- Yes, agreed about our chances on Weds (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 09:49:26
  - Not worried about Charlton. I fully expect is to win there (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 16, 10:07:12
    - Depends what starting line up is available after the midweek game (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 10:13:34
    - That’s fucked us then (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 16, 10:07:51

  - my biggest concern would the effect on young players (NCFC) - paulg, Mar 16, 10:10:21
    - It didn't really do any damage in 2019/20 or 2021/22 (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 10:21:46
  - This is true, but of course (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Mar 16, 10:04:27
    - And one more thing, specifically for this season, is that it would be such a (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Mar 16, 10:08:06
      - I'd like a day at wembers; lose narrowly (but not to scum); win title next year (NCFC) - paulg, Mar 16, 10:13:35
  - I know what you mean, but we might as well as pack up (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 10:03:22
    - And Leeds (so far) (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Mar 16, 11:35:52
  - We’d spend the most we’ve ever spent if promoted (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 09:51:34
    - We spent the most we ever had last time we were promoted I think? (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Mar 16, 10:05:47
      - Maybe, but on a net basis it was feck all given how much came in from the Buendia sale (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 10:15:08
- We need to catch up 9 point on Wrexham in 9 games (NCFC) - jAC, Mar 16, 09:44:39
  - Thats doable but Saints are the team in form chasing playoffs (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 16, 10:03:51
    - We need to win every game (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 16, 11:06:22
      - Yes I agree its unlikely but Wrexham have 9 left. Assuming say 1.5 points per game (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 16, 15:10:02
- Realistically I think we are already in a playoff situation in that respect (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Mar 16, 09:41:05
- Southampton are good and it would be a remarkable win if we could (NCFC) - norwaay, Mar 16, 09:38:25
  - More likely chasing Hull than Wrexham? (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Mar 16, 09:48:19
    - Hull are the team at risk I think; the others in the top 6 will stay there probs (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Mar 16, 10:11:27
    - Sadly play owls and Oxford next 2 games (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 16, 10:06:34
      - Oxford 10 points from 12 tbf (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 10:07:57
    - Yes, I wasn’t expecting that, but they look a bit ropey (NCFC) - APB, Mar 16, 10:03:28
      - They've looked shit every time I've seen them (even when they've won) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 10:04:42
        
        All of the sides up there look sh*t. This season was a major opportunity. Sadly we (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 16, 10:09:37
        
        I think if Ipswich had a good striker or two they'd be top tbf (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 10:22:33
        
        You say the same thing every season (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 10:18:19
        
        including the seasons when we have been relegated (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Mar 16, 10:30:07
        
        True to say we'd be top 4 with PC all season though (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 10:24:20
