What chance Play Offs?

[sussexdiamond]

With a couple of weeks break Sandy and supporters have time to assess our league performances to date and any chance of making the play offs.

If Jezeph can stay for rest of season and back four remain free from injury or suspension then we have no need to strengthen that area. Although another CB would be useful back up.

Midfield is pretty thin with no credible back up players,so an experienced head would be very useful.

Upfront we do have Bruno firing on all cylinders, but Tyler is a bit in and out,he should be our leading goalscorer by far but misses too many chances, I'm not suggesting we replace him though.

Right wing is our weak link. Presumably Davies will be returning to Posh and Poku,Graham and Russell offer little alternative.

To make a push for the play offs we need at least an average of 2 points a game.

So let's sign a midfielder and a couple of forward players and we are in with a fair chance of at least taking our season into the final few matches.

What do you think?

Couple of points - feel you are being a bit harsh on Tyler as he hasn't squandered too many chances and has created vital goals from nothing.
We definitely need some CB cover and a replacement for Davies if/when he goes back to Posh. Russell has looked lively in the brief appearances he's made so far but I agree that is a potential weak area.
If Ty Ward gets fit again soon (if it is an injury) it gives us another option.
Not sure about playoff chances this season really - I think we'd really need to improve our consistency.
There have been some enjoyable games this season - long may it continue.

I can see us finishing top 10 this season, my hope is that we can keep this squad together next season and unlock the consistency needed to make the playoffs next season.

Personally, I think our starting 11 is really strong right now, it'd be nice to see Ollie Brown Hill return after his injury (which I guess won't be until the Summer anyway). Backup options are a little weaker but I'd assume that comes with trying to be competitive within our budget.

Regardless of what happens, it's been a great change this season to be looking towards the play-offs rather than survival
