Thats not too bad.

Doomed to finish mid-table.

Put another run of wins together and we'll be on the verges of the playoffs, but it's inconcevable we'll be able to match pace with them up to the end of the season.

When we lose near the top, the teams around us are likely to win and we drop back. But when we win, we are likely to pull away from the poor teams at the bottom who lose more often. It's also inconcevable we get sucked back in. It would take more than a poor run of form to put us back in contention for relegation.

It's sad that we have little to hope for. At least last season was exciting.

Would you prefer to be in a relegation battle?

[smilerandy]

still 5 points from playoffs and 13 points from relegation.

A lot to play for.

[maucek]

Disillusuioned.

I thought we had the three points all but wrapped up.

On balance, it feels better to win more games, and the mental torture and anquish of the soul last season wasn't entirely proportional to the mental on the final day, sweet though it was.
