If PPG form stays the same for the final 6 games of the season. We will end on 72, Boro would end on 73. It’s looking like it could all go down to the last day unfortunately.

Forest would end on 82 and Bournemouth would go up in 2nd on 86. However they are playing each other in a 6 Pointer to ultimately decide 2nd place.

Saturday is a really vital game for the season. Win and we’ve got over a huge hump towards making PO’s (and proven our credentials for beating them in a PO Semi final), lose, and we are on our way out of contention

Lose Saturday, win the next 4 and we are in. We have no games left against direct competition for 3rd-6th. All 6 games are of equal importance
 
We have 4 at home 2 away, this is good news for us given the home form
 
Forest are in. Think Boro will be as well. Blackburn have decent fixtures but think we just need to finish above either Luton or Huddersfield. Win Saturday and we're above one of them as they play each other.
 
Play off semis................... we beat boro, forest beat Huddersfield

Play off final .................... we beat forest.

If form stats were owt to go by we'd have won our last 3 play off finals. Nope, the football gods decide, and this year our name is written on it :cool:
 
Form is temporary, after all it wasn't so long ago we were top of the form table over an 8 game stretch.

Comes down to who wants it more in these final games plain and simple.
I would imagine that Barnsley want to stay up as much as Reading and that Rotherham want to go up just as much as Wigan and MK Dons - not just about desire
 
I don’t think Middlesbrough will make the play offs. Can see Forest catching Bournemouth so I will go Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Us, Blackburn
 
I don't think I've ever seen the blue and white hooped team from Shepherd's Bush described as "QP Rangers" before.
 
Worth noting that Bournemouth must be thinking they need to get some consistency to keep the chasing playoff pack at bay.

Bournemouth dominated possession vs. West Brom.
I don't think we would want to give up the possession as much as the baggies but at 2-0 up you can afford to a little.

I think that result last night just proves this league though. We could go and beat Bournemouth and not beat Reading.

Ultimately we are going to either pick up the points or not to make the top 6. It's down to the squad and the fans to give us the best chance at doing so.

Forest are v.much in form. If they keep it up till the season end then they will be the form team in the playoffs. Will they though?
 
I hope we make it, but I just have this feeling all these injuries have royally fked us up

Had we had something like a full squad available, I'm pretty sure we would be sitting comfortably inside the top 6 now
