boro_fan_in_brum 604 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 So... Who thinks given the microscopic chance that we cwill scrape the playoffs.. Looks like we might go into the final game of the season level with Derby (possibly). Exciting and terrifying at the same time. What you guys think? Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I think in an ideal world we could have done with a draw between Bristol City and Derby. Derby havent got the easiest of last 2 games mind. I think if they lose tomorrow they might "bottle it" in the last game. Although West Brom dont have anything really to play for in it.

WBA can finish 3rd if Leeds bottle it up... Rhink they prefer to play us or Derby over Villa Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Think derby will get an easy win tomorrow and that will be the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Just need Swansea to do us a favour and then Derby to do their end of season bottle job again. Easy as that I suppose :s. Cant be too much to ask :) Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I believe it’s over, done and dusted and expect nothing less. Plus the fact we don’t deserve to be in the play offs, period. I not that bothered to be in the Championship I just hope we play good entertaining football. Link to post Share on other sites
White Band 831 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Mathematically, it is still possible. What I've been struggling with this week is that I don't think I actually want it to happen. I know that probably sounds awful, but we have been gash all season and really do not deserve a play-off spot. I'm at the point now where I just really, really want this season to end. If we get into the play-offs then the club will have less incentive to change anything for next season - they will be able to say "we got into the play-offs which was our objective" and then we will be stuck with another season of Pulis sucking the life out of our club. I know we may well be stuck with Pulis anyways, as reading between the lines that seems to be the message coming out, but getting into the play-offs would give the club more excuse to keep him. We have been awful this season and getting into the play-offs would just paper over cracks without solving anything. If we did somehow manage to get into the play-offs and go up, then we would be absolute mincemeat in the Prem next season. I do not want that. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,227 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Nah it was done when we lost 6 games in a row. Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Personally I hope for the good of football Derby wipe the floor with Swansea, Lampard has set his sided out all season to try and play attractive football. Travesty if this dinosaur takes credit for getting us into the play offs. Let Rotherham be his last game in charge.. Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmy 140 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Looks possible doesn’t it, but can’t see it happening. I think Derby will won tonight, but if not they’ll probably beat West Brom. Will need a huge slice of luck to sneak in. Link to post Share on other sites
gordy1000 22 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 No. Also, Boro don't deserve it. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I think that Big Tony will be with us next year, regardless and I think he's more suited to Premier League survival. I'd love to see us grab that last play-off place, however unlikely it seems. Link to post Share on other sites
Woof Woof 84 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm resigned to the season just fizzling out with no playoffs and in some ways I think that would be preferable to what happened last time, limp performances in the playoffs. I don't think I've ever felt so flat and apathetic. Relegations and the points deduction fiasco spring to mind as bad times but times in which I had hope... but these days I can't see a way forward unless there's massive change at the club with a good and effective new manager and possibly Gibson going too.
