villa slaughtered wolves
came a cropper at home to QPR

GO FIGURE

football results eh

 

[Dkc]

Looking like 6 teams or 7 if you include Brentford will be fighting for the final two play off spots. We are just 3 points behind Derby in 5th and have as good a chance as any of the other six. Perhaps better given our run-in

 

[Edinblade]

Can someone pinch me:
2 points off playoffs mid March with 9 to go, absolutely incredible.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

If we won the play-offs I’d be very surprised. We aren’t good enough.

Wilder would deserve a statue, immediately!

 

[Iceybabey]

Would have been brilliant to have got at least 3 more points from the Hull and Ipswich games. Oh well, if we beat the Scabs on Satdeh then I reckon we might get a COME OOOOONNN from the Kop as the players leave the pitch.

never stopped other no hopers winning
you get a 1 in 4 chance to win
no need to fear any team thats not good enough to get auto , thats the argument

 

[1993]

Tough games for the 2 above us this weekend too! Boro away at Brentford and Derby at home to Cardiff. A win Saturday could see us into the top 6.

 

[blade too long]

3 points off 5th

theres 2 opportunities to get in play offs , to displace boro or derby

derby are currently bottom of the form table last 6

some people need to take that in

ignore all them behind us , ,just a distraction

Gi oeer - 3/4 of the kop will have walked out on the final whistle to beat the traffic as per usual

I must admit your optimism is commendable, borders on fanaticism, but that's just a posh word for fans I suppose. Still interesting how you can claim a 2-0 home win against possibly the second worst team in the division suddenly launches out Premiership assault ?
Most of the teams above us have given us a pasting, Brizzle did the double over us, and they are below us!
Still, you are welcome to your opinions, as am I of course.
And for what it's worth, I really hope you're right and I'm wrong, I won't be holding my breath though.
As for your offer of play-off tickets, not this season thanks, thrice bitten four times shy I'm afraid.

Do we play Bristol 3 times in a season? Last I checked we’ve only played them once..

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

We'll be in top 6 - said so before the season started; said it many times since - sick of having to repeat it for the pessimists on this forum - Chill out guys and enjoy the ride.

We play Bristol City away on May 6 - last match of the season. Also, it's hardly true that most of the teams above us have given us a pasting. We took four points off Derby, we beat Wolves comfortably at the Lane and we probably should have taken four points off Villa. We haven't played Cardiff at home yet, so there's a chance of revenge for the defeat there - which wasn't a pasting either. If we do get to the play-offs, we'll have a decent chance, I reckon.

 

[PokerBlade]

Honestly thought there was a chance that we'd be counting up the fixtures trying to find our way to safety at this point, so personally every game now is a bonus to me whether it's vintage football or not. After six years of hating being in League One I'm happy to just enjoy the ride.

 

[Dkc]

Three big games at the Lane against play off rivals coming up:


Monday 2nd April

• Sheffield United v Cardiff City

Tuesday 10th April

• Sheffield United v Middlesbrough

Saturday 14th April

Sheffield Unitedv Millwall

 

[100% part time blade]

Middlesborough 61
Sufc 59
Bristol 58
Preston 57
Millwall 55

I assume it’s already been pointed out elsewhere that in our run in we play all 4 of these teams (plus Birmingham) in the last 5 matches of the season. Should make for some great games if we are still there or thereabouts after Easter (and I think we will be).

 

[Roygbiv]

Just read a post on Owlstalk saying "us and united will be scrapping to stop up next season the way things are going "

Yeah because we are really in the same sort of form as them aren't we

 

[Valleyblade]

Can we stop singing "we're not going to wemberley" in that case?

Perhaps we could replace it with, wait for it, "we're all going to wemberley"

That'd make more sense, under the circumstances.
