After today's results if we don't beat them we are at least 7 points adrift.
I'm actually confident we will beat them.

As this stage it's actually easier to win the play-off's than it is to get top two ...

... I'd love to see these players at Wembley playing proper football.

Anything rather than hear about Burnley's clean sheets <doh>

Sheff u are not dropping points and have the strikers to get them up we might make 3rd on about 82 points but need about 92 points for top 2 and that won't happen because of too many dropped points, Sheff U have to go to Burnley, Plymouth, they have Leeds, cov, Blackburn, home so could slip up. leeds will win every home game get to 98 points on the plus side we have the best team other than Sheff U and Leeds, in fact i wish the play offs were next week with a fully fit team available.

Even by your own ‘I’m on mushrooms’ standards the self contradiction in this post is mind boggling.
 
realistically every single game is a 'must win' but i would never complain too much about an away draw...pretty sure leeds are up unless they screw it up themselves so three left for the other auto (unless we all screw it up ourselves) with burnley seemingly more bothered about not conceding rather than scoring and SU somehow just doing enough and our lads starting to get it together again it's too hard to call but good to watch, i think.
 
Realistically i think its playoffs, i think Leeds will go up automatically, there the only side who have out played us & are capable of playing with high energy/ tempo which at this level will create chances & win you games

BUT, things can change quickly in football, form isnt necessarily permanent.

Theres a decent gap at the moment & to a certain extent we need to stop looking (although its hard not to try to work out how it will play out) at other teams results, very frustrating we have dropped off a little & very frustrating its as a result of points dropped from them to home games. The only thing we can influence is winning our own games, players are coming back from injury, fingers crossed we finally have some luck & they remain injury free until the end of the season

No side will win all their remaining games, others will drop points, were up against it, but if players coming back hit the ground running no reason we cant finish the season off the way we started, if nothing else we will go close.

we play the last of the top 4 Monday, were capable of winning although a draws a decent result, after the Leeds game we really do need to get on with it, automatic or not, we need good form no matter which way this goes now & always would have,......we need go on a winning run of games

They might not admit it.....think the sensible side of leeds fans might think a draws a decent result for them, theres a lot of pressure really that this is a must not lose game for them or it drags us back into the mix

I've been saying, for a while, that our run in after Leeds is as good as you could hope for.

Add to that our squad is better than it's been all season and who knows.

We've had so many seasons of unexpected 'last minute drama' there's no reason this can't be another.

At this point, with Roy Keane, we hadn't been in the top six at any point.

I remember going to Luton where we thought we'd be going up second.

Birmingham were a point ahead and all they had to do was beat a Preston side with nothing to play for.

The Championship trophy was at Deepdale, decked with blue & white ribbons, ready for their lap of honour ...

... they lost, we won and had to make do with Noz's hat <laugh>
