I don't think all will go anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 2 away wins in 4 days for Lambert and Weimann. We haven’t recorded back to back away wins since 2014. Although, we did have the great Phillipe Senderos marshalling the defence back then which made us more or less impenetrable. Seriously though wtf, don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this stage. Put this in the push for the playoffs thread just for the lols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those two games....Lambert in charge, Weimann netted the winner at Stoke, and Gabby got the winner at Anfield! 10pts in first 4 games of the season...followed by 6 defeats in a row!

MarkLillis Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Shocker last night..... Players that were pretty impressive for other sides this year looked poor for us. Brentford were very good though so credit to them and the team which gets into 6th place in the play offs usually comes on strong during the last third of the season and the momentum takes them all the way. Not saying I see any signs that this will be us though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 If we are to stand a chance we have to put a run of wins together now - extreme long shot now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 There's really no chance. Over a season, current 6th place is on course for about 76 points. We'd need to pick up 41 points in 18 games. 13 wins, 2 draws, 3 defeats at worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted February 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2017 41 from 18 is too much to do, win last night and don't throw away the points against Preston and it'd have been 36 from 18. Which would have been difficult but doable with a slight improvement on our form under Bruce. We look miles off playing football as a team, and a million miles off the kind of team that could win 10 on the bounce.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 We basically need to win 12 of our remaining 18 games to stand a chance. If we win all of our remaining home games and win one or two away then we could make the playoffs. However, I am 99% certain it won't happen. This is a rebuild job and the promotion push will be next season. Still possible this season but extremely unlikely... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree mate No chance Newcastle and Brighton won't be going up. I think it's likely to be Leeds or derby that go up with them. As you say I don't fear Sunderland Swansea hull or boro as I think it will be three of those four coming down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
