Have I missed something there because I can't quite see how that post is absolutely stupid mate? "we have no realistic expectation to win promotion." 2nd in the league, just 6 points off automatic promotion, undefeated in 14?games, lost 1 in 26?games. About 10 points clear of 6th place, yet he posts we have no realistic expectations to win promotion. I very much expect us to win promotion. So IMO! it's a absolutely stupid post. I stand to be corrected it is an absolute stupid post , I misread the post , sorry

Fully expecting us to be level on points by 17.50 31st January, that is with Grimsby and Halifax beating Barnet, who only win versus Southport. We, in the meantime pick up 9 points from Woking, Braintree and Dartford Southport, who've won five of their last seven away games in the league...

I think / hope that the 21st feb will define our season and we hopefully will top the table at that point , I've looked at ours and barnets fixtures between now and then and both have tricky fixtures but hopefully we will be in pole by then and kick on in the last 8

On crest of a wave. In January. Methinks you were expecting it before.. Why is it stupid to post caution? Surely it's more prudent to be hopeful of realistic shout of promotion and not to get carried away with the expectation, because: I) we have been here before and imploded. II) there is all of football to be played between now and then. III) we just don't know whom is coming or going yet. With so many invariables, which I the more stupid post? The one of hope (as I submit) or the one of expectation? UptheGas..

No idea what point you are trying to make, I doubt many fans feel getting promotion is going to be easy but at least for once in 25 years we can feel it's a possibility at the turn the year, what's the issue with that?
If ultimately we don't go up at least most of us will have enjoyed the ride, unlike you it seems.

It's been brilliant travelling to new places and not meeting hostility for one. I can just see that expectation levels rise and it's not fair. Understandable but not fair. I'm still hopeful of promotion and the thrust of my thread was trying to subtly illustrate the difference between being hopeful and expectant of realistic promotion qualities..

Yep, or the team that are 14th in the form table (last 6 games) I tried to be realistic, eg not have Barnet lose all 3

Akinde must be a top target for a 1st or 2nd div club. We mustn't forget that?

Nothing can go wrong now. I'm already planning my trip to Morecambe next season.
