The run in games

[Colgofray]

Chorley A - 0 points
I predict...
Spennymoor H - 3 points
Brackley A - 1 Point
Altrincham A - 3 points
Bradford H - 1 point
FC Utd A - 3 Points
Leamington H - 3 Points
Southport A - 0 points
Guiseley H - 3 Points

17 Points

Looks like a very optimistic points return to me. Think around 10 points would be a more realistic points haul from these games. However, if you're right Ograzebrook (and I hope you are), then 17 would almost certainly get us that final 7th berth play-off spot.

Presuming you posted before Spennymore, will you revise up your prediction Colgofray?

Hey, hang on a sec ograzebrook. I certainly won't be 'revising up' my prediction on the back of Saturday's win. As I said in my post, I certainly hope you are right and we can amass a further 14 points from our remaining games and make the play-offs. However, I'm surprised you've actually made these predictions. Looking back, your track record in the Predictions League at the beginning of the season was none too impressive i.e. only 1 point from the first 6 predictions you made. Nonetheless, I was disappointed that you chose to drop out of the PL so soon, though to be honest, my record isn't anything to write home about either . Perhaps we should take into account the current PL leader - Lovejoy. He's even more positive than you by predicting Harriers will win every game this month. Now that is confidence for you. Let's hope he's got it spot on.

You've got me there. I'm sticking to my guns though.

Only one point behind my esimations...I still think we are right in it.

Just love your optimism ograzebrook

18 points to play for - if we win all games we will finish with 71 points - Chorley already on 73 so the only definite thing is we won't win the title - well not this year.

Just getting to the play-offs now would be an achievement although I have no real belief we would be promoted via them having seen the Chorley and Brackley performances and both of them will be play-off contenders.

Alty and Telford both have two games in hand and 3 points and 1 point respectively in front of us......The away game at Altrincham is pivotal; anything less than a win and its game over play off-wise......

Indeed - pivotal is the word, just as Spennymore was, and we got through that one. Believe.

We've played a blinder in making them both think we are weak and thus luring them into the trap of false expectations. We will rise like a phoenix from the flames in the play offs.

[Sheffield Harrier]

I'd be amazed if we made the play-offs.

After we beat Nuneaton I had a look at the run in games and where each team was in the table and unfortunately couldn't see us making it. Not a lot has happened since to change that view I'm afraid.

Sadly not so Owen - we did not play a blinder making them think we are weak - we are just simply weak.

In previous seasons when we have achieved the play-offs I have thought we stood a decent chance of winning the games and progressing. This season it is different - the achievement will be just reaching the play-offs - progressing beyond that is way beyond optimistic bearing in mind we won't even have a home advantage.

Reality is we have finished lower in the league in the last four seasons and I am desperately trying to find something that will make me think we are going to reverse that gradual decline. I must admit that at the moment I am struggling.

On the plus side, we shall all have the chance to watch a bit of early-season cricket this year.

Every cloud, and all that.

Seems like they have played a blinder on everyone...

Owen you definitely need to attend an away game and soon?

[Tamworth Harrier]

The last time we were excellent away from home was at Telford. Excellent defensive performance where the three central defenders were Horsfall Heaton and Higginson.
