Sorry but they have every chance. They have a very good team and a very good manager. I believe they will comfortably get autos and we will need a minimum of 88 points to be above them. Without doubt our biggest rivals for top. Even though I think it will be a Cardiff , Watford top 2 I wouldnt bet against them taking top spot. Our games in hand are Boro away and Leicester home. Not easy at all. Plus we have to go to Watford and Hull.
I agree hilts. The thing in our favour though is that games are running out. I've said a few times now. I can see one, but not 2 teams clawing us back. Brum sneaking a point today would be good.
Watford's 4 remaining games in March look comfortable for them - Sheff Wed, Blackpool, Barnsley and Burnley - and three of the four are at home. It's the start of April that will sort it out. Watford are away to Hull and then home to us. If they get through March with some decent wins against the lower league teams they face, those two game will be massive for us. This isn't over by any means, but if we can get at least a point today, it still leaves Watford to do the biz - it can be a thankless task playing catch up.
If we win seven of our thirteen games it doesn't matter what anyone else does. That's where our focus should be. As Malky says let's take one game at a time. I agree so go and win the next seven.
It is time to quietly accept results that go our way as anything else can easily come back to haunt us. It is clear which clubs will now feature in the race for auto but only our own games will get us one of those places. We cannot get the two auto places so one club we need not worry about rather it is the gap to 3rd spot that will be important. jck
Well they slipped up yesterday, only managing a 1-1 draw with Wolves. Bit by bit we're getting there...
Take a look at Sheffield Wednesday's recent form: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/table DJ doing a great job there by the look of things - only 1 loss in their last 10 games.
Quo - if DJ takes a point at Watford next Tuesday, I'll forgive him for costing us a playoff spot in that last game of the season 3 years back AGAINST Wednesday. If he takes all three, I'll offer him my body.........
