It seems that in this division, any team can beat any other team and that is why so many teams are still vying for those top seven spots.
The question is, have we squandered too many chances to possibly get into the playoffs ourselves? We have twelve games still to play but up to now our problem has been a lack of consistency. Also, the worrying thing is out of those twelve games we still have to play the top four teams.
I would really like to reach the playoffs but feel that with all the injuries we have and the the difficult run in, it is a step too far and too late.

The reason why so many teams are beating each other is because there are so many crap teams in this league and we are one of them because we are so inconsistent, our injuries can basically be put down to signing unfit injury prone dross, we have a nucleus of talented players who lack some experience and will no doubt be off at the end of the season. can we make the playoffs.. No our form is awful away from home and poor at home, our tactics are boring and predictable, that’s down to one person!

Look at the form of the teams in the playoffs lol : https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/na ... outh/table

Literally none of them have won more than three of their past six games.

3-4 good weeks and we can get in there. Bet we don't though.

Top five is highly unlikely and if we scraped into the play-offs in sixth or seventh all of our games would be away. Bearing in mind our away record we'd just be adding a an extra game or two to no real consequence

If we did squeeze in to the Playoffs on the final day of the season, I would put a small wager now on us getting knocked out by Hornchurch via a late Rees or Balanta winner Away from home

If we think the Daggers are inconsistent then spare a thought for Enfield supporters who after winning 5 nil the next game lose 8 nil.
A play off place for the Daggers is not impossible but highly improbable. Could be an interesting run in if we get a winning run going COYD
