EastleighSoulBoy Posted 14 March, 2011 Posted 14 March, 2011 It would take an absolutely catastrophic end of season collapse to see us miss out on the play-offs. Let's hope we can avoid the lottery they represent though. Anyone for a repeat of 1948-49? Oh! beat me to it
Liquidshokk Posted 14 March, 2011 Author Posted 14 March, 2011 This. I honestly cannot believe that some fans believe that our current position is vastly exceeding their expectations. Cannot wait to make at least second place ours. Don't get me wrong, at the end of last season I was expecting us to go up fairly easily this season but very quickly after all the drama at the beginning of this season I lowered my expectations greatly. Defence mechanism to prevent the fall you see Expectations pre-season aside, Would you at least admit that on the back of everything that has happened this season with sacking manager, wilkins taking over, Markus' passing etc we are in a better position than expected?? I'm sure many thought our chances were gone when all the sh!t was hitting the fan...
Liquidshokk Posted 14 March, 2011 Author Posted 14 March, 2011 Considering the early season mayhem with Markus' sad passing and Pardew's departure I think our current league position is 'good' It's looking like the worst case scenario will be the play-offs but if we can keep this winning run going and eliminate the silly results against the weaker teams then we will pull away from the pack and take the second auto promotion spot behind Brighton Don't get me wrong, at the end of last season I was expecting us to go up fairly easily this season but very quickly after all the drama at the beginning of this season I lowered my expectations greatly.

We aren't in a better position than I expected at all although I am happy with our very recent form and hope it continues until the end of the season to secure second which is the minimum expectation IMO.
saint lard Posted 14 March, 2011 Posted 14 March, 2011 Christ, i get pelters for saying we are underachieving and not living upto expectations. Playoffs will be a really crap return. 2nd place,below par but will have to do.
