How about a bit of perspective with this?
Since the start of December our league form is W5 L2 D1, 2 point per game.
This is despite what seems for some to have been a terrible January, 3 league games only, W1 L1 D1.
The January form is 1.33 points per game, keep that up we’ll be on around 62 points, by some margin our best season at this level. And yet some still don’t rate Sadler.
We would need 2 points per game to get to 75 and the usual play-off total. Whilst not convinced we’ll make it it’s achievable if we play as we have for the last 8 games.
February is going to be the clincher. We have 7 games, 4 of which are at home. 4 of the 7 are against the 4 teams currently immediately above us, 2 against the teams immediately below us (I’m ignoring Swindon over whom we have 2 games in hand) and the other is against Mansfield, who we can drag back into the play-off battle.
So effectively they’re all 6 pointers, if we can go W4 L1 D2 we’ll be right in the mix, 2 points per game on 51 points, around 9th with 12 to go. Obviously better would be better, but also W4 L3 D0 would be a good month, 1.71 per game and 49 points on the board and hopefully around 10th with 12 games to go.
Oh and I’d add a game in hand over everyone above us bar Crawley and Wrexham.
Why not?
