We can still win the league.
Obviously if we win our remaining 7 games then fine but may be asking too much.Our only other chance depends on our friends up the road holding Salford this Saturday. If Spenny beat them which they are well capable of doing the way they are playing, then we can afford to lose 1 game and win the rest to finish top. If Spenny hold them to a draw, then we can afforf to only draw 1 game and win the rest to finish top. Our toughest game is away to Northwich which is a massive game for us now and will not be the end of the world if we come away with a draw, but if we can beat them we are well capable of winning the remaining 6.I fancy us to win our home games against Droylsden, Mossley and New Mills and we are capable of winning the 3 other away games at Scarborough, Lancaster and Warrington. Never thought I would say it but come on Spenny, we still have a good chance of doing this.Glass half full time.

If Spenny beat Salford, then this puts them right in the title race,

Re: We can still win the league.
Yes but that's my point, IF Spenny beat Salford we can afford to lose 1 game and win the rest to finish top, Spenny could not overtake us with our goal difference being so good.AndyPark wrote:If Spenny beat Salford, then this puts them right in the title race,

Re: We can still win the league.
I think this 7 out of 7 talk is dangerous stuff. There is nothing in recent form to suggest that this will be achieved. The best we can do is keep on their coat tails so the game tomorrow must go ahead.

Re: We can still win the league.
Take each game as it comes. But on our day, we can beat anyone in this league.
We need the players to be at their best tomorrow. Haway lads.

Re: We can still win the league.
Yes but a lot of people have thrown the towel in on us finishing top, to win every game is a helluva difficult task BUT can be done. My main point is, that we may not need to win every game because I still think Spenny will at least draw with them on Saturday so if we can get something from Northwich it is still wide open.princes town wrote:I think this 7 out of 7 talk is dangerous stuff.

Ron, I do hope you're right because if we don't go up then I feel sorry for poor Pat - the black moods she'll have to put up with.

Re: We can still win the league.
Don't forget that Spenny will now have four games in ten days I believe (maybe) so might opt to rest players for the Salford game, which they are underdogs in, to concentrate on the other games to consolidate their play-off bid. Therefore doing us no favours at all. Just a thought.
Come on Darlo!

Re: We can still win the league.
I think Spenny will think they can win automatic with a win at Salford and rest players for the less difficult games.MikeinBlack2 wrote:Don't forget that Spenny will now have four games in ten days I believe (maybe) so might opt to rest players for the Salford game, which they are underdogs in, to concentrate on the other games to consolidate their play-off bid.

Re: We can still win the league.
Our target at the beginning of the season was the play-offs, I will settle for that, (as you know, I follow Spennymoor).

Re: We can still win the league.
Our target was/is two promotions in three seasons. This is our third season and we've had one promotion - so if we fail to be promoted this season we (Martin Gray) will have failed to achieve the targets set by the Board.billyb wrote:Our target at the beginning of the season was the play-offs, I will settle for that, (as you know, I follow Spennymoor).
Edit: Just read the post properly realising that Billy is a Spenny fan lol.

Re: We can still win the league.
Things were looking good on about 85mins of the Prescot v Salford game. It was 0-0 plus Salford had to go to Scarborough on Saturday but they managed to negotiate that.
Seven straight wins is definitely possible, one game at a time and a run of form has to start somewhere, other clichés like that.
