Popular Post Farlz Posted November 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Seeing us still in 16th after the good run we've had under Bruce makes me realise how much shit RDM really put us in. Dread to think where we'd be if he was still in charge. Edited November 20, 2016 by Farlz 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would require us going the rest of the season unbeaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 So the Play Off Final date is Monday 29th May! Need to confirm the Semi dates as going to see Micky Flanagan on either Friday 19th or Saturday 20th and wouldn't want a potential date clash if played over said dates.

I am sure I read The Cup Final was the 27th of May. Thought all play off finals where over the same weekend? Did they not put the championship one onto a Saturday to maximise TV revenue too?

We need wins. Absolutely but when he first arrived I honestly would have taken ending up where we are now and deemed it a success given the circumstances. We've managed to open up a 6 point cushion without playing anyone around us with the exception of Blackburn. To do that after walking into our basket case of a club, in a run including playing two of the current top three and two local derbies no less, is mighty impressive I think. With Cardiff and Wigan our next two home games we have an excellent opportunity to continue climbing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with being a bit optimistic Not sure if it was supposed to read that way but the original post suggests we'd be top 3 now if we hadn't ditched RDM for Bruce? I'd say that is slightly more than a bit optimistic as well as the small matter of being mathematically impossible. Unless I've read it wrong of course, it is Sunday morning after all.

Not sure what they do if a championship or league2 side makes the cup final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Platt Posted November 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2016 Yep now only 5 points off 6th so gained a point on the play off places after this round of fixtures. Just got to win our home games and keep picking up points on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I misread the post guys. lol. Chill out. I thought it said I wonder where we would be if Bruce was in charge from the beginning for some reason. Was half asleep.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 To be honest I don't know if my heart could take playoffs, although it is currently our most realistic shout at promotion. I hope we really make a good charge for second, which is why the Brighton result was a little disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 If Bruce was here from the beginning we'd be challenging for automatic promotion let alone the playoffs. Then again, maybe the team needed time to gel, although we were getting steadily worse until he came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The problem atm is that were not giving ourselves allowance for a defeat. I think points wise were obviously plenty in touch however there are so many teams in between. A lot has to go wrong for us to break into the top 6 and I think anymore points between than currently, then I think we will struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was with 10 or so games to go you'd probably have a point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
