    Was thinking the same. Sheff Utd aren't dropping points but are playing such and such so might drop points.

    Sheff Utd a better team? And what is with the striker nonsense he has spouted it for so long he can't snap put of it! Isisor is doing very well yet Monty would still tell you we don't have a strikers to win the match the next time they don't win!

    Not a must win game. It will be difficult to make up the points to 2nd if we lose but football is a funny game. Pressure then goes onto the top 2 and we start playing freely without pressure. Who knows a long way to go even after Monday.

    It's not a must win imo, there's still a long way to go.

    Just got to keep believing

    That seems to be absolutely impossible for some.

    No idea why, it costs nowt and is much more fun than constantly giving up and being miserable.

    Some people would've been banned off our coach tbh, we travelled to nearly every game through periods of absolute shyte ...

    ... but always kept the faith, laughed at the setbacks and had a bloody great time.

    Losing Monday also won't be the end of the world as there are still 14? Games to go.

    We have to strap on the big boy pants and enjoy the ride. If that ride takes us to Wembley and a play off win then so be it.

    I'd rather watch us than that alleged football Burnley play

    They're losing momentum, two wins from the last five games and they were Hull and Oxford.

    Today's performance was pretty cowardly and that's what they're becoming.

    I'm pretty sure that if we win every game we will go up

    Just that it’s been ‘apparent for months’. It’s not even certain now, man.

    It’s nonsense though, isn’t it?

    That it’s been apparent for months that we’d be in the playoffs. We were top months ago.

    .....the last time we were top was November. In the 3 MONTHS that have followed it has become APPARENT that we will end up in the play offs due to the fact that we have not been as consistent as the other teams ahead of us. I'm not sure what bit of that you don't understand.

    Months ago and we blew a lead quicker than we got it. We have been too conservative in too many games and it's meant we have drawn far too many.

    We are win a good position but I do feel it's fair to say that it's been very very likely for play offs for a while.

    We went to QPR (who were struggling big time) 5 points clear at the top and never looked like scoring. Then came 1 win in 8. That’s when things changed

    We went from top to 5 points off from mid November to mid December. Since then we’ve got closer then dropped away. It’s ebbed and flowed but we’ve kept pace with the best teams in the league despite an autumn slump. It’s not been very very likely at all.

    The fact that it’s been ‘apparent’ that we we’re only gonna get playoffs since the first half of the season despite our results and performances. It’s demonstrably bollocks.
