Play-off/relegation watch.

Isn't it pretty much a given in L1 that the vast majority of teams are made up of dross and those whose "star players" fire more than others end up nearer the top. Very few sides play massively attractive football at this level as the risk/reward is to skewed toward risk to do so due to players making more mistakes.

Think you can circumvent it with a well-drilled side, but I covered that broadly in no structure, no drive.

There's a fair few who play more attractive football than we do.

More attractive does not equal attractive tough.

It's a functional/attritional league - always has been, probably always will be.

The kind of stuff to make you want to pull your hair out, we`ve been far from impressive but we still sit 4 points outside the play-offs with a game in hand having shipped 4 needless points in a matter of days through awful negative tactics.

Even with the disappointment of the week, our most recent form is played 5, 8 points.

It’s mildly short of most teams in the playoffs

Bolton 9
Stockport 10
Bradford 9
Huddersfield 7

It’s better than over half the pack below us

Stevenage 6
Wycombe 10
Luton 7
Plymouth 9
Peterborough 7

But that pack is starting to thin out, gaps appearing below that.

In any case, the form were basically after is 2 points per game I.e. turning one missed opportunity into a win. Hit that, we make the playoffs.

I’ll look at how we’re matching last season some point this week.

I was looking at rolling 6 game ppg yesterday. And Richardson has been very consistent at about 1.7/1.8 ppg with short 2.2 and 1.3 blips.

Hunt was steadily improving from the 0.8 we started the season, but struggled to maintain or better 1.5.

Saturday is a must win game no excuses . Squad has only a couple of injuries draw no good , have to attack both halves can not have the dross from the last 3 games

Is it? What if we lose?
