areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 With us still having to play the four teams directly above us in the table, we have a great opportunity to reel them in and apply some more pressure. Of course, the flip-side of that is that we have some very challenging games still to play against teams who'll be happier than us to accept a draw. If we're going to make the playoffs, we'll have to do it the hard way and there's very little room for error from here on in, but the fact that we've hauled ourselves back into contention is quite remarkable in itself.

hawksmore Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) GSo going on form, we would finish on 69pts 5th would be Preston with 75 points 6th would be us, boro or villa based on goal difference Edited March 16, 2019 by hawksmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewsburyowl58 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 We have to hope that not all the teams around us will keep on winning , I’m sure the pressure of reaching the play offs will get to some and of course teams play one another so we can’t all win all the time . We can’t afford to lose where others above us can . 6 wins and a draw should get us very close , big ask isn’t it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCOWl Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Whilever there is an outside chance you have to believe or the seasons already over. Being realistic we have a very slim chance of making it. As mentioned earlier we have a very difficult run in with most teams having something to play for. That and the fact we struggle to score/create sufficient chances leaves me to think it's just too much of an ask. Only managing draws against Millwall, rotherham and reading cost us (apart from not sacking that b*ll end Jos earlier). They were games we should have won and would have put us in the play offs.

I think you’ll find that every team in the division apart from 2 or 3 have something to play for. I don’t think the draws you are talking about will prove to be as bad results as you think as recent wins for Millwall at Derby and Birmingham show. I think Reading and Rotherham will pick up unlikely results between now and the end of the season and Ipswich will be dangerous as teams usually are when the pressures off. FWIW whilever we stay in contention we’ve got a better chance than a lot on here think. Having a squad and a manager that has finished in the play-off places in two of the last 3 seasons will count for something at the end of the season IMO.

Personally I think the draws will be the difference. 3 draws on the bounce against some of the worst teams. We will keep hoping until it's mathematically out of our reach.
