Before you give people stick for poo pooing your daft post. Please tell me how in Gods name you expect us with our track record to win automatic promotion. Sutton, Tranmere and Mac are scoring goals for fun. We on the other hand struggle to score one and then we go into our defensive shell and hope we dont concede. The very best we can hope for is to finish in the top 3 to get a home draw in the playoffs. Then maybe with our crowd we can scare the opposition however I think a top 3 finish is highly unlikley. I sincerely hope I am wrong by the way

Ignore the negative ninnies. It’s definitely possible but we’d need to pretty much win every game I’d say.

Am I right that if the league finished exactly as it currently is we would play Dover home in a qualifying game then Tranmere away in semi final?

Think so. Id rather play sutton away in the play offs than Tranmere or Macc. Table will change obviously but last game or two of the regular season, we should be looking at the different scenarios.

Think it would be a massive shock if we did go up as champions. We need 3 teams to slip up and for us not to drop any points for the title to be a possibility. Should Macclesfield win their game in hand and their lead is 8 points over us. It's a long shot that gets longer as the games get fewer.

Tranmere is not that difficult to go and play, get the crowd on their back and they implode. We’ve won their a could of times recently so would be confident on this one.
If it was Macc away I wouldn’t be optimistic at all, we never do fxxx all there !!

I've really tried hard to find the part of my post where I've stated that I expect us to go up automatically. It's obviously there though so must just be missing it. Must try harder!

They've got best home form in the league. I wouldn't fancy it
