I think we'll be established playoffs after Sheff U, after, what will be, 4 consecutive wins ;)

Christie, from talking to people who went and the radio, and the thread on SBT during/after the match, he was our worst player! :facepalm:

We don't concede all of our goals because of RB, last game we conceded from a corner, not at all linked to RB. If any CM is going to play RB, it'll be Thomas! Not Bailey!

Bailey is our best CM, why would we drag him out from there!?

Which player?

We're they one of the favourites in pre-season though? (Genuine question) Coppell was manager before I was born, I'm sure he got them promoted from bottom.

There's a first for everything isn't there? Didn't Coppell revive Palace from bottom one season? (I stand to be corrected) In fact, didn't Norwich, S'hampton and Scunny get off to catotrophic starts as well? I think they did.

With 38 games left, I think it was standard. Look at the amount of points we've dropped as well. The board wouldn't appoint someone who thought playoffs was a 'great achievement', I think this is a fact.

It would be an 'achievement' but by no means a "great achievement", if we won the league or automatic promotion would be 'great', winning the JPT would be 'great' also, achieving top 6 would have been a standard aim for MR.

I never said anyone said that. People are saying coming 6 would be a "great achievement", which it wouldn't, you look at our squad, manager, resources it is actually, not that good. MR wouldn't have got the job had he thought top 6 would've been a 'great achievement'.

They mean autos and you know it.

... Because coming top 6 is like winning the CL! :facepalm: The players think they can achieve promotion, I guarantee MR and co. believe it is achievable, I guess it's only the fans who are cynical because of past failures. This is a new dawn for CCFC.

Wasn't directly aimed at you, more a general statement because some have said top 6 would be a great achievement.

I think 3rd-4th is realistic, but as I said, top 2 is achievable, given the resources, management and playing staff in this league. I don't believe we'll get top 2 yet, but I certainly think we can push them. But believing we'll just sneak 6th is a slightly cynical don't you think?

We've ground out 2 games in a row haven't we? Could these 2 home wins, that we ground out for be a turning point in our season? Defence needs to be sorted out, agreed, but 1 positive, is we don't really concede more than 1 goal, and we usually score 2, also, we have conceded many a goals when...

Psychologically? I don't see how 30 years of not achieving top 6 in the top division will have any impact on them, to be frank, I'm not even sure they even know that to have it resting on their minds. We're in a division there for the taking, we're better than at least 22 teams.

We're 7th now with a very important month ahead of us, to move up 1 place by April would not be a 'great effort', seeing as a promotion push (top 4) is achievable, no doubt. It is clear I have higher expectations than most, but I am completely convinced that MR can do a Brian McDermott!

The history is a moot point, we've been the top division for 30 of the 40 years we haven't come top 6? This team hasn't completed a season together yet, so it hasn't had a finish in the league yet, we have the manager and the squad to do it, we whooped Donny and beat Tranmere, we have the a lot...

I'm not saying that helps my argument, I'm just pointing out how much of a difference 6 points are, we have play every team above us bar MKD & Tanmere, if that's a good thing, is up to the individual. I think our one form is going to improve from now, and I think we'll kick on away to...

6th would be massive? Not really, standard procedure to be frank. To put it into context, hadn't have had our wobble and beaten Carlisle & Shrews, we could've been 3rd (4th deffo) so no, to as we have 0% chance is wrong. I have a feeling many Reading fans would've been saying things like...
