KSV Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Problem is we tend to slip up more than Cardiff do. We will need to be near faultless just to catch them let alone go above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly anyone calling for his head right now is an embarrassment to the club. We are in shocking form right now and must turn in around soon, but perspective is needed. We were among the favourites for relegation and no one really expected us to finish any higher than mid-table (I would be placed as a "happy clapper" by many but consider myself a realist and expected we'd finish 12-14th). I still believe we have enough to make the playoffs, and if we do so then we will be in good form as the season ends, which is always a bonus as the playoffs start. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Wolves- 1st, then between us, Cadiff, Fulham and possibly Derby for 2nd and the rest of the playoff spots, and the 6th spot is wide open. All to play for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as insurmountable as it seemed even a week ago, is it? If we pick up 6 points from 6 as we should before our match with them, and they lose either of the 2 matches (Leeds look like they might be making a resurgence), suddenly we're looking at a 4 point gap at the end of that week with 8 games left to play. I think the table will look quite different after the wolves game if we can beat them. I fully expect it to look like this in 3 games time Wolves 76 pts Cardiff 76 pts Us 72 pts A 4 point swing with 9 games to go is easily achievable. The middle of April will decide the title. Cardiff play Wolves on April 7th & Then we play Cardiff 3 days later. Hopefully it is in our own hands by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be even better for us because we just have to hope only 1 out of 2 teams slip up as opposed to using our bets on just 1 team. Honestly, I think if we keep on with 2 ppg, we should get at least 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next weekend we're home to QPR (just trounced at home by forest) and they're away at Brentford. Could easily be back to 1 point in it and we still have them to play at home, no need to worry yet. Agree some bonkers reactions with many points to play for. I never thought we’d catch up after our start but we did, it makes no sense to assume anything now. Could easily go to the final day. We have a squad as good as any, our points tally proves it. Each and every team in the top 5 will have hoped and fears, successes and setbacks, they will all have fans who say “ we always mess up” and all have fans who say “must win” every week....and it’s all irrelevant. Loads of time, loads of drama. Its been my view all season an average of 2 Points per game gets us up and I still think so. I also now think we are capable of achieving that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than them winning their Home game against us ( which we can nullify) they have One extra Point !!!! One point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Still plenty to play for but we have to make sure we do not slip up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If wolves picked up 5 or 6 injuries like most clubs around us have I would be very interested to see how they do until end of season as they are in,y missing a couple and that’s to a ban for neves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If we beat Wolves in a couple of weeks, I would say we are up for automatic promotion. I guarantee that Wolves team are getting tired. You cannot play at that pace all season and not falter, its impossible, also most of that team are used to a European break over the winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Gosh our last 6 games are starting to look very tough, if we want to finish 2nd then we need to have a 4 or 5 point cushion going into that final 6. If we cant get 2nd then it has to be 3rd as we'd play 6th over 2 legs, if we finish 4th then I don't fancy our chances against Fulham or Derby over 2 legs but a one off game at Wembley I do.

They've got 3 teams to overhaul, think they'll have too much to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’d have imagined Cardiff would pull 10 points back on wolves in the last 11 days alone closing a 16 point gap to just 6 . any team could implode in this league - who dares wins from here . Nerves will kick in and we have a very experienced group Edited February 25, 2018 by Eastie 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I will say given the mental strength and determination of the likes of Snodgrass, Terry, Chester, Elmo etc I would bet on us in a playoff final over any other team in contention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
