Us and the play offs

This season certainly doesn’t have the feel of the playoff charge that we had under Alex Neil when I think it was pretty clear that we would have a very, very good chance of going up and confidence was sky high.

I can’t though really remember what the vibe was like heading towards the end of the season in the Worthy play off season. Were we pretty buoyant with high (realistic) expectations or more a mood of that we’d actually done pretty well to get into the playoffs?

        Bloody hell had put that out of my mind (n/m) (NCFC) - littletinyphil, Apr 16, 12:20:11

    - We only got in based on having scored one more goal than Burnley, didn’t we? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Apr 16, 12:33:26
      - Yes, didn’t it take a while after final whistle to find out? (NCFC) - littletinyphil, Apr 16, 12:38:58
- Although arguably we are currently playing the best of any of the top 6 sides (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 16, 11:19:12
