Fans target the play-offs

Last updated : 04 June 2005 By Luke Thornhill
For the past fortnight we have invited site users to tell us where they want United to aim in the League next season.

Manager Brian Laws has set his sights on a play-off finish, while the bookmakers have the Iron down for a relegation fight - but they thought that last season.

Almost half of those who voted - 47.9 per cent - said United should aim for a play-off finish.

That would mean the Iron's highest League finish since 1965/66. In fact, merely avoiding relegation would equate to the best League position since 19966/67.

Almost a quarter (21.3 per cent) would settle for a mid-table finish, with a rather optimistic 18.1 per cent asking for the title.

Although thinking positively were 6.4 per cent who reckoned on a second placed finish again, while 4.9 per cent - which we can maybe explain on opposition fans - think a bottom four finish and a swift return to League Two is on the cards.
