Fair play to Sheff Wed mind. They were 12 points behind us and down in 8th after we beat them 5-0… They’ll be the favourites for the play-offs (if they don’t sneak top 2!) IMO.
All in our hands .... 1 Wigan 43 36 88 2 Rotherham 43 34 83 3 MK Dons 44 27 83 4 Sheff Wed 43 25 79 5 Plymouth 44 25 79 6 Wycombe 44 22 77 7 Sunderland 43 21 77
It’s absolutely mental that we aren’t in the playoff positions, but if we’d won just two of the games we’ve drawn this season, automatics would have been mathematically in our hands
Exactly, time to forget Johnson and everything else, just get behind the team, the manager and the club. We can be promoted by winning just a handful of games ... ... which is a much better situation than we were in at the start of the season
All I can say is its frigging tight every point we have dropped, every goal we have let in is hurting us right now. Got to win all our remaining games... no square pegs in round holes, no weird formations, and we must play to our strengths..
Just had a very quick look and I reckon we can be promoted by winning three more games ... ... am I right?
Win the next 2 and pile the pressure on the others for the final game and we could still get automatics. 100/30 to finish 2nd
yup, there is no guarantee anyone else will look after theirs to incidentally help us in this league. Wigan, Rotherham, MKDons & Plymouth have accumulated just 8 points from their last 3 games….. ShefWed, Wycombe, us & Oxford have picked up 25 from ours… bonkers run-in. Still up for grabs
Our inferior goal difference could be a deciding factor....... but if we were to beat Cambridge 5-0 before beating Rotherham, then it's a different ball game. Wigan can clinch promotion in front of their own fans when they meet Plymouth on Saturday, which is good for us. We could do with Oxford getting something at Rotherham to crank the pressure up on them and leave MK dons with a sniff of automatic promotion going into their final game of the season.... against Plymouth. Sheffield Wednesday can virtually put Wycombe out of the picture by beating them on Saturday. So many reasons for optimism. We've just got to win the next two and see where that takes us.
We win, Sheff Wed win, Wigan win on Saturday. Rotherham draw with Oxford and that's them out of the playoffs That would put us three points above Wycombe and two above Plymouth. One point from the last two games and we're there. I reckon.
The teams above us not playing like? If we won yesterday we’d have a chance. We aren’t going up automatically now.
Mentioning the bindippers, they eere class tonight, apart from a 15 minute spell. They coasted past manure. It was like slab and co were statues.
All the permeations are hurting my head, but as we all know, this is Sunderland so hopefully my bollox won't be hurting after being kicked in them - again!
Three winss 86 points Rotherham lose to us and draw the other two - 85 points MKDons draw their last two - 85 points. The rest don’t matter. It won’t happen but it’s nice to dream.
