On the day possibly the greatest Darts player of all may have played his last game, and without his point-scoring goals we would be way off the playoffs anyway, and who has always been a 'true' Dart giving 110% all the time, what an insult to Bradders.

Think your find he falls into the part time category.....I agree one of our best players of all time but not having him available for all the games handicapped us from the start

Can't call 30 league games this year 'part-time' - only four less than Nobes (def Player of the Year) himself.

At the risk of sounding pedantic … I didn't particularly disagree with anything else you wrote UTD, but whilst I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell that we WILL win our last 3 games, the fact is that if we do we will definitely be in the play-offs, so to describe that as only a "mathematical chance" isn't really fair. By that logic, you could argue that Man City have only a mathematical chance of winning the Premier League! The bottom line is that however poorly we might feel we have performed and however disappointed we may be with recent performances, we have legitimately earned our current position ahead of 14 other clubs. What that says about the strength of those 14 other clubs is another matter, but if by some miracle our team gets itself together and wins the last 3 games then we will DEFINITELY be in the play-offs.

So although I'll be heading down to Eastbourne more in hope than expectation, for one more week at least, we can say that it's in our own hands and if we win enough games we will get promoted. I'm going to keep hanging on to that crumb of hope until it's sucked up by the Hoover of reality.

Unless others throw a wobbly and the Darts find 9 points we could hope to be rummaging around for a play-off spot still. For me the minor miracle is still out there.
It was a poor game Saturday against a poor side. Having said that, we did everything but score. Maybe with Andy back we can find a strategy somewhere to produce goals.
As said Arty, COYD's

Sorry but have I missed summat...Where is Sheringham? Injured presumably?
