Stat Attack!

13 points to make up on the current leaders which means we have to hope they drop at least 7 points in their remaining 14 games if we win our two in hand, starting tomorrow at Eastleigh.....and obviously there is a potential 6 pointer in there....

Macc and Brovers will both have 6 to make up if they win their game in hand

Barnet have dropped 16 points in their last 14 league games  

Macc have dropped 13 points in their last 14 league games

Brovers have dropped 14 points in their last 14 league games

We have dropped 13 points in our last 14 league games

Kiddy have dropped 22 points in their last 14 league games

Eastleigh have dropped 15 points in their last 14 league games (and are starting to see a fixture pile up)

With the above form continuing all the top teams currently wont catch Barnet over the remaining games although Macc and Brovers and ourselves will run them to a point or two.

Do we go sh1t or bust for the title and go all out win every game with the potential for being a slightly disappointed bridesmaid having to be in the play offs again or man manage our squad into the play offs developing a strategy to turn the squad into a ruthless 3 game winning unit for the end of season?  

Balls out for the title. We need momentum going in to the play offs rather than the stumble into them like the last two years, should the title push fail.

We have to play Rovers and Barnet.  We also have new players.  We can improve for the rest of the season.  

If this is not good enough for top spot, then lets at least finish in the top 2 for the playoffs.  The last 2 years we have not played well at home first and have then been beaten in the away leg.  We need to try a new approach.

I plagarised this from the Eastleight site, who nabbed it from the Barnet messageboard - (The +/- relates to games in hand on Barnet).  Shows a novel slant on possible season end positions:

Do we go sh1t or bust for the title and go all out win every game

IMO we should have been doing this from game one!

Don't get saving something for future games, they don't matter until they come around

These stats show why we are 4th and not top. Most attempts at goal in the league, yet it takes us just under 8 attempts per goal, compared to 5.5 attempts by Barnet and 4.5 by Eastleigh.

Of course we should but unfortunately me and thee arent managing the team and PH has traditionally not shared such a mindset
