You need to get on Reddit, and make a table ranking grounds based on their height above sea level, then.

So if we don't make it who are you blaming?

Why? We are placed for the play offs. If we dip now the start would be no worse than a disappointing finish.

Well here's a thing about predictions, they are just that. I don't think anyone expects them to be worth anything.

I was joking, but if you were asking for real, "being in 17th in November" would probs be a fair answer.

Would depend how we finish tbf.

You can't judge one without knowing the other.

But considering where we have got ourselves, we are in a finishing position. We are now in a mini season. If we fail in that mini season then our start is almost irrelevant. Starts don't get you in the playoffs, finishes do.

If we don't finish where we are, that's on the squad, and Lampard to an extent. I'm a very chilled bloke about stuff like this: for me, a big part of what Lampard has done is stayed out of the way. He's made some good tweaks and trusted certain players.

Robins was scrambling towards the end when, like he said himself before the Stoke game, the data said we'd be ok eventually. He didn't hold his nerve like he could have. Bad starts don't help, streaks can make you overconfident. I'm just gonna enjoy it!

I am a big fan of what Robins achieved. I hadn't given up on him turning the season around. But did feel the last couple of games based on his post match comments he was running out of answers

So when the axe fell I was surprised he wast given more time but not shocked either.

I don't think Frank is a genius. Just a fresh voice and tweaked a few things. I don't think his approach is radically different, I think he is very similar to Robins which is a good thing for continuity.

Bad starts don't help, but our position with 9 or so games to go puts the emphasis on our finish now

Like you I'm just going to enjoy it. One game at at time. All teams lose when you don't expect and win when you don't expect. The unpredictable nature of football is why we all go.

As long as we compete I am happy

And why not?

No club below 7th is in form. 8th 5 points below us. 9th and 10th 7 points below us.

WBA clinging on to 6th by GD. Bristol City good enough but have a tough run in. They play each other 8th April. WBA come to our place a couple of games after that.

Still a long way to go. But I wouldn't swap with anyone outside the top 4.

Tbh if we miss the playoffs now then Lampard still gets a free pass for me. He’s put us in this position which is more than I expected (full Lampard sceptic here btw) so he’s earned the right to miss play-offs and still be seen as a successful year 1 for me.

Watching Watford game they have had 91% of the game in the second half and still can't break Plymouth down.

They have some good players - if they score first, they tend to do well.

Have you seen their goal?

Talk about fluke. Really unlucky on Hull there.

Hull defender tries to clear the ball from the e penalty are, but he whacks it straight into the body of a fellow defender and it flies back into the goal.

I think we beat them again - and comfortably.

We are better than Watford are and Plymouth are still shit they’re just slightly less shit without Rooney.

Burnley look poor so far. Bristol C dominating the play and almost scored a couple of times.
