tylergomez 53 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Just been looking through the fixtures and the table. Our run in is mad. 6 games left and we play the team directly above us, and the 3 directly below. 6 pointers all round! You couldn’t script it. Do people see our run in as tough? Or as a blessing that it is in our own hands to take points off direct rivals? Link to post Share on other sites
Teacider 108 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Definitely a blessing for me. If we can't beat those around us we don't deserve to be in the playoffs. If we do get the points we need it means we've worked out how to get points from the better teams in the league and we'll go into the playoffs with momentum. The fact we're still in with a chance is surprising to me and I honestly don't think we'll make it, but playing those around us means we still have a shot Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I think it's gonna be hugely tough and I don't see it ending well at all. Unless the Burton game is foreshadowing a flip in terms of who we pick our points off, I just can't see us staying in the top 6. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,176 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Will stay with comments made in the play off thread our lack of ability to beat those teams in and around us has been so poor that our current form does not suggest to me that we will turn it around, however the rest save Millwall are just as bad. Win today and get a point from the Sheff Utd game will set us up but if we lose today after the visit of Aitor and his band of merry men then I think we can say adios to the top 6 spot Link to post Share on other sites

If we beat those clubs and get into the playoffs we might all feel a bit better about going again next season with a few additions. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,227 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Makes it pretty simple for us really. If we do enough from here to get in the play offs then it means we have taken points off other good teams and can feel good about being there. If we can't do it against 6th-9th sort of sides then let's be honest we're not good enough to play a Villa, Fulham or Cardiff over two legs. Hopefully Burton was a very bad day at the office and today gets some confidence back ahead of the 6 pointers. Link to post Share on other sites

Or as a blessing that it is in our own hands to take points off direct rivals? Our run in is really tough, bearing in mind what we haven't done against the top sides in the division, Ipswich away is Mccarthy's last game in charge so I would imagine the players will want to wish him a farewell with a win so no doubt they'll be up for it.
