Finishing 6th - Nooo! (1 Viewer)

GaryJones · Feb 17, 2024

Ok - so we all want to get into the play-offs again but we could really do with finishing 5th.
The likelihood is that if we finish 6th we will play either Leicester, Southampton or Leeds and that would be a tall task over 2 legs given how far ahead in quality those squads are compared to the rest.
A 5th place finish would probably end up playing Ipswich which although difficult I personally feel we would do them over 2 legs.
So we have to keep West Brom in our sights and hunt them down whilst keeping the pack behind us.
Exciting times but we simply cannot afford any slip ups between now and the end of the season.
Avoiding injuries and suspensions I think we can do this!!!

Be a great achievement to finish 6th this season with the league as competitive as it is

fatso · Feb 17, 2024

If we finish 6th I reckon we'll play Leeds.
They are beatable over 2 legs.

If you want to get promoted you've got to win these games, it's as simple as that.

Rather go out in semi final than heartbreak of final. So plaY Southampton in semi final.

tom88 · Feb 17, 2024

We’ve done Leicester on aggregate over 2 legs already this season

Sky Blue Harry H · Feb 17, 2024

Extra ££££s in the bank for our assault the following season if we get in there, regardless.....and you've got to be in it to win it. Finish above two out of West Brom, Hull and Norwich and we'll get in the top 6, No easy task, though.

Keep saying take one game at a time we have been battling away with some of our better players not fit & available, get Sheaf back alongside Torp, get Saka back fully fit we are a different team
and a match for anyone.

pusbccfc · Feb 17, 2024

Southampton away would likely be the biggest allocation.

Terry_dactyl · Feb 17, 2024

Who knows! We’re a very good side with the best manager in the division.
Id love us to beat Leeds in the semi! At the end Bobby Thomas can go and try and shake that little pricks hand again!

shmmeee · Feb 17, 2024

TBH if we’re going to lose, and I think we would against Soton or Leeds, I’d rather do it in the semis and save the hassle. Gets you another week of pre season as well

I can't be arsed to research this at all but I'm sure I read you make somewhere between £2-£3 million from the final.

Would probably be more ticket pricing "reciprocal" b.s. again if was Cov v Leeds in a hypothetical two legged semi, I'd make the allocation for Leeds visit to CBS as small as allowable too for good measure

And managed draws against the other two.

The club do. I just get stress and the expense of going to London

I’m going to be in Madrid for the weekend of the Championship play off final, if we do get there it’ll be the first time I’ve not been at Wembley when we’ve played there.

I was in Madrid for the away semi at Middlesbrough. Though I’d find a bar with game on. No chance as Real were playing Man City in the champions league at the same time

Astute · Feb 18, 2024

I'd take 6th place right now.

The playoffs are a different animal. They're a game leveller. We've done OK against the top sides this season. Some thought I had lost my marbles (if I ever had them) last season when I said we would get top 6 then would beat Middlesbrough and that Luton had the beating of Sunderland. The two outsiders made the final.

But a lot of it will come down to player fitness/injuries. With a fully fit side we can beat anyone. We won't know that part until if/when it happens. That's the same for all sides.

They'll move it mate as we'll be in the FA Cup final so you'll miss the FA Cup but will be back for the Play Off final.

But miss out on wembley gate receipts gentleman's agreement

Look we already had a playoff final Vs. Team that gave us good chance of winning

We lost. Maybe we win in a final we are big underdogs.

higgs · Feb 18, 2024

Let's get there first with a fully fit squad we can beat anyone
