    I read the other day, that Cornick is returning from injury so not to expect too much yet from him.

    I know that it also takes a while to gel with new players, so will give him the benefit.. I was just watching his positioning when we have the ball, just looks a bit lost..

    I agree.. was really disappointed against Cardiff that we didn’t get anything from the game.. we are having to switch it around a bit because of injuries which is not ideal.
    We do tend to switch off or lose concentration giving opposition chances.. we got away with a couple today.. something we need to address although much better than we have been before new year run..

    Again by far the better side as we were against Cardiff and Huddersfield but struggled to score.
    Today against Blackpool we huffed and puffed then finally scored two.
    Imagine if we had taken 6 point from those last two games would be very interesting now.

    16 points off relegation and 9 points off the Playoffs.
    30 more points up for grabs.

    It won’t, and we are nowhere near ready for it.

    Nail in the coffin if we lose to Luton.......but at least we are more or less safe from the drop which looked a bit dodgy before the start of the year..

    Well done Nige and the lads
    Almost safe now
    Consolidate this season, hopefully strengthen the squad in the Summer and push on again next season

    YEP but doesnt actually work like that how it works is currently we have to score 9 points + better gd or 10 pts better than 6th team currently Millwall [ consideration is 10 pts+ or better than 3rd 4th and 5th ] If Norwich win game in hand then it will be 10 or 11!

    Maths never was my strong point, but don’t we also have to score more points than all the teams between 6 th place & us? , for instance if we score 10 points more than Millwall (who are 6th), but Sunderland also score 10 points more than Millwall , Sunderland who are a point above us at the moment, will still be a point above us, so they will be 6th and we’ll be 7th.

    Spot on besides scoring more points than those in top 6, .... currently it is Millwall, as the post says we have to score 10 more points than 6th which is currently 57 points [ 58 if Norwich win ] of course other teams will be doing the same, most teams have 30 points to play for. It is impossible for all the teams above us to do as we do because some play each other [ 1 team might get the 3 pts or they get 1 each ] As it says " YEP but doesnt actually work like that how it works is currently we have to score 9 points + better gd or 10 pts better than 6th team"
    Norwich /WBA/Coventry could go on a winning streak of 4 games 12 points we go un defeated run and win 2 draw 2, 6th team could then be on 65 we would be on 56... it is impossible for us to get top 6 unless we win 9 games losing to Burnley!

    For a club like ours that’s almost inevitable I’m afraid

    A catastrophic 10 results needed to either take us the promise land [ top 6 ] or sink us like the Bismarck into LGE 1
