I know. I agree, but it still stands. You say they are not in the bottom three, which of course is absolutely correct. It's just they only aren't due to another club being docked points. If they were in the bottom three, I don't think we would be having the conversation. Anyway, it's all...

😂 Have to say I am much more leaning to the latter.

If we beat Maidstone and then were really lucky enough to draw Blackburn, or Southampton or Leeds or Leicester, that would give us a great chance of getting to the semifinals. Two games from glory. All that needs to happen then is for the big boys to have a complete meltdown, play the worst...

4th is still top 6 though isn't it. Just shows that it isn't always only the relegated teams that are competing. I think next year we should be stronger still. I would then expect more of a stab at the automatic places and promotion then. I don't think we have enough quality now and would need...

They only aren't in the bottom three though because Everton have been docked points.

I don't see why it will necessarily be a long time. We have been improving year on year of late and look at Ipswich. 15 points ahead of us and only 3 points off the top 2 places. Luton were flying last season weren't they. Really thought they were going to finish in the top 2 at one point.

I agree. They are an anomaly though. If we could do what they have done, then great, but they were a much better club than we were last season and just how many of our players from this campaign do we believe could do a decent job at Premier level?

Yeah, but I think we can take that with a pinch of salt. I don't think that is ever going to happen.

That we be best prepared for the Premier. I don't think we are this season. Flying in the top 2 and I would be a lot more confident.

Luton are making a fist of it, but I do feel they are still extremely likely to come down again. Do you think Sheff Utd are enjoying it? Southampton the year before and Norwich the year before that. Huddersfield? Derby? And as I have alluded to, Robins still gets lots of stick now and that's...

Gone for a Burton? 😱

Yup. Look at Sheff Utd. Do we really want a goal difference of -43? That's what it is at the moment and is much likely to get much worse. Then you have to look at the success rate for teams promoted to the Premier via the playoffs. I believe it's only 28% of clubs that survive the promotion...

Well you can shut yours for starters.

I'm going in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to it.

Just means the other half are the sensible half.

Seems to me that Putin has played this all very cleverly. He has just kept throwing bodies at it, knowing that one day the financial aid to Ukraine will curtail. Absolutely awful and cynical of course, as he puts zero value on Russian lives, but I think he knew support for Ukraine would wane as...

World history is absolutely littered with hypocrisy

I don't think it will be. I reckon if we go say 2 nil up, we will take our foot off the gas and just try and kill the game off. We are also trying to save players too who are tired and exhausted, so we may well field one or two who are not quite first team regulars

Yup. They had to buy 22 players or something didn't they. Nearly didn't work either though. I think that's an anomaly though. So many who go up come straight back down again and other sides look much better equipped to be able to survive than us

What sort of chance do you realistically think you have got? I know people here are talking of 4, 5 nil wins plus for us but I think that's a bit disrespectful. I would be happy with a 2-0. I'm sure you will fight tooth and nail and throw everything into chasing and harrying and closing down...
