Lots of points to be dropped by teams above/around us especially if Brownie, Ashbee, Bullard and McShane can help out! Leeds vs Forest Burnley vs Ipswich Preston vs Swansea Leicester vs Burnley Millwall vs Leeds Forest vs Reading Swansea vs Norwich Forest vs Burnley Watford vs Norwich Norwich vs Forest Burnley vs Swansea Leeds vs Watford Reading vs Leicester Ipswich vs Norwich Forest vs Leicester Leeds vs Reading Watford vs Barnsley Leicester vs Watford Swansea vs Ipswich Leeds vs Burnley Millwall vs Swansea Watford vs QPR Leicester vs Ipswich QPR vs Leeds Leeds have a tough run in!
There's just no way Forest are staying in the top 6. They are doing shite and probably have the worst run in of them all. Another team dropping out with them, and I can see us clinching a spot!
I think you're wrong, only happy clappy types think we'll be anywhere outside of the bottom half, We have no chance of making the play-offs. We are lucky not to be relegated. Next season we'll be down definitely. We're dooooooooooomed.
Not forgetting that we have Swansea and DQPR away still though. Norwich was our hardest remaining home game .. Millwall Donny Boro and Palace left now. Need to win all four and hope to win at both Watford & Brizzle to nick sixth spot. A tough ask now that we've lost Rosenior for the season to add to the major loss of Cameron Stewart.
There are other teams above us more likely to get a play-off place than us, it's not just catching up with 6th place, it's about getting more points than 7th, 8th and 9th as well. Judging by Saturday I think it's beyond us this season. Not being negative, just realistic.
My head agrees with you there TWF but then I support my team based on my heart. And that damn thing still has hope......
Going on the basis that 74 points might be enough to grab sixth spot irrespective of who's above us. 70 points was enough for Watford to grab 6th in 2008 after they had 60 points before now.
All ifs and buts still, can see forest dropping out given their slump in form and Leeds are prone to an end of season wobble (Saturday at the Blunts could be a sign the wheels are coming off) Burnley and Leicester are stuttering, Reading and Watford are inconsistent and no one really seems to be grasping the nettle and going for it. It could go down to the wire and i can see us still been involved in the fight for the play offs by the time we go to Bristol, whether we'll get there or not i don't know. Great if we could, but won't be getting down over it if we don't, given our circumstances till November to be were we are at present is an acheivement in itself.
it's bloody hard, now without Rosenior and Stewart.. The Forest & Leeds spots are open, Burnley were looking good but they've only taken 1/9 points last 3.. by rights we should end Millwall's involvement next game but even if we're 4 pts behind even Pompey are in with a sniff.. TBH we're similar in strength to Reading & Watford.. we have a chance, yes, that's sth.. a bridge too far maybe but one game at a time.. and hey a couple of weeks a go the gap was 5 then 7 now 4.. progress in fact..
Too tight to call but I fear without Rossy & Cameron we will fall short as they are probs our 2 most creative players
