PieFacE Posted April 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2017 Too much of a gap in such few little games. Sorry all, the dream is well and truly over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win the rest of our games, it is very possible. Big if I know, but we're on an unprecedented run right now anyway so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 We are not gonna win all our remaining games. Sorry to be negative but not even Newcastle and Brighton can boast that and they are better than us. But saying that if somehow we did finish 6th would rather play Huddersfield than Leeds in play offs. I think we would beat them over two legs. Leeds on other hand would be tougher game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, if I didn't know this league better I'd agree. But, there's a chance that in 2 games time the gap could be down to 4 points with 5 to go. Would you say the same then? Probably won't happen that way, but then you roll on to the next game, do your bit and cross your fingers. It's unlikely, but it's not insurmountable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2017 I just don't think there's any chance in hell that we can continue this form and effectively win every game. This league isn't like that and we're not good enough. Even if the gap did get to 4 points with 5 to go (and that is a huge IF), I still think it would be incredibly difficult.

Popular Post BOF Posted April 4, 2017 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2017 Odds are against us PieFacE but everyone knows that. No-one's saying it's likely. We're saying it's possible, and we're enjoying the hope. That's all. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 If there's one thing I've learned from passively following the Championship all these years it's that there's always one team every season that goes on a crazy run at the end of the season to sneak automatic promotion or a playoff spot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm prepared for sadness and quiet reflection, as well as boredom until the transfer window opens, it could be 13 points gap after tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This league isn't like that and we're not good enough. Of course there is a chance. We are talking about winning our next seven games not our next 20. It is a slim one I will grant you but the longer this good run goes on, the more confident we become and the more winning becomes a habit. Win tonight then we are on a run of 4 wins on the spin, 7 wins in last 8 and then go to Burton Albion. I intend to enjoy this ride and the glimmer of hope for as long as it lasts but am under no illusions that as soon as we fail to win it is all over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying this as much as everyone else. I feel I'm being realistic considering the league we're in, though I appreciate it may seem negative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Even with all these wins we are still 11th and 9 points off 6th. I agree with preface it's a little too late. I think 8th is definitely achievable and I am feeling very optimistic for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham away is tough and Brighton might be challenging for title. Just can't see us winning every game and results going fir us as well! I admire the optimism though guys your great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted April 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2017 Well, if we keep going like this things could get interesting. The Derby win helped, the Sheff Wed win not so much but we are giving ourselves a chance. Bring on Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
