    Why is Robinson getting called out for this? He's not saying we're going to get 70 points - he's just saying that seems to be the minimum target for anyone aiming to get there.

    If you look at the table as it is right now, we need to beat everyone below us and get one point from the five games we have against teams above us (four of which are at home). On that basis, it's not such a hard ask.

    With posh losing if we win today we go 2 points behind 6th (how can people say we are definitely not getting play offs)

    Because we’re utter dogshite, our squad (if you can call it that) is pony and we have been in relegation form for half a season? Where do people buy these rose tinted glasses and how much do they cost?

    And... we’re not winning at the moment.

    And yet we are still only 4 points behind 6th.

    It's not rose tinted glasses it's called belief and support for the team I love

    You’ve contradicted yourself in that sentence. Belief and support for the team you love = rose tinted glasses.

    We’re dogshite. Ignore your belief and support for the team you love and consider if there is a single cogent, rational reason to suggest that we might actually make the play offs. Not a chance!

    After the last few performances we will struggle to get to 60 points let alone 70. I honestly can’t see where another win will come from when you consider most of the remaining teams we are facing will be better than the likes of Fleetwod Town who had the clearer chances to score. Let that sink in for a moment and then ask yourself if we are worthy of a play off place.

    We've currently got 52 points from 36 matches. At our current run rate (18 points from 19 games) we should get to 68 points sometime in September.

    Timing is everything ...

    Think I saw it on twitter but under the news shopper so couldn't post the link.

    KR reckons it will take 70 pts to get into the playoffs.

    We're on 51, 19 pts off. we need to win 6 games and a draw or 7 wins......

    LOL

    We might need to win six but as we have won one of the last six, that's one hell of an ask.

    Not sure where to put this but Bradford lost again tonight. Just looked at their results. Their last win was New Year’s Day!!!

    Since then they’ve only managed 2 points. Draws at home to bottom of the league Bury and you guessed it, 1 point at The Valley.

    You call it belief, everyone else calls it delusional. It has nothing to do with support or love. Move on 8290.

    We'll be moving into papering-over-the-cracks mode.

    Heart says game on, of course we can do this think positive!

    Head says, stop dreaming ,game over, move on, (another wasted) season over.

    I’m going with the 2nd option.

    Can't see us getting much from the four remaining home games against clubs above us that are in good form.

    To get 70 points we will have to win our 6 away games, seeing as one of them is against Shrewsbury who beat us easily the other week I can't see that happening either.

    At this stage. I would be happy to see Charlton reach 56 points & secure League One.

    You have got more chance of a stoic silence from Karl Robinson than his team reaching 70 points.
