Well, What do people think.....can we catch them?
Personally I dont think we have a hope in hell, so I have voted no.....but you never know.

Too far ahead to catch.
Play offs are within our reach, nice to get there as the form team!!

The question is can, not will, so had to vote yes! It is a very tough ask, but seem to remember us being 10/11 points clear at the top of league 2 only to just scrape into the play offs come the end of the season! Looking at Burton's fantastic run, out of the top teams, they only beat Stevenage and Cambridge at home, so more about consistently perhaps? Although, they have a very hard run in during April with Crawley, Histon, Kidderminster, Oxford and of course us on the last day with perhaps our postponed fixture to feature in somewhere there, it will matter for naught if they are still 18 points clear at this stage! Maybe their February and early March fixtures of Rushden, Ebbsfleet, Wrexham, Woking and Cambridge will tell us whether we will have a fighting chance. I would quantify a fighting chance as maybe a nine point deficit at the start of April. That would give us two months to make up nine points including using one game in hand. Head says no but heart is still dreaming......  |

It is possible and while the gap looks very big now, a few defeats for then an the two games we have to play them, we could just do it.

I voted yes because due to the points still to play for, they are.Do I think we will catch them? well anything can happen and I think you could get good odds on us doing so, must be worth a bet to those who like longer odds.

The heart says yes, the head says no. Ive voted Yes as it is still possible but a tough ask.

It would be bloody lovely and it is possible BUT won`t happen so forget it. Just another season where we get money from cup runs and player sales and only threaten. Please oh please make me eat my words!!

I think we can catch Burton but... We need to improve our home form big time.
The table doesn't lie, we've played 14 games at Plainmoor sofar and we've only won 7 of them.
Simply not good enough.

Can they be caught? Yes.
Will they be caught? Unlikely.
Will it be us that catches them? I wouldn't put money on it.
I've already come to the terms that TUFC will have to settle for the play-offs. Lets just hope we actually qualify for them!
