Were in form at the moment; were looking much better. There's always a surprise team with momentum who creeps into the play offs! Could it be us?

I think we need 6 wins. 2 to join those in the top 6 plus 4 more.Quote:

Of course it is possible. If we managed it, it would be one hell of a turn around from great start, terrible middle to great end. I'd be more worried about facing Leeds, Southampton etc, no disrespect, but over 2 legs far better sides than us.
Possible but unlikelyQuote:

Totally agree Richard but we've got a sliver of hope which we didn't have a few weeks ago. I'd settle for a thriller for the last weeks of the season even if we fall short.Quote:

I would settle for us beating the jacks and blooding colwill and Ashford so we can see if they can move towards the first team and therefore helping us understand our true recruitment needs next year.Quote:

Also we need to sort a manager so we CAN actually plan - it's taken a month for our Jan signings to settle
I can’t see both Hull & Norwich collapsing. They both have similar run ins to us, if anything we have the toughest, especially at home. I think we’ll be short by 6 points.
I’m just happy to be safe in the division as i think the safety total will be higher than average this year. Time to relax for the last 9 games and as someone mentioned, blood some of the youngsters.
There is also an opportunity to reinvest a little more money in the squad during the close season due to the not so insignificant EFL T.V deal for 24/25
The new deal represents a 50% increase on the value of the current rights agreement and will see enhanced exposure for all EFL clubs provided through on-air and digital support from Sky Sports to promote EFL competitions, clubs, and community initiatives.
To many teams in same situation
Can’t see it happening but it would be very funny if the jacks went down…..
Its always the hope that kills you. Four wins on the bounce, beating Ipswich yesterday to go 5 points off the playoffs and hardly any games against the top 6 in our run in...
I am starting to think its possible so we'll probably have a collapse in form, sack Bulut and bring back Steve Morrison.
I'd be quite content to finish where we are now and use the rest of the season to settle and prep for next season.
A couple of ‘ ‘ might help :hehe:Quote:

it's not impossible but pretty unlikely. I think the top 7 teams are clearly better than us at the moment.
if Ramsey comes back and elevated us to the next level, one or more of Diedhieu, Grant , meite start to show the kind of goalscoring record that they have done in the past and/or some of the youngsters really kick on to the next level.
more likely is we continue to bumble along at our current level.
I'd estimate we have a less than 10% chance of making the playoffs. and if we did a less than 1 in 4 chance of winning them. - so a 1 or 2% chance of going up this season
Now that West Brom have 63 points, it looks as though Norwich, Hull & Coventry are best placed for the final play-off spot with Preston and Cardiff having an outside chance.
Norwich look to be in pole position given their remaining fixtures.

Hull & Coventry have more demanding fixtures than Norwich.
Preston have a very tough finale.
Cardiff arguably have the easiest run-in and must hope that teams above them will get lots of draws against their nearest rivals.
Clearer view of remaining fixtures:
