    Anybody who says we can’t make the playoffs is an idiot. May be an opinion that we won’t but I can’t see there’s much to base that on.

    I think we're too up and down in terms of performance. If the new lads can help make sure we're more up than down, then maybe.

    Mate if we’re too 6 at this stage it would be ****in bonkers to say we won’t be there at the end. Doesn’t mean we will though.

    Currently ours to lose and only Coventry, who are losing 1-0, have a better GD than us out of the teams below us, that could be crucial come the end of the season.

    We can make the play offs. Of course we can. I don't think we will though

    Surely all the teams below us at the moment are less consistent. I know it’s tight but there’s every reason to be optimistic with the talent in our squad and Beale at the helm.

    I think we're a young team whose form will vary more than the teams with more experience. On our day we can out-talent anyone. It's hard for these lads to maintain performance levels at the moment, just a consequence of being young. Look at Bellingham.

    It's not a dig, it's just the way it tends to be with young players. Just in case the usual pile on is encouraged.

    before the season even started we were all pretty sure that the top three places were already spoken for so we were really all pushing for the last 3 play-off spots...i see no reason we will not have one of them.

    It’s an argument just don’t think it’s particularly logical when with more of the season gone than left those teams with older players are not showing greater consistency or are you expecting an Ipswich style drop off from us. Can’t see it.

    Going to be loads of ups n downs for sure, will come down to the most consistent team - hopefully be us

    Reckon theres 5 in the running for 2 positions imo:
    Wba
    Coventry
    Us
    Norwich
    Hull

    Boro have the talent to make a push but reckon its 2 from those 5

    Wba dont have the greatest squad depth but quality starting line up with a class manager

    Coventry have some talent but need ohare to stay fit

    We can beat anyone but need clarke to stay fit

    Hull, im still not sure on the balance of their team - on paper they look decent n have some quality attacking threats

    Norwich have experience but weak defensively

    Going to be a cracking run in for sure

    I don’t see any reason we can’t, we’ve got some tough away games still to play but we all have to play everyone twice regardless, will go to the wire again I think

    It's a yes from me. No reason why we can't take 5th or 6th spot. We have as much chance of any of the 4 or 5 teams chasing a couple of spots. A big week this week will put us firmly in amongst it. Keep the faith lads and lasses.
