    brighton finished on 72 points in 6th place last season and qualified for the play offs
    can leeds win 12 of the 15 matches remaining to get to 74 points and qualify for the play offs ?
    i must admit its a tall order but we have won 4 out of the last 5 matches , so times this by 3 and that gives you
    12 matches won and 3 losses = 74 points. Why not reading did it ? ha ha

    And by the way I'm being sarcastic. We are not gonna get top 6, I'd personally be surprised if we finished above our current position, it would be an absolute crime to the game of football if we got there (we won't anyway) because of how bad we have been this season.

    Considering our position at the start of this year I would have ripped your arm off for 12th. If we finish 12th I would be happy.

    I don't believe we are out of trouble yet, it is looking much brighter, I would like to see us secure safety then give some of the loan players a few games and take a closer look under the guidance of a new coach

    Agree Josh, agree Chesh, agree Elland, agree Ristac.

    Still some yoyoing and disappointments to come I think.

    I feel Redders may keep playing Morison till he scores, if he ever does.

    Anything is possible in football but we need a winger and a goal scorer Josh King Chris woods Morison is not good enough for me

    He plays out wide for Blackburn, decent player but I'm not sure he is capable of ever stepping up. Not saying he wouldn't do well here but it seems like one of those you'd have to spend a lot of money on and probably not end up with decent value for money.

    Didn't I say that <laugh>

    Also just read on breakfast thread that he is a free agent in the summer, in that case would probably be worth a punt although wouldn't get completely overexcited about it

    Would rather we kept hold of Ajose and see if he can step up instead of looking to sign Josh King

    I was asking where you were suggesting he play, out on the wing or as a striker.

    Not really, maybe in a roundabout way, however my comment was aimed at 60 saying I can understand him being suggested as a wide player but not a striker.
