Teams have good and bad patches besides the best and worst teams .. what's to say West brom don't win 9 from 11 ? Weve just won 8 in 9 what's to say blackburn don't win 7 from the last 11 .

I'm not sure football works like you say most of the time at all

West Brom might do that.

Blackburn might also do it.

Chances of them both doing it is remote

Might also be Bristol City in the mix too if they win their game in hand .

Either way I just feel like 5 wins cant be seen as enough

Worse case scenario will take us to 70 point from remaining games:

Stoke h - W
Derby a - W
Sunderland h - D
SU a - L
Burnley H - L
Pompey H - W
Hull a - D
WB h - D
Plymouth a -D
Luton a - D
Boro h - W

Confident we will do it.

Blackburn have their new manager too. A good point today against Norwich, if they put a decent run together that could secure one place.

Let's not get carried away, I've said I think we will do it but won't lose my head if we don't. Losing Rudi could be a big hit.

The problem is Derby, Plymouth, Luton and Hull will be fighting for their lives, so potentially not easy fixtures.

Just got to try and keep the winning form going.

I remember going to Meadow Lane & being pissed off when they did us 2-1, and then going back a month or 6 weeks later...

Imagine the scenes... coming back there to do them en route to Wembley!

If we had just drew at home with Norwich most of this forum would be saying it’s 2 points lost!

I think we'll make the play offs, but i doubt we'll win them.

Mind you, I expected us to lose to Boro over 2 legs.

I don't think anybody could have expected this when Lampard came in. Could they? I was hoping to be in the top 10 from where we were.

I will be a bit disappointed if we don't make it, although if Rudoni is out for a while, I will lower my expectations.

Hopefully Burnley can overtake Sheff Utd, cus I fancy us beating them more than Burnley.

Assuming it falls that way of course.

It goes without saying its in our hands now.

We're still so unconvincing at the back though, we'd still be heavy underdogs against Sunderland or Burnley over two legs in my eyes, regardless of the form table.

Not sure but I'm not sure even a fully fit Torp could do what Rudoni does.

Starting to look like it's between those in 11th maybe 12th and above. Millwall who are in 12th would have to win their game in hand to keep in contention. I hope they do as their game in hand is on Tuesday at home to Bristol City. They are 4 points behind us with the same GD.

You're right, but better than nothing at all in terms of a replacement.

Potentially 4–2-2 once Wright is ready to start now with Rudoni injury:

Dovin
MVE Thomas Kitch Bidwell
Tatsu Sheaf Grimes EMC
Simms Wright

4–1-2-3 maybe till Wright is ready to start and Rudoni put:


Dovin
MVE Thomas Kitch Bidwell
Grimes
Torp Sheaf
Tatsu Simms EMC

Suppose it could be a different kind of disappointment not making it. Disappointed we were quite unlucky after a brilliant turnaround is different to disappointment over being at the top and bottling it.

Disappointment all the same, I don’t really know what I’m going on about

Agreed with this. I do think this sense of an inevitable loss or draw is because of our early form and there’s a disbelief that we’re winning so many games. There’s a reason many people fancied us to be top 3 or 4 before the season started, we’ve addressed the biggest positional need going into the season, CM.

The games where I feel like we’ll lose are Sheffield United and Burnley. We got a result v Sheff U back in Nov when our form was in the toilet and Burnley don’t score many goals so they are two games where we could get points from.

Sod’s Law will mean that we’ll lose or draw to Stoke or Derby and then respond by beating Sunderland. Win our next 2 games and there will surely be daylight between us and 7th.
