Reckon we’d need 60 points out of the remaining 99 available for a play off spot 1.8ish points per match. 20 wins out of 33. Time to start a win countdown thread now then?! If Latics make the top six my bet winnings will fund my trip(s) to the playoffs with plenty to spare for pints plus new Latics kits for my boys... Cripes, exciting times.

We should expect that one of the four wheels of our bandwagon will fall off before May. In the hands of the board keeping them together and even building on it.

In the hands of the board keeping them together and even building on it. I’m well aware and wary of that - because of a certain goal at Wembley all those years ago I’m cautious about getting hopes up not just with Latics but with just about everything... as the saying goes: it’s the hope that kills you. That taken into account, there’s plenty to be happy about even in just the last five results alone. I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts - as it’s a rare thing. Meanwhile Paddy Power have cut the odds on us top six from 60/1 to 35/1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying that a very good side will finish in top 6. If we don't finish in top 6 we are not a very good side by league one standards. We are currently 19th ....to finish top six we will probably another 61 points from our remaining 33 games. (just for the record by the way I have watched over 1200 Latics games and seen them play on 47 league grounds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even need to watch us or indeed support us to know our position is false, just take a look at the Blackburn and Bradford forums for evidence of this.

Exactly...your opinion is no more relevant than anybody else's despite what Kowenicki likes to think just for perspective Blackburn's result in the game before us was a 1-0 home defeat to the team in 21st and the game after a 1-1 home draw to bottom club. Bradfords game before us was a 3-1 defeat to 21st in league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayvan Cowboy Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Taking ten points from Posh, Pompey, Blackburn and Bradford is ridiculous form really isn't it, I doubt we'll have a tougher run of games than that this season. If we beat the Franchise on Saturday i think i might haemorrhage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Haven't listened to the early parts of the iFollow commentary recently, but have we been playing 3-5-2 with Hunt on the right, or 4-4-2 with Hunt at left back?

Midsblue Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) I agree that we just enjoy the play whilst we can. Having this team together until January (longer I hope) and their current performances is a joy to behold. Getting into the top 10 and remaining there will be a plus over the last two seasons. If we sneak into that top 6 it'll be amazing. Getting points on the board is a must but playing attractive football whilst doing that is a bonus. Now we've got Wellens in charge permanently for two seasons then I'm sure he'll maintain his style of play as long as the personnel remains and remains fit. Exciting times ahead on the field....just hope off the field in 6 weeks mirrors that and Wellens playing objective is unaffected. From Moisley's mouth yesterday it's definitely a takeover and one that's more or less sorted between the two parties with EFL just required to rubber stamp it. Just hope it means cash to strengthen or very least keep this team together until May. It'll be interesting if Brassbank have sold too.

BP1960 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Even though I only have an audio subsripton I watched the whole off the Bradford match on ifollow. No commentary, but could hear the crowd so it was like being at the match. Pity it's not available until the following day rather than just after the match.
