Hardly. If we lose all 5-0 as you claimed that quite clearly shows we can't compete and there's a slim chance of us besting an opposition over two legs plus another in the final. Your argument in response was 'WelL PlYmOutH BeAt LiVerPoOI'. Liverpool made 10 changes that day which always was...

The dynamics will be completely different. Relying on exceptions to the rule is one of the laziest arguments you can make.

If we lose all three, it certainly raises the question of whether making the playoffs is even worthwhile as all it'll show is that our chances of beating any potential opponent over two legs will be less than slim. We need to show we can compete.

This does concern me slightly. There's a risk of us coming out of those fixtures with minimal points, or potentially none at all, and the side losing confidence going into the final block of games. It probably would've been better of those games were spread out over the final 10 rather than...

They're struggling with a lot of injuries at the minute. Salvesen, Osborn, Nyambe and Roofe were all ruled out over the course of this week. Had a glance at their forum and it looks like a few more were hobbling after their win at Blackburn. They're not confident the squad has the energy or...

Some favourable fixtures there. Portsmouth are poor away from home, Hull abysmal at home. Middlesbrough are on a downward trajectory. Luton's, Plymouth's and Derby's seasons speak for themselves. I'd be very surprised if weren't able to grind out at least 10 points out of those. Need to...

Norwich have yielded average results for some time. With Sainz not scoring since November they're now pretty much solely reliant on Sargent for goals which is problematic over the course of a block of games.

He's an excellent player at this level but his form has dropped off a cliff. I think that's it really. And due to Sainz' lack of form they're now heavily reliant on just Sargent for goals, which just isn't sustainable.

I think they have a really lopsided squad. Some very good players in there and then some absolutely bang average. Sainz has also been poor for some time. He hasn't scored since November. Which wouldn't have helped them.

We quite simply won't get that same opportunity against the likes of Burnley, Sheff U or Sunderland.

He was fine today but I wouldn't call him excellent whatsoever. He let the ball run in behind him for their first chance which Dovin saved and he should've been quicker to track back better for their second.

Yeah fair point. He probably should've stayed on his feet for the first however collectively it was a complete shitshow from the backline. I don't really blame Kitching solely for that, Gallagher was completely unmarked. Their second goal was a really poor goal to concede. Great delivery though.

I suspect Haji would've replaced EMC if he'd gone off 10/15 mins later.

Like they did with Swansea they have the capability to seriously punish teams. But they also draw far too many games. Out of the past 8 they've only lost once, but 4 of those have been draws.

Yeah granted certainly have the squad to turn it around and go on a run but based on recent showings I'd be surprised. They'll have to get at least 20 points from the next 10 to be within a shot of reaching the POs. Big ask given who they've got coming up.

Not sure Norwich are that much of a threat tbh. Their form has been pretty average over the past 6-10 games and their run in isn't great.

Yep, you physically can't do that against the better sides in the division. Stoke and Oxford have really struggled in front of goal recently yet we've shipped two goals a piece against both. The run we're on is brilliant and I don't want to take anything away from it but we 100% need to cut out...

Thought Kitching was an absolute warrior today. Won the physical battle time and again and made some really important clearances.

It didn't sound like either injuries were overly severe to me.

They've got a good squad but they've been terrible for too long to warrant that level of a turnaround. It's only really Bristol and West Brom that pose any kind of threat to us. Millwall have an outside chance as well if their form continues. Norwich and Watford too inconsistent, as...
