If this was fifa I'd think the game was teasing meResults have been kind to us recently. Gutting to think we should’ve already cashed in on them.
We could do with winning by at least a couple to get the GD back up, as could be important.we have now been given a massive opportunity
win tomorrow and hope blackburn dont, and we will be within a whisker of the play offs
if blackburn lose and the Mwall preston game isnt a draw we would be in the play offs
This is now a must win and a massive opportunity
At this point the division in and around us are looking at our playoff push and saying
We can't get much more assistance

The pile of injuries all in attacking midfield is a bridge too far for this team. Not sure this comes down to character, just the consequence of sustained poor quality recruitmentIt's been like it for a few weeks. The opportunity is absolutely there for the taking.
Given Millwall play Preston tomorrow, and we still have a trip to Blackburn where we can knock them out the picture, tomorrow has to be a win. If we don't turn up tomorrow I'll seriously question our character.

I agree, decent enough recruitment but a lack of depth.Disagree. Yes, the amount of injuries in one particular area has hurt but that has allowed our youth players to gain experience and integrate themselves into the first team in a sustained, competitive environment. Would Eccles, Burroughs and Howley have been give as much time as they have if Allen, CoH and Palmer were still fit ? And all three kids have proven they have the ability to play in this division. If we get the results we need to get into the playoffs and stay there till the final day, I really think our team can and would give any of the clubs around us a challenge.
The big "If" is will we get into the top 6 ? It's out of our hands and we're reliant on others dropping points.
A brilliant kind of horrible.Would be horrible if we needed a win on the last day to make the play offs, even if Boro were already "on the beach".
With the greatest of respect Howley is clearly not ready and Burroughs is also quite raw. Losing all of Allen, COH and Palmer has forced us into a 5-3-2 where we really struggle to get hold of midfield and that's been a problem in every game since the break.Disagree.

It's the reason why we have a squad short on players good enough for this division and that has ultimately forced us into taking risks with players. You need a proper squad to stay the course in this league, we don't have one. And I think it'll come a cropper tomorrow in all honesty.Most people (apart from those in bed with the recruitment team) agree that our hiring has been poor. It isn't an excuse here though. We are going to a team that are one of the worst in the division, with a form record to go with it. We have a chance to jump into the top six and everything to play for.
If we aren't absolutely killing ourselves tomorrow I'll be dissapointed.
I would take it at the moment though.Would be horrible if we needed a win on the last day to make the play offs, even if Boro were already "on the beach".

Beer? Air?I’ve got to avoid EVERYTHING tomorrow if we don’t win.
You might not be wrong, but I would hope we fly out the traps with a point to prove. It should be ours for the taking, and why we would fear QPR, I have no fucking idea.
Should put the nail in their coffin.
Yup. It still smells of defeat to me. Like you say, they have got to win at some point, DO have done good players and our form hasn't been great.It's nothing to do with fearing QPR as such, but you must know by now that on any given day, we can win, lose or draw against any team in this division. There are so may variables which will only pan out as the game unfolds. The fear is more one of the law of averages, in that they are due to win a game at some point, and given their comeback at West Brom in their last game, and the return of their better players, their fragile confidence will have been boosted a little. Many of their players are also the same one's that have played when beating us fairly comfortably at their place in the last 2 seasons.
I don't see this being the easy game it looked a couple of weeks ago, and if our players go into the game as complacently as some of our fans are we will get beat. If we are going to win we not only need our players to play well, but to also physically match the fight I expect Ainsworth's team to start with. As per usual, the scorer of the first goal is likely to be crucial to the eventful outcome of the match. Let's hope it's us.
Beer? Air?
I agree with all of that, except the final bit. There is no way we would have been able to buy/recruit quality back up players to cover O'Hare, Palmer and Allen. We would have accused the club of wasting the budget on having e.g. 5 AM players (yet could only field 2) then slated them for not having enough CBs, when 3 got injured at the same time. It's just bad luck imo. Probably happening at at least half of the clubs in the division. With our limited budget we were always going to get the odd Hillsner. Hopefully that will not continue into the future.The pile of injuries all in attacking midfield is a bridge too far for this team.

Only Burnley Luton and Sheff U have lost fewer games than us - Our problem is the draws
We dropped 7 Needless points at the start of the season through keeper mistakesSwansea home Wigan away being 2 draws that should have been wins that have fucked us
Every single club can say stuff like this about certain games. We've also won games when we shouldn't have.Swansea home Wigan away being 2 draws that should have been wins that have fucked us
