    Shame Sheff Utd got the job done. 6 point gap now. Feels like a win Monday is important now.

    Exactly. Although worth noting that it was new lads at Sheff Utd who made the difference today. According to Derby lads Cannon was excellent. Still stand by my opinion he is worth the money.

    The playoff race is extremely tight. 5 points between 5th and 14th.

    The conundrum is that we could end up playing a side that finished 25 points behind us.

    Leeds definitely won’t have it easy at Coventry tomorrow night

    I'd prefer them to win tbh.

    The thought of a choice to play at Wembley between Boro, Coventry and Sheff Utd would be grim.

    I want them to get beat of course but it’s not a worry if they win, think they’re nailed on for top 2

    So many possible scenarios in a play-off campaign with so many sides chasing a spot. Loads of twists and turns ahead

    I'm quite pleased Burnley are away at Southampton on Saturday, FA Cup tie.

    I'd be happier if they won on penalties and had to play another game.

    Anything that disrupts them can't be a bad thing.

    Why i dont think anything will be finalised until the last day of season.

    possibly more set in stone come Easter Weekend but think most of it will be the final day

    Gonna go right down to the wire, but I honestly believe we are better than Burnley and Sheff U. Need to stop throwing points away against the "lesser" teams, though.

    If we'd beaten the worst team in the league twice (which we should have done) and scored one of our pens against Burnley, we'd be top. Fine margins.

    If Coventry can beat leeds tonight that will open the league right up,

    good thing is that we play first on Saturday which can put pressue on SU when they KO at 3

    Just have to keep winning and forget about anyone else we can’t control what they do, we’re good enough to pull this off

    Thought it would be interesting to look at how we perform against different sections of the league.

    Top 8:
    Played 10
    Points 19
    PPG 1.9

    Middle 8:
    Played 8
    Points 11
    PPG 1.3

    Bottom 8:
    Played 12
    Points 28
    PPG 2.3

    We really struggle against the midtable sides. These teams that we are definitely better than but have that bit of attacking quality that can hurt us or defensive quality that can hold us to a point.

    Improve against those sides and we go up.

    Watford are bang in the middle section so your theory is going to get a test this weekend

    Of course it would be nice to get top two.
    But I was just thinking tonight about Enzo, Neil, Jobe, Rigg and Isidor playing at Wembley.
    Now wouldn’t that be something?
