The Curse of 6th Place


Recommended Posts

How many times have we had the chance to move up to 5th or higher in the last two seasons? Every time we have the chance we either lose or fail to beat someone we would expect to.

 

Is it a curse?

 

Are we doomed to 6th place?

 

Is there an issue with mentality?

 

Is it bad luck?

 

Will Batman escape the Penguin's evil plan?

 

Wait. Forget that last one.

Firstly, it's a play off spot so you have to take it. 

 

But **** me we just can't reach those top 5 places can we lol Last season was exactly the same when we had numerous chances. This season has taken it to a new level. There is some absolute voodoo on those top 5 places. When we win 4 in a row we can't even get a look in for more than about half an hour. 

 

Never known anything like it. Made all the more hilarious by the fact teams below us are pretty poor.

The positive is no one seemed to want to take 6th off us at the end of last season and so far no one seems that keen this season either.

 

So much voodoo flying around. The gap from 7th to 6th and 6th to 5th is like some sort of Bermuda triangle.

We just keep flipping up our chances, don't we?  Everyone around us loses or draws?  We do too.  Pull off a magical win? So does everyone else.  

 

We are not good enough to challenge for top 2 with this kind of form, we're just not.  Perennial Playoff chasers.  1 point from Burton over 2 games, couldn't beat Wolves or Bristol...blah, blah blah.  :(

Yes! Some utterbastard has a doll of the league table with a pin stuck in the 5th position chanting weird, anti-Wednesday incantations, whilst naked.

 

Defo.

We've had big opportunities at Brighton, Leeds, Brentford and tonight to really have a go or at least make things more comfortable. But we've failed to take each one.

 

Rightly or wrongly. I do think there's a bit of a lack of belief, hence the comments about "moaning". The big moments such as the penalties have got to us and we get frustrated in front of a home crowd when we can't break a team down.
