Does anybody think that well make the Play-Offs.Realistially weve got to beat Bury at Gigg Lane on Tuesday to stand a chance and Then beat Port Vale at Christie on the Saturday.I think that we need to bring back Bentley and Moss and put Parrish and Artell on the Bench.And Give Curtis more starts as he can take Defenders on

i think will finish just outside like last season.
but i will be just happy to be playing L2 football next season in the new Stadium, we just need to get off to a better start next season
and learn our lesson and remember not to have such a hard pre-season like last time, where losing and conceding goals became a bad habit

Unfortunately no. We've only had a week or two in a play off position since we entered L2 and we probably lack that little bit extra to get in there and stay there.
Wouldn't be overly surprised if they proved me wrong though.

I see it like this.
I did not go to the game today, so I don't think I have the right to make any comment on today's game.
Part and parcel of supporting a team is to follow them win, lose or draw.
If they lose, as today, it is disappointing, no more, no less.
We all have the right to an opinion, and the right to express it, but it should not become personal/abusive.
Many times I have looked at others' comments on certain issues, and it has actually made me change my own mind, even when I thought my view was correct.
I think also that we all have to keep things in perspective and keep a sense of humour.
On saying all of the above, yes, it is frustrating when results don't go our way, but surely that is all part of supporting the Shrimps or any other team.

Play-offs? Smay-offs!!
Automatic is still there, although i don't think we're gonna be able to catch Rochdale now.
Ok then, were we are now would be good anything else up from that would be a bonus.
I do reckon though that the next 15 games will be the key

We are not ready for league one, we would struggle, we have achieved safety in the football league, and have a good end of season party, plus a great future at the globe to look forward to

Looking at your defence today, I'm surprise you are anywhere near the play-off's.....you looked very poor today to be honest.

And you Mark S are still the World's Greatest Matchday Announcer!!
I would go to home games to hear your announcements even if :
1. We lost 20 home games on the trot
2. If there were no match being played at all.

We just dont want you to go down, but i feel that when certain players return to cemment the cracks e.g. JB
. The Shrimps will sneak into the play offs ,then who knows eh

We need Jimbos experience at the back. I feel we have a good chance of making the playoffs, we just need to be alot more consistant. We can't go playing amazing against Burton, then playing very poorly against Cheltenham who are 3rd from bottom.

I doubt we'll make the playoffs but even if we did it would be highly unlikely we'd win them.
So with that in mind I'd like to see us at least play with a view to next season. Come July the vast majority of our squad are out of contract, so given we've got a flat four now it would seem to make sense to give a run out to Darren Moss who has another year left to see what he's made of. Perhaps worth having a look at Matty Poole and Rory Winters too. It would also be good to hear some news about new contracts. The only ones on contract next season by my reckoning are Duffs, Loz Wilson, Darren Moss and Will Haining.

id like to give Moss a go, he come to us highly rated but had a nightmare at the start of the season
but to be right about it he's a
FULLBACK and was played as a
WING-BACK and probably for the first time in his career and deserves a fair chance in a now would be familiar back 4

I agree, though it would mean dropping Parrish who has been the revelation of the season given his form when he first joined us.

well it's like this lets see how the next few weeks go
then if it looks like the play-offs are a long shot, just like Posh is getting at, we should look to build for next season and look at the players we have
