Knowing us we'll probably lose the first two, and be out of it. And then Hull will roll up needing the points from the last game of the season. we'll be out of the running and they'll win 1-0 just like they did a few year back when dean Windass was playing (I think?).

If Leeds win today, then we are in pole position with 3 winnable games left. Can we step up to the plate?

Sadly, Leeds are going up this time, but I suppose Brentford's form means that they are not in a position really to gain a measure of revenge for all of the misery we've inflicted on them since 2002 by letting the jacks win today. If Swansea do win though, I think a two point deficit will be very tough to overcome, especially with a current goal difference disadvantage of two.

It won't be easy, but could yes however we are assuming others will win all their games , I don't think we will all ours though, those sides with relegation hovering over them can as tough to beat than the Fulham's of the world.

Looking at it another way, wouldn’t it be funny, if Abertawe Town were to beat Weeds, this sending them on a spiral of depression, that they miss out on automatic promotion.
Abertawe, get overconfident and lose their last 3.

We win our last 3 and play Weeds in the playoffs, where we smash the f uck out of them again :hehe:

If only Carling, did football scenarios :hehe:

PERFECTION :ayatollah:

This is Cardiff City we are talking about. Knowing our luck we will need to win 3 nil v Hull and need the Jack's to lose their last match, which they do. We win 2 nil V Hull and the Jack's squeeze in to the play offs on goal difference. They say Rotherham is nice in August.

That's pretty much as I see it.

The points available in those two games mentioned are worth as much as in the big games but people seem to put more emphasis on the games against Derby etc. Had we beaten those two we would be out of sight and need maybe one win from these remaining games.

As I said to a friend during the run in, if we don't get there we won't have deserved it. If we don't them a part of me is glad as I couldn't see City progressing if we did. You have to be there to win it I know but we've shown a soft underbelly when put under pressure this season once too often.

If we win our three remaining games I think we'll make it. That would still leave Swansea needing to get 10 points from their last four, meaning at least 4 points from Leeds & Forest. If they manage to do that then fair enough they deserve it

Yes me too. One niggling doubt which would dampen my elation at getting a play off place is that even if we pulled off a miracle by beating Brentford or Fulham in the final, our board would revert to type and we would be a mockery again in the Premier because of underfunding.

There would be a certain satisfaction watching Brentford rip them apart in the playoffs.

Re: If Swansea draw, and Derby and Preston win

So there we have it.
A season that seemed to be petering out with no reason to get excited, and low and behold, suddenly 3 wins and we’re in the the play offs.
3 wins that are not impossible, against 3 teams who will also be under pressure.
Nothing worse than needing 3 points against a team who has nothing to play for and can relax.
Can we get to the play offs? I doubt it. Can we win the play offs if we get there? I doubt it.
Been. a city fan too long to be optimistic, but you never know. If Sludge can get his Nat King, then anything can happen. Cmon you mighty Bluebirds!!!. .
