There’s no VAR outright until the semis, even then it has to be Prem/Prem, Boro Chelsea last year was without it

Doing us a bit of a disservice there. We were excellent that season outside of that terrible opening. Only lost one of the last 17 iirc, were great on that run in with thumping wins at Huddersfield, Blackpool and QPR, conceded fewer than all but the top 3. We were well worthy of the 5th place finish. Great spirit and greater than the sum of our parts, but not sure we 'scraped in'.

not taking any credit away from us, I’m trying to make a point that even with prob 2 of the best players in the league we weren’t guaranteed a play off spot until the last game, this squads got enough about it to do the same, forget what’s going on, just get behind them,

It's as if every team that usually qualifies for the play offs is 10 points clear of 7th. It's one of the most competitive leagues in the world FFS.

Really not fussed about this game. It’s a free hit and see what happens.

3 points against Swansea is more important.

Spurs are Spurs so you don't rule out them getting knocked out by a lower league team, but you'd have to say you'd take a good performance and avoid a thrashing.

Wouldn't be adverse to it. But is it worth the risk?

He's going to come back from injury one day? It might be by necessity in any case as not sure if Eccles will play

Sound like both Sheaf and Saka will be on the bench for the Swansea game this w/e, and neither will be risked on Wednesday. I reckon it's going to be Torp, Rudoni, Latibeaudiere in midfield.

He had cramp, and if Sheaf doesn't play then he has to (for some reason vice captain has to be on the pitch when Sheaf's not available). Pretty sure he plays unless his leg has fallen off.

I thought it looked more like a hamstring but prepared to take advice, big emphasis on this in today's interview with MR!

You don't think one of them may be risked earlier, again listening to his interview today?

Didn't realise he'd already given his press conference, will give it a listen. Hope Sheaf plays, as long as it doesn't aggravate anything of course.

Just hope for a good performance and for Torp and Eccles to have decent games. Would be good to see both of them build from Watford 1st half

Have a browse of the stats on this site, hopefully it'll change your mindset and cheer you up a bit!

As others have said, stats can be selective to prove one side of an argument or the other, but personally I see a lot of positives here indicating that the goals and points will come -

Championship Stats | FBref.com

Check out Stats for the 2024-2025 Championship season.
fbref.com

- We're in the top 6 of the xG stats
- Top of Progressive Carries
- Second in Progressive Passes
- Fifth in shots on target
- Fifth in shot creating actions
- Fifth in average distance of shots on target (indicating the opposition keepers have played well against us)
- We've only stopped 1 cross
- We've played 19 different players (Burnley have played 30!)
- We've the 4th youngest team

Now you might look at that and say 'well duh, I can see we can't hit a barn door atm' and whilst that is true, but I really don't think we've played anywhere near as badly as people think. My worry is can we keep these stats up against the likes of Burnley/Leeds, because if we can, the goals will come and we'll be fine for a top 6 spot.

I’ll be fuming if I’ve paid 31 quid to watch our reserves against Spurs reserves

At this point it's not even humour, Robins feels the need to play Latibeaudiere without fail when Sheaf is not available.
