must be thinking about the play offs now, i'm sure the players are. I'm not bothered if we don't make them though, i wrote this season off when we went down 7-1 to Swansea.If i'm honest, i'm just gald we're safe.

Admin Ian M Posted April 22, 2006 Admin Share Posted April 22, 2006 Could be an interesting final day if results (again!) go our way on Saturday!Could well be Barnsley, Forest, Swansea & City ALL vying for 2 play-off places.ALL 4 sides will then be trying to win away from home.

City Exile Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I don't think its going to happen, but imagine if we sent to Southend, won, broke their hearts and they slipped in to third place!Then we could play them in the play offs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just asking the question whether City can make the play-offs as results went City's way today.Personally, I think the same as I've thought for ages - City will fall short of the play-offs.Actually I'm not sad or little.Nor do I have a singular view on on BCFC.As for my role as SC Chairman.Yes it is a responsible job and I and the committee put in many hours a week of our own time simply for the love of the club.I took a day of work this week to fullfill some of my responsibilities for the SC and BCFC.Thats a day annual leave but I'm not complaining about it - its my choice.When you put in as much of your time as we do then I would be prepared to listen to your rant.I've also said many times that the views I express on this forum are my own and not the views of the SC.

Guest Harding_4 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 When theres hope theres a chance i will also say if we did sneak into the play offs we would win it, the team that gets there right near the end always ends up winning it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 When theres hope theres a chance i will also say if we did sneak into the play offs we would win it, the team that gets there right near the end always ends up winning it Well, "not always", but it does leave the team that sneaks in there at the last minute with the best spirit going into them! Anyway, City once screwed up an even more odds against chance when they got in them didn't they?Mid/Late 80s I think... The Season where City sneaked in there, having won their last 4 games, and Wigan losing their last 4 games...City finished 6th and went straight out in the Semi-Finals...I really think we could do with a 5th place finish if we are to end up in the playoffs this season!

Guest december 1963 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Even when we were 23rd I posted that I really believed that we were in a better position than most of the other teams at the bottom to escape relegation. Yet I never believed we would get to the position we are now. How this team's results have been transformed so completely is incredible. Now all of a sudden I am thinking "what ifs". What if Steve Brooker's goal against Nottm For hadn't been disallowed. I do think we will beat Swindon and send them down and then we're left with a real possibility of getting what seemed impossible. The atmosphere next week should be a bit on the loud side methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucksred Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Why not? No pressure on us in reality-just a spirit we aint seen at the Gate in many years. They are all EXPECTED to get there, we're not. We're enjoying playing WIHOUT any pressure for the first time in quite a while. If youre in the pray offs anything can happen-we should know, its happened to us aint it?Get behind them home and away, make a forking noise, lift the lads, and why the hell not?All this would be a brucie bonus after being bottom at xmas, now wouldnt it.You reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!

Guest Forest for life Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 We lost today for the first time since February and Hartlepool were worthy winners. We've still got a great chance with Bournemouth and Bradford away to come and confidence is still high. Incidently we've got over 6,000 tickets for the last game and whatever happens its a credit to Frank and Charlie for making this push happen. Swansea have it tough against Southend and Chesterfield and its going to be so tight to the end. Who the hell would have thought we'd be discussing play off chances with two games to go when we drew at the Gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THink you will be more gutted than us though as you spent over a million pound getting out of this division.

Guest Forest for life Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I think we have a very solid base now and it would be a crime to change it by upsetting the shape of the side. Anyway if we don't go up it wouldn't be wise to fork out too much because with our finances safe we don't want another desperate Platt situation. Our chairman Nigel Doughty knows this and i'm sure despite his recent financial gains he'll limit the budget for next season unless we are in the championship. However paying championship wages in league one will take its tole which is why we are so desperate to get up and further stabilise our financial position.

Barnsley & Swansea are in atrocious form, and Oldham are as good as out of the running. Who says it's over Well having said that, you still need to consider all possibilities... Both Oldham and Doncaster as well as City can still "yet" make the playoffs, though for Donny, it looks like one bridge too far for them, so I can't see it happening to be honest...Though with one bridge less for us to cross, there is still hope for City, but only "hope"... At the end of the day, I'll be more than happy with 70 points by the end of this season, no matter where City finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
