Just throwing this question out there...
Does anybody in this board actually think Bucks will turn this around and make the finals?
I think he has no chance.
Yep. It is very much still possible.
There are 19 rounds of football left. It is a long season, and we are only 3 rounds in. (We may have fallen flat on our face at the first hurdle... but this is a steeplechase, not a 110m sprint... to stay with the hurdles analogy)
We would need at least 10 (most likely 11) wins to make it.
That's not a particularly more difficult task than winning 11, or 12, out of 22.
Our results and our form has been shit, but our actually W-L record is not really a problem at this stage. I think most would've tipped us to be 1-2 at this stage given our opposition - just disappointing that we lost comfortably to a team we should of beat, and only just got over the line against a team that is struggling just as much as us.
Obviously we have to turn it around, and we have to do so quickly... but couldn't really have asked for a much better schedule to be heading into at a time like now. The next couple of months is the period the team MUST turn this around, and that starts this weekend.
By Round 8 we may well be 5-3. (I would tip at least 4-4, and I very, very much doubt it will be less than 3-5... if it is then Bucks could very well be gone). Get to that point, and suddenly anything can happen, and we should at least be in a position to be competing for the 8.
