Yes, improbable. We weren't just talking about this weekend's fixtures, smiley, but the last 3 games.so not improbable then?
Doncaster pretty much have to win. Would therefore say a draw would be a great result for us. That would then make for an excellent little run of results (2 wins and a draw).We will not beat Donny away I am pretty confident of that - we may scrape a draw but it will not be enough.....
it is too little too late, that being said we should still be pushing for three wins regardless to end the season in
a positive fashion.
Yeah. Piece of piss isn't it!All the teams above us but below 6th, have better records than us over the last 3 games. All have won at least 2 out of their last 3 games (Scunthorpe won all 3) and none have lost a game. The only team to have lost one of their last 3 games is us. Gillingham (6th) are on a terrible run and have not won in 5 games, so they are very vulnerable. But to expect us to overhaul the four teams above us and Gillingham would require a complete reversal of form for the four clubs above us, and Gillingham to continue their poor run. But regardless of all this we will have to win all of our remaining games, and preferably by enough goals that we exceed Gillingham's goal difference (currently 18 to our 16).
Why does it baffle you? Are you not a fan, are we not allowed to dream and hope!! I have never said we are nailed on and i fully appreciate how difficult it will be, however we differ because while there is a chance i will still look positively to that. Looking at Gillingham's last games i can most definitely see them losing both. I look at Barnsley and feel strongly that Sheff U can beat them on Saturday.If that happens then winning our last 3 means Sheff are out of it and Barnsley have to go to Wigan to get a result!! . Scunthorpe have 2 difficult away games, they only have to slip up once and we are above them. So not impossible and certainly not requiring a miracle. CAN WE NOT JUST AGREE TO DISAGREE AND YOU STOP PISSING ON MY CHIPS LOL!!I just can't see how anyone can say that what is needed is anything but improbable. Baffles me as to why anyone would say anything different, smiley.
Fine to still dream and have hope it all falls in place, but that is just fanciful thinking and the reality is that it needs an incredible string of events to take place.
Gillingham and Barnsley can both only win once out of their last 3 games and if they do win 1 of the 3 they have to lose both the other 2.
We also have to win all 3 games.
I agree strongly with this very good post.Why does it baffle you? Are you not a fan, are we not allowed to dream and hope!!

What baffles me is why people who say they ae supporters would throw in the towel when there is a chance, no matter how remote, that we could make it.
I don't think it is people throwing in the towel, they are just being realistic.
But isn`t dreaming about your team winning the league, getting promoted, going to Wembley etc etc a major part of being a football fan. For me that`s the whole point. I am 55 and have being following the Sky Blues for 50 years. Every year i dream its our turn and in 1987 it was. I still dream we will get promoted this season. Will we, probably not, but i still dream.
Donny Rovers on Saturday.Local game for me. If we win we send them down, fantastic !!!!
Abso bloody lutely! Spot on. It's just realism. Fine to hope we can do it, but we have to accept that it is the very slimmest of slim chances.I don't think it is people throwing in the towel, they are just being realistic.
Makes me wonder if we needed 6 points to avoid the drop with 3 to play people would just think "fuck it...we're down."...

Yep, but I'm not worried about that because I am winning the Euro Millions on Fridaydont chat shit otis or you will get banged
no one is asking you to dream, but you feel the need to post to everyone who does.
its very improbable. so what? until 5pm Saturday its also possible.
This is not that though is it. We need 9 points, not 6, but then also need 5 other teams to not get enough points either.Makes me wonder if we needed 6 points to avoid the drop with 3 to play people would just think "fuck it...we're down."...
There is an outside chance Millwall and Gillingham could play each other on the last day both with 72 points... Our goal difference will be better than both if we go into the last game on 69 points.
We've probably got a 2-3% chance of the playoffs
That's a very brave statement!If we win all 3 we will get into the playoffs.
Yep, but I'm not worried about that because I am winning the Euro Millions on Friday
No I don't, of course I don't!you are? that sounds like you are assuming something highly improbable
you really dont get what dreaming about football success is do you? so sad
Yep, but I'm not worried about that because I am winning the Euro Millions on Friday
