No but we should try to. What we need is to have a platform where we don't need to do too much in the Summer. And we need to have a team with bite. It is essential in this league.
No. But if you follow the Ipswich example (oh how we all laughed at them for a few years buying everyone up to still be 11th and 12th for a few years) i'll take a positive end to the season.
We are just having a proper run up for next season so lets get into the winning habit and keep attracting players that have done it before.
Ok I will stick my neck out ask why not ??? If we string 4/5 straight victories starting tomorrow things can look very different
Because in 20 games we have to secure 20 more points than what Oxford / Barnsley do, and better than every other team in between, some we are giving up 16 points head start
Yes we can... My Mummy told me that you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it - Its why I have a date with Margot Robbie tomorrow, although I've had to stop her escaping five times already.

Until it’s mathematically impossible we have nothing to lose by aiming for it.
We would however need to go on a fantastic run and lose no more than 3-4 of the remaining 20 games to end with over 70 points (with most of the other 16 being wins)
assuming that 75 points is enough we would have to win 15 out of 20 games remaining just for playoffs btw so err yeah... realism is required I think this season, as good as the window has been.
Bringing new players in to a struggling team can be difficult for them to blend in. Or in another way, what is to say these guys will be a success? We have got a s*** February coming up and I would not be surprised if our points return is not what we want. Sorry to put a dampner on today's euphoria.

Oi you had a bad day, lighten up, there’s plenty of others on here waiting to p155 on our chips 😉
The important thing now is not being relegated and start building for next season. We will not make the playoffs but we should be able to give it a good go. This will tell us a lot about Appleton’s ability with better players.
As excited as I am by all these new signings there is no way we are making the play offs, there is no guarantee that all the new players will gel and even if they do it could be a few weeks before we see them settled in and at their best, we should keep looking over our shoulder to make sure we maintain the gap between us and the teams below us, have a good look at the players we’ve brought in during the remainder of the season then make any necessary adjustments to the squad in the next window and give a real go next season.
I'm in the camp of let's get safe first then start to look in closer detail at what we bought and if any of the loans are worth a punt in the summer.
What is definitely not in doubt now is that Mickey boy can't hide behind injuries and kids... so the next few games will be interesting, failure to still win games will see him replaced no question.

Top 10 would be good going.

Results we'd need to hit the average amount of points needed for the top six. It's a big ask.
Bloody upstaging me with fancy charts....
Typical media!
