Last year I left the Chorley match obviously disappointed but also hugely optimistic about this year as I felt that actually we were the better team/squad....just everything went against us that day and the team was so tired it was painful to watch. I wanted to run on to the pitch myself to give them a fresh pair of legs !! And I predicted (on this site) that based on their style of football that day they would come straight back down. So yes, it needs luck and yes being tired is a real issue. But even if we don't go up, I remain optimistic for the future.
That said, I think these play off's will be more random than usual as its impossible to know how the past 3 or 4 months has affected the players and team dynamics.
