I put my phone down and the game was 1 nil at about 70 minutes.
20 minutes later I checked the score again :ayatollah:
Hopefully 3 points versus burton and get players in. WHo knows :sherlock:
What other game can offer such a scenario? Doom and gloom relegation battle then within 20 minutes a promotion challenge :thumbup:Quote:

6 of the next 7 games look daunting but we have to believe
Sheffield Wednesday, who are currently in sixth place, would finish the season on 77 points if they maintained their form to the end of the season. That would be an unusually high cut-off for the final playoff place.
So even if the sixth placed team ended up on 73 points, we would need to win 13 and draw four of our remaining 21 games to gain that number of points.
That seems a tall order as it would normally represent league winning form.
I reckon, given our form since NW took over, that we will finish on 63 points and in eleventh place.
^^
Any top-half place would be a great achievement, from where we were when NW took over.
It would take a miracle to reach the play offs and a bigger miracle for Warnock to be with us next season.
Why is it a bigger miracle if he stays?Quote:

Playoffs Possible...Maybe, but very, very unlikely.
I am enjoying this season more than many recent ones, but I think we need to push on, keep Warnock and build for next season and not get too far ahead of ourselves.
Not a chance in my eyes.
There's too many good teams in and around the play offs never mind some really in form teams already in them.
We haven't got the squad to compete. We're short of real quality upfront and out wide.
He decided not to stay with Rotherham after saving them last season, but apart from that what in his recent managerial record leads you to say 'he tends to.... then move on....' When he has left a club before it is almost always because he has been sacked (or 'let go'). His second spell at QPR was just a short term consultant/caretaker arrangement.Quote:

If we get more than 5 points from our next 7 games we would have done well. Be content with staying up!
No it isn't. We'd need Championship winning form between now and the end of the season. We might have won two on the trot but there's been nothing to suggest we could go on a major winning streak,especially with our defensive record.Quote:

The many millions required to get us anywhere near promotion simply is not there and frankly I'm glad because the last thing I want is for the club to get into deeper debt which potentially could threaten its very existence. While the optimism is laudable the reality is likely to be far different.Quote:

From where we are i think getting to 7th would be a play off push :hehe:Quote:

I think you should seek help? We are very very average today and can consider ourselves fortunate to go away with three points. We have no chance of making the play offs playing like we do and with our forward line. TUrner took zohore out of his pocket to allow him to be substituted and poor Ricky cannot raise a jog let alone a gallop. No chanceQuote:

That was two poor sides today. Its a testimony to NW and the squad that we are picking up points but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Pulling away form the relegation zone is a heck of an achievement but IMO play off hopes will soon drift away in the next 4 weeks. Hope Im wrong but Im more concerned that we finish as high as poss to persuade VT to back us next year
We have never looked close to being a playoff side this season. No chance.
I had a bet on city to make the top 6 at 80/1 so I put a tenner on it -will trouser £810, also on another bet if Swansea stay up I will get an extra 367 quid o top of that !
Worth a tenner innit?
if you can afford to lose it yep
Bump. Close, it would seem, but no cigarQuote:
