RUMBELOWS91 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Looks almost certainly like 6th place for us and a play off v 3rd place. Top 3 scrapping it out for 2 spots. 3rd place blow automatic promotion with last kick of last game whilst we recuperate and rest players v Wolves after getting the right result v Cardiff. We go in fresh- they go in demoralised and knackered. Is this the ideal scenario that's unfolding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightbelow Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 If we get the right result against Cardiff, playing the third place team is great as long as we finish 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgoditsjames Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 If we don't go up we absolutely have to stop bottling it against lower teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelswfc Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Whoever ends up in third will be devastated to not get automatics. Whereas if we get sixth we will be delighted. As long as we show that on the pitch we will give anyone a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Owl 2 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 In reality we will get duffed if we get there. Unless we seriously buck up our ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Some of the players are resting for 45 mins a game at the moment. Still think games against any of the top three will be tight, but we will be big underdogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday_Jack Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I think I would sooner play burnley than Brighton at the minute!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTheOwl Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I agree but haven't thought about it like that. Happy that as things stand it'd be either hull or Derby in a final, but unsure on who we want to face in the semis. Brighton look to be on form, Boro have Rhodes and Burnley have a very tight knit squad with Gray up top. I reckon unless one of the top 3 drops some serious points it'll be Burnley 1st and the second spot decided on the final day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelswfc Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I think I would sooner play burnley than Brighton at the minute!! Burnley only score scrappy goals, Brighton score all sorts. Not really bothered personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTheOwl Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 What's the history regarding play offs, how many times has the side finishing 6th gone on to win? And were they the form team at the time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Tbh I genuinely don't think it matters who we play. We will have a hell of a task whoever it is and we will be big underdogs whatever the game. However, if we get that 6th spot I plan on enjoying seeing Wednesday in a playoff semi regardless of the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Why would we be 'fresh' going into the play offs? We will have dragged ourselves there. If Brighton finish 3rd I'd still rather be in their shoes...winning games, turning teams over in the process, scoring for fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue n White Rampage Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Looks almost certainly like 6th place for us and a play off v 3rd place.

We go in fresh- they go in demoralised and knackered. Is this the ideal scenario that's unfolding? Burnley will be in bits if they dont get automatic. i can see them falling apart. brighton will be tested psychologically if they let it slip now too, so we should have the mental edge over them both. as far as play off qualification goes. if we beat derby and cardiff dont win, we're there. if we beat cardiff we're there. if we lose to cardiff but get 4 points from the other games...we're there. im pretty confident we're in the play-offs. i want derby in the final.

Socialist_Owl Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm hoping Brighton pip someone for the auto. They look absolutely unbeatable at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 We will get torn a new one at this rate. The sides above us are getting positive results at the moment when it matters. Somehow we've got away with it three times in a row. The players need to regroup and Buck their ideas up. Do we believe we can get promotion? I'm not so sure.

Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 What's the history regarding play offs, how many times has the side finishing 6th gone on to win? And were they the form team at the time ? Does it really matter, it's three cup games with probably the richest prize in the world at stake ! Carls says there's no preseure on him this season, let's hope he can handle the "no pressure" play offs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Whoever ends up in third will be devastated to not get automatics. I think that only applies if it's not Brighton. I think they'd be content with a play-off place as similarly to us their fans likely never expected to be where they are this season. Middlesbrough and Burnley would be there for the taking in the play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we are confirmed in the play offs (hopefully) the mindset will change.I agree, at the moment we look the weakest of the 4 sides by a distance, but that can easily change if the ball goes in off Nuhiu's backside 10 minutes into the first leg.
