To improve it, we have to win games... so it tends to look after itself over time.
We've got to improve it over the next 3 games, I'd say at least to +9. It's likely to take a knock back somewhere along the following 3. I think it's going to be crucial.
I don’t think we need to worry too much. We’re one GD behind Blackburn & Bristol, 4 behind Norwich and finally 9 behind WBA. WBA have some tough away fixtures coming up so we could easily get close to parity.
If we keep the wins coming we’ll break into the playoffs this weekend as I can’t see WBA winning away at Leeds. From there, it’s just keeping above them.
I guess that bit is my point really. It's all very close and after WBA's difficult game they will probably be closer. 4 teams on very similar GD.
I get that winning games is the most important bit, but the next 3 presents us an opportunity to add a few more than just +1 each time.
I get the thinking behind the OP, and I may look silly not worrying about it come the end, but I'd take that now over a 6-0 win & 2 1-0 defeats with a +4!if we win the next 3 1-0 , then dont worry
Hate this over confidenceAgreed but GD isn’t worth fixating on because it’s always a nice to have. If we win the next 3 our GD will be +7 at a minimum and the GD will largely take care of itself because the teams around us are playing themselves/the top 4 teams.
If we play the way we did at the weekend against Oxford, we probably would batter them 3 or 4 nil.
Love how we jump on the play off push and assume we should smash Oxford, Stoke and Deby to get the GD up. Because that is exactly how this league works...
Hate this over confidence
Me too. It’s not so long ago people had their neck in a noose as we were getting relegated. In the last 3 weeks we seem to have gone in so many people’s mind to clear favourites to make the play offs. Just enjoy it and start worrying about these things come Easter.Hate this over confidence

Exactly... and if it is looking like GD might come into play, just use the old South American / Italian tactic of good, old, bribery!Just enjoy it and start worrying about these things come Easter.

The team has earned the right to feel confident because they are starting to perform at a level in line with the hype going into this season where we were fancied to finish top 4.
We’ve got a good run-in too so the reasonable expectation now is to finish in the top 6 and we’re well in control of our destiny.
Add to that we now seem to be the ‘best of the rest’ pick for the bookies (excluding current top 4).
I think it will be Sunderland in the SF and Burnley in the final. I'd settle for that right now as well.Exactly, Sunderland are probably out of reach but considering we’ve got them at home soon, there’s an outside chance we could catch them. Though I wouldn’t bet on it.
Putting past results against Sunderland aside, on form alone, Sunderland would hate to meet us in the Playoff semi-final.
I’d like to see a Blackburn v Burnley SF and somehow Burnley bottle it.
Those type of results will happen out of nowhere, but the best they can hope for is probably a draw.You watch WBA beat Leeds! It's Cov innit!
I can't see anything other than finishing 4th or 5th and clear of 6th. So not worried about GD.Our goal difference is likely to be one of the poorer ones in play off push.A bit late to change that and don't have the players to produce 4 or 5 nil wins.
Just have to try and win as many as possible and avoid losing. Totally obvious I know.
Rather calm. We have it in our own hands to do it clear on points.How we feeling about GD now?
Edgy.How we feeling about GD now?
It can make a huge difference when things are so close. Its stupid to discount it.Don’t care about GD, its pts that carry you over the line
