We are looking very likely for top 5 as we have done most of the season. That will be amazing and surpass all expectations. We are absolutely not in a title race. Not in any realistic way.

Agreed. Although the 3 above us all have 2 games in hand so it's not really 5 points. But even to be within 10 points at this stage is some going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really, genuinely is. I honestly think if we'd been luckier with injuries (same for many teams) this season we wouldn't be talking about 'only' making the top 4, but something historic and Leicester-esque.

MaVilla Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) 16 hours ago, Jareth said: Time to trot out ‘but had we beaten forest’ tbh, if you look at the data, it was the Sheff utd draw where our form has dropped off slightly since then, so the last 12 ish games or so. its not a huge drop off, but it is defo a noticeable drop off. In reality tho, you could argue the pre Sheff Utd form was far, far above what we could have reasnably expected, so maybe the post Sheff Utd form is more....realistic?, and the pre Sheff Utd form was operating at above our sustainable/expected level.

Difficult enough for the 3 (ONLY 3!!) teams above us to keep winning game after game. Edited March 31 by AvonVillain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we hadn't lost Pau to injury and Kamara to suspension vs Brentford we might well have had another 5 points at this stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheats will prosper yet again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Farlz Posted March 31 Popular Post Share Posted March 31 I know they have a game in hand but 30 games into a season and only being 5 points off City is quite mental. It doesn't quite hit sometimes how ridiculous our season has been. Probably all change Wednesday but for now what a brilliant weekend. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're actually the most difficult game they have left in the league, so if they beat us, you'd expect maximum points for the rest of the season. An interesting aspect is that they haven't got a better goal diff. than the 2 above them. You'd have to say they're still favourites going by history and fixture list.
