Not really, no.

Exactly. Playoffs are slipping away now. Soon be time to plan for next year.

Staying up was the only objective if I remember correctly?

 

[ccfcway]

oh well, we can look forward to Fortress / Water Logged Sixfields on Saturday

 

[mark82]

Staying up was the only objective if I remember correctly?

At the start of the year, yes. But things change.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Still Pressley's aim was to stay up and that's realistic

 

[mark82]

Haha. At least we won't lose again if it's called off.

 

[ccfc92]

Agreed. Just shows that the board don't have the same aspirations as our playing squad.

 

[wingy]

Mrs

Duty free run??

 

[ccfcway]

you do have to say, if this is anything like the squad we have for the rest of the season, that objective would be more than reasonable

 

[shmmeee]

In all seriousness, despite us getting our hopes up because of the great start to the season, with the cash he's spent anything other than relegation is a miracle for Pressley. Worry is now that it makes it easier for clubs to pick off our players.

 

[Johhny Blue]

12 points off. Unless we win something stupid like 5 in a row I think that's it.

That would be 14

Thing is, we had an opportunity we may not get next year.

I don't get how so many games have been called off. It's only rained once or twice the last few days here in Colchester, and the Western Homes is brand new, yet they still had a waterlogged pitch. I don't know why it's an issue in the UK - we should be used to rain.

 

[valiant15]

I rarely look at the table but just out of interest how many points are we off the drop zone?

 

[ccfc92]

That's my point, we get in a position of success, then it fades, same old ccfc unfortunately

We were 8 before tonight

You're right, the vultures are already circling

 

[valiant15]

Ok ta.

 

[mark82]

8. Much closer than playoffs. We aren't safe that's for sure.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

There are reasons this year though aren't there? Thanks Leon!

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

It's Pressleys decision to have a small squad don't forget.

Not this small.

 

[shmmeee]

That would be 14

What?

 

[NoelWhelanKCIC]

That would be 14

Not that it makes much difference but its 12 as currently stands

Hope they arent paying L Clarke this weeks wages!!

 

[covcity4life]

Yeh think might be time to stop playoff dreams

Let's hope sisu build sp a squad he can use to get promotion next year

As long as noone deducts us points again

 

[runner]

Not a good night for us ... showing our weaknesses and we must focus realistically, on avoiding relegation ... the promotion push is over.

Northampton Council?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

It's always one extreme to the other with this club. Last season we had a massive squad and this season we can barely name a full bench.

 

[shmmeee]

I notice Barton's on. Surprised he's not gone considering he can't get in ahead of a 16 year old these days.

 

[covmark]

I agree, a bad little run, and we could be in the relegation battle.

 

[mark82]

We have won 2 league games since start of December. That isn't form that gets you anywhere near playoffs.

On 60% of income from this season's income.

Don't get your hopes up.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

ft 2-0 - game over

 

[VegetableSamosa]

Full time and a 2-0 lost. Does that mean Orient are only half as good as Arsenal?

 

[shmmeee]

We've got mostly lower table sides left. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad one. We do at least tend to lose against the higher teams I guess.
