That's us fucked then, one of our boggie teams and ffs we have Preston to come too.

The good news would be that we will be able to do the same on the way back to the Championship without the fans getting on the player’s backsBit of a sensationalist title - but think you know what I mean;
After the the last few seasons and some of the flair, going forwards, having players like Hamer, Vik, O'Hare, playing some exciting football and failing to get over the line....
Are we/could we manage to just grind/luck our way into the play-off and possibly beyond with this group of just not very exciting or real stand out performers after all that has gone before!?!
Or will we possibly be found out/have used up all our luck before the end of the season.
Discuss.....
If we do manage to fluke our way to the prem I think without an absolutely massive investment we would get battered in the prem especially with our defence, not sure I fancy a season of that!
Calm down folks. We still need WBA or Blackburn to slip up and us to carry on as we are. It's a tall order

...and we had Swansea and look what happened. Enjoy the moment!That's us fucked then, one of our boggie teams and ffs we have Preston to come too.
At the current run rate, we’ll overtake them both. WBA’s form under Mowbray has been inconsistent and replacing Corberan is no easy feat.
As for Blackburn, their manager has just left to go to a relegation threatened team. That’s not a good sign.
I’m confident we’ll catch and overtake both teams.
If this happens, I’ll eat my ownCoventry v Sunderland play off final down to pens Dovin saves 2 and Pato puts away the winner to send us up
I’m not understanding the point you’re making.Erm we won the play off semi 1-0 on aggregate last time
Do you really want to shit your way up? I don't.
Prem quality: Dovin, Haji, Rudoni,
Borderline: Sheaf (if fit!), MVE, EMC, Grimes (?? no Prem team took him from Swansea when he was younger),
The rest, including as you can see, almost all our defence is nowhere near good enough. Maybe Kitching. We will inevitably be Southampton and maybe Luton thereafter (and please don't use the feeble 'Luton improved their ground' defence)
Without the bonus of a big transfer windfall we know roughly what the club's cash flow and DK's pockets allow each transfer window. It will need three windows to build a defence good enough to compete.
Nottingham Forest notwithstanding we need to be in the automatics to stand a chance of staying up. Aiming to be a yo yo club is like entering a lottery

That 'Luton blueprint' has backfired a bit!Need to be a yoyo side for a bit if we go up this season, build a fantastic Championship side with plenty of young promising talent behind.

Luton failed because they needed the promotion cash to build a stadium instead do investing in playersThat 'Luton blueprint' has backfired a bit!
I also don't think we can match the spending of Ipswich to have the EFL pick of the league.
If this is the way it happens, then so be it.Do you really want to shit your way up? I don't.
I think it's better now than then although I think we also were underperforming in terms of output.It'd be interesting to compare xG with then tbh
Dumbest shit spouted every fucking year on this forumImagine not wanting to go up. It's literally what we're playing for ffs.
Who gives a fuck, think of the money we’d get by getting there. We could go and break Derby’s points total record for all I care. It would set this club up for a long timeDo you really want to shit your way up? I don't.

Looks like there of us have said roughly the same thing
If this is the way it happens, then so be it.
If we go up, it has the chance of setting the club up for years to come. You'd be silly to not "want" to go up like that.
Can't see us sustaining this level of performance and still scraping wins though. Form is superb, but performances have been a bit patchy and at times pretty dour - but teams do get into the top six doing this.
When we did our 19 game run a couple of seasons ago, we were solid and our counter attacking through Hamer/Vik was ruthless.
However, we haven't really ever encountered ourselves being very average, a bit lucky, and scraping results.....
We’ve been the better team in this stretch betting the Leeds and Wednesday games.
The difference in xG yesterday was 0.04 towards Wednesday and frankly, they really didn’t create any clear cut chances in the second half and their goal was a pretty lucky OG that ricocheted off Lati with no Wednesday players around him.
It was a pretty solid away performance where we created 4 decent chances and I’m still not sure why Simms’ disallowed goal was chalked off.

Yes, I was thinking about this and for their territorial dominance I couldn't remember a gilt edged chance. I think we'd have won without conceding if we'd held on a few minutes longer into the second half.
I think it's better now than then although I think we also were underperforming in terms of output.
I think our xG now probably isn't far of what our total xG for the playoff season as a whole.
