Well you should have asked first!Well I'm the only one who mentioned Peterborough's form and there win over Doncaster on here, nobody else
They lost Dack? I didn't know that. He is a very influential player for them for sure.Sky blue spectacled thinking it will always be. Wouldn't have it any other way.
On a serious note the three teams we play above us , Bradford, Millwall, and Gillingham are just massive 6 pointers.
Score early in any of them games pressure firmly on them. They will crumble.
Btw Gillingham on current form 9 points from last 9 games , also have lost their two most influential players for the season, Dack and Egan. Their tally over last nine games is one point more than us. We need to beat them at theirs hopefully an sky blue army 2000 plus. Pressure firmly on them.
Gillingham will be the ones dropping out the top 6, a continuation of their current form will see them struggling to get to 74 points.
They easily look look like the weak link and could be team to drop out the top 6.
lets see but ultimately we need to start winning games.
Well you should have asked first!
I didn't say 'posters' I said 'people.'General City chat.
Last night my dad was straight in with 'well we should beat Peterborough on Friday.'
I think that win will have given Peterborough much renewed confidence after no wins in 8 games and with us really struggling to score goals I think this will be a very tough game for us.
Not at all.Most games at this level are tough, but it is one we should be confident going into. You probably couldn't have handpicked a better game for Good Friday tbh. Peterborough have nothing to play for, they are the second worse team in the division on form, only Doncaster worse than them and they have 6 first team players out on internationals.
And also do I not come under the class of people then?
They lost Dack? I didn't know that. He is a very influential player for them for sure.
In his post match interview TM talked about the lack of infrastructure at the club, in particular the fact that only 6 players are contracted beyond this Summer. I would imagine a common point of conversation among the players is "Where will you be next season?" Not good for team morale IMHO.
Yep. Think we've blown it too.I think we've blown it. With our form as poor as it is I just can't see us getting the points we need.
We've been saying this for week but the next 2 games are must wins. Anything less than 6 points and we can forget promotion. After those 2 games we start playing the teams battling for promotion.
Peterborough are in dreadful form, they beat doncaster last match but doncaster have to be about the only team in the country in worse form than Peterborough.
Have to be targeting a win, they also have 5 or 6 players missing on international duty as well.
Two defining games coming up now and we are getting to that stage now when games become must wins, 6 points out of Peterborough and Colchester and we will make the play offs I reckon.
<snip> I said it was a game where we should be targeting a win <snip>
And we have been now for months. Hasn't done us much good has it!We should be 'targeting' a win every single game.
Totally agree.You have to say that if we are to get in the play offs we now have to become the 'form' team. And if we do this is exactly what you want to be at the end of the season. It is much better than just managing to hang in by scraping enough points together.
It is the form team that usually succeeds at Wembley.
Didn't say we needed to win the next 3 in a row did I?need to win 3 in a row
need 4pts from next 2
you are all over the place otis
Blah, blah, blah!!we might not need to win 3 in a row at all,you dont know how rivals results will go.
you have been negative for a month now, before that it was "this is a new cov" etc
stop going to extremes and posting rubbish
On current form?Using the Grimsby predictor link mentioned earlier, if you dont put any results in manually it bases it on current form...
That has us finishing 6th.
Oh and please tell Tony Mowbray to stop posting rubbish. He has said we need to win 6 more matches.
How extreme and rubbish is that?
If we need to win 6 out of 9, odds are that we need to win 3 in a row.
Likely we will though!6 wisn out of 9 is no different to saying 40pts needed toa void relegation in prem, its not a exact science
maybe 5 will be enough, maybe 7 will be needed!
also if 9 games left
wlwwlwlww
there you have 6 wins without needing 3 in a row. so dont state that we have to have 3 in a row is all i am saying.
On current form?
How can we be finishing above Barnsley? That has to be wrong. They have won something like 12 out of 14 haven't they and are 6th.
Our current form is nowhere near that of Barnsley.
Yes, agree.our current form is not as bad as giliingham and i would be surprissed if the rest above us is amazing. no one it seems is consistant, except wigan and possibly burton of late. still a lot of changes coming up in the top 8 yet.
i do believe we are a different side this year, TM has given me more belief. The last few months have been disappointing tbh. however, i still genuinely believe we can sneak a playoff spot. time will tell, but lets kick it off with a win in front of the cameras on Friday.
Nobody knows what will happen in the next 9 games but based on the current table and based on current form, only the 6th play-off spot is currently up for grabs. And there are 6-8 teams competing for that one spot. So the odds we will reach the play-offs are against us, and even then we have just a 25% chance of promotion. Can we realistically expect a massive upturn in form from us and a massive down turn in form from our rivals?
