............OR, IS HE JUST PLAYING IT VERY COOL?
Just saw the post-match interview with Tilly and was interested to see his response when pressed about the chances of getting to the play-offs. He was being very coy, virtually not wanting to answer the question and the commentator even had to suggest that we will continue to take each game as it comes. So, was he trying to ease the pressure off his players or has he had a good look at the League table and realised that the task is virtually mission impossible?
Failing a collapse of dramatic proportions.....Leicester, Peterborough, MKD and Millwall are realistically.....out of reach. To catch any of these teams would require TWO miracles ....1) Us carrying on virtually unbeaten. 2) Whilst, at the same time, them going in to self-destruct mode.
That leaves us with Scunthorpe and Leeds......three and four points ahead of us with two games in hand. The former with the majority of games at home and the latter on a good run of form.
As I have already said, I think it is a tremendous effort that the season is still alive going into April..........today is almost as important to us as last night. MKD HAVE to get a result at Leeds and Scunthorpe HAVE to slip up against the Ewes.......AT LEAST ONE OF THESE TEAMS HAVE TO START DROPPING AWAY......PDQ!
For a couple of weeks I have been starting to getting this sneaking feeling, that even the famous 76 points will, sadly, not be enough..........
this afternoon will go a little way to answering these doubts.
