Pathway to the Playoffs

[PeterNdlovu081]

I’m shocked that there’s’ still belief we have a chance with the way we’ve been playing.

The bookies now have us at 20/1 for a top six finish which is ridiculous.

I'd want at least 100/1.

Path to the playoffs?

• Finish this season
• Recruit well
• Play 46 games and make 75-80 points next season.

Can’t we just carry over the points we didn’t need from last year?

Although the Selles era definitely didn’t help, if the goal was playoffs, Wilder for all his success of turning it around has to take some of the blame both games against Norwich and West Brom we dropped points in, a top 6 side win those types of games. That’s 10 points dropped from those 4 fixtures, that would put us on the same points (60) as Wrexham and Southampton and that’s not going into detail about other winnable fixtures. Just need to see ourselves safe and regroup and write this season off

The Norwich home game was very unfortunate. We were on great form, just hammered Stoke and then got a winter virus what caused 8 changes. I’d have expected a win without this.

It’s not just Sellés’ six games. It’s the entire summer that preceded it.

We lost time without a decent number 9. Wilder would have kept Moore. He’d also have signed far better loans in my view. Aside from Bindon, most of the others either got sent back or can’t make the bench.

Plus confidence was rock bottom.

To boil it down to just the 6 defeats does undersell the damage that went with it.

It would’ve been a mistake to keep Moore. It was a great deal to get a fee for a highly paid 33 year old injury prone average Championship striker.

The problem was we didn’t replace him during the summer transfer window.

Possibly a bit harsh on the Norwich home match from my side but going 1-0 up at home we should have gone on to win it. It would have been interesting summer if Wilder would have continued, I think McBurnie would have likely returned, would we have signed Bamford too? It’s difficult with Moore as at 32 a £2million offer was probably about right and him and his agent might have pushed the deal knowing he wouldn’t get the move to Wrexham if they get in the Premier League. The decision to sack Wilder I didn’t have a problem with for me it was about learning from past mistakes and not recruiting someone without experience

reight happy , just think of money saved going all that way again to lose !! Thank fuck there no chance were getting in them !!

It's back on!

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

London n the Midlands in the top 4 lol

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

It's back on!

Leicester will be very disappointed missing out on automatic promotion, they should have run away with it whereas Wednesday will sell 21st as a victory and create a huge folklore about their past glory days for their future generations of fans.

It's back on!

Hamer to QPR in the summer then???

Unfortunate for both teams as they had loads missing - just saying

Not now Sothampton have won tonight.

Not now Sothampton have won tonight.

Southampton won again today which means play offs are officially out of reach. They have 69 points and Hull in 6th have 68. The maximum we can get is 66. Play-offs were effectively over midweek but not mathematically

Still a miniscule chance of relegation I think. Not checked all the fixtures but if Oxford win their next four they can get to 56 points. If we lose our next four we remain on 54. But then there are five other teams below is that must out-perform us too. We might even be safe now.

Looks like those saying 71 could be good enough for play-offs will probably be wrong. More likely to be 74 or 75
