we're still MILES off!

we're 6pts off Brighton (same number of games) in the last playoff spot - effectively 7 with their massively better GD

we're 8pts off Forest albeit with a game in hand - even if we win that (no guarantee!) it's 5pts - effectively 6 with gd

we're still 5pts off leicester with a game in hand and MASSIVELY inferior gd


so - stop it now!!!

From here, we need to win all four home games, beat Leicester away, and one of Bristol City or Cardiff away. Given we've won three (I think) all season away from home, I'm not confident!

Seven games left, twenty one points on offer, seventy five points achievable.

I don't see what the problem is.

I see what you're saying, but it really wasnt or I should say, shouldn't have been.

Things like Saturday will happen. But we shouldn't be where we are. If all these players properly applied themselves from game one to now we'd be a lot higher. Feck if we'd played like we have since Dawson came in for the whole season I reckon we'd be pushing Cardiff.

But we haven't. Frustrating. But then some of these have been underperforming with us for several seasons. The fact that many of them were allowed to continue to do so in the summer is what really has hurt us!

Let's not forget where we were four months back or so - could have been a relegation season. Just look at our fellow relegatees - Blackburn and Wolves.

I was at the Valley on Saturday, and left angry because we failed to capitalise on the slip-ups of our playoff rivals. That's better than I could have hoped for when we were 17th after 17. It ain't over til it's over, so let's just enjoy the fact we can theoretically go within three points of a playoff spot tomorrow and get behind the team v Huddersfield.

Just got my tickets now. Since when did we do Under 23 prices? Thought it was always U21 for home games?

They have added it for the forthcoming season tickets.

True, they are not in form but that seems to mean nothing in this league, especially in the final third of the season.

I went to theirs and we should have won easily, looked a class apart at times but only bagged a point. Then again Birghton have out played us for a game and half and only got a point off us. So basically who knows?

SmokinFrazier wrote:The issue for us is our away form. If every remaining game of the season was at home, I'd be confident of getting in the play off spots but our away form is terrible. We've got 5 points from our last 6 away games. If we did manage to improve away, there's a chance we could go up, but that sort of form is very poor.
Not sure I would, we haven't put teams away convincingly apart from Hull (which I managed to miss!) and have ridden our luck bigtime in some of those wins, Brighton particularly. When you look at it we haven't been good enough even in a division with no outstanding teams and we don't deserve to go up. I can see whoever does win the playoffs getting botty-spanked next season. Maybe we'll go up in much better shape in a year's time.

Supremely confident??!

We'll win. Eagles will score.

Mears and Ricketts out so Butterfield is playing. Hadn't realised Mears was that ill. Freedman obviously doesn't fancy Riley then...(assuming he doesnt play and isnt injured?).

Riley not being injured is one big assumption Dibs.

Thanks for that -had missed it completely.
If Dougie doesn't want to throw Butterfield into the team maybe he'll think that now is the time to play three at the back

Wasn't that bloke that we loaned off of Norwich also called Butterfield? Are Butterfields the new Davies's? :?
