3rd or 4th


Recommended Posts

I can really see us moving into the top 4 very soon.

So close now:-

3.Burnley 52

4.Brighton 50

5.Derby 50

6.Ipswich 48

7.Us 47

Ipswich are clinging on with their fingernails, but fair play. Derby are absolutely on their arris. Brighton plummeted but have picked up, but surely cant last. They have a run of 3 aways soon so hope its then. And Burnley are no better than us. We were the better team. Dyche will be a relieved man tonight.

So that just leaves us. Our form. We are really good. Lees on his way back. McGeady to push Wallace (who played really well tonight) and give Fernando a twenty minute breather now and again.

I genuinely think, head ruling heart, we are good enough for 3rd or 4th. Fantastic.

If we wanted 3rd or 4th we'd have f**king won. We haven't beat any of the top six and lost most of them. Dunno why everyone is hyped about the playoff when considering how we play vs those teams we suck.

We are a totally different side to when we lost at home to Boro and away at Ipswich and Burnley, The Boro away one was for obvious reasons. If we make the play offs there isn't a team I wouldn't want to face.

Maybe.

But in the league it's important not to lose.

In the playoffs there has to be a winner.

Different mentality and I'm sure Carlos would approach them differently.

Hillsborough would also be rocking like the Arsenal game.

We've got to get there first though.

Looking good at the moment though.

The only thing we appear to have not got quite right yet is a little bit of 'cuteness.'

We let Burnley play the referee big time tonight. Especially early doors.

UTO :biggrin:

Honestly think Burnley must do training sessions in buying themselves free kicks (aka conning the ref).

I can't see us beating two of the teams above in the playoffs.

We still lack something.

It was always asking a lot to go upin the first season of the rebuilding.

We could do it but I just think its a season too early.

I think we'll finish just outside the play-offs. Wouldn't be the worst thing really, because if we can add 3 or 4 quality signings to what we already have, give the team another year to gel and adapt (Matias & Joao), we'll be in a much better position for when (if) we reach the PL. If we went up this season we would come straight back down imo

I don't think Burnley on last night's showing are as good as a lot of people think they are. I will give them credit defensively though, as we tried to cut them apart they always seemed to get a foot in or make the interception but I think they are limited in their play at times.

I think we're more than capable of stepping up one or two more gears between now and the end of the season and I wouldn't rule us out finishing well inside the play-off places.

Looking at that a win last night would have left us 3 points off third. There's a few games to go yet, the right results here and there and that could well be the case again. I'm trying not to table gaze in case it all goes wrong so sorry if that's not the case.

Last night I'd have been happy with a point before the match. Delighted with on after 25 minutes. Disappointed with one after 90.

We are a decent team. We look like we are ready to give someone a pasting should we string 2 halves together in one game. If it clicks again we can finish 3Rd or 4th. Then we look at 2nd and can we sneak up on them too. We can do it this season I think. We will do our best I'm sure.

I agree. I thought we were poor for 20 minutes, their equals for the next 25, then made them look very ordinary for the second half.
