TeaCider24 12,399 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 At least we're somehow still only 3 points behind 6th after losing 3 of the last 4. Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus 63 478 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) 6th spot will probably go to the wire. let's hope we can stick thereabouts and put an end of season run together. Edited January 29, 2021 by Erimus 63 Link to post Share on other sites

Boromir 5 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 After yesterday I'm much more positive that we can reach the playoffs. But for me the question is which of the current top six teams will lose their spot? At the moment Bournemouth have a very bad form but I can't see us finishing above any of the other teams (Watford maybe?). On the other hand the two teams behind us both have a game in hand. SO even if Bounremouth drop out of the top six there are other teams than us that could fill this spot. What do you guys thin were we end up? Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 For playoffs we need like 76 points thus need 12 wins out of 19 abit tall order but doable Link to post Share on other sites
boro_fan_in_brum 604 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Need to put a run of wins together and the others to balls up in theory. 7 points off 5th! Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I don't think we'll make it, sadly. We have signed a few players that aren't matchfit so it's gonna be a while before they will be up to speed, so I reckon we will continue to have inconsistent form that will see us drift away. I just can't see us become consistent enough to close the gap and keep a place in the top-6. I pray that Neil will get us there though. I think the teams currently in the top-6 will also be the ones who finish there. Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 With Woodgate at Bournemouth let's hope he can influence things there as well as he did here. Then Watford are a bit of a basket case club that have the ability to either rip the Championship a new one or implode going through another two Managers between now and the end of the season. Reading are doing well but could be suspect when the pressure is on and likely to have a dip in form much as we have just experienced. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,399 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) I'm definitely hoping, rather than expecting, but you only need to look at Nottingham Forest last season to see that a team can drop out of the top 6 against the odds. There's usually a team in the play-offs at this point that doesn't stay in it. After 27 games: 2019/20 - Forest were 5th and finished 7th. 2018/19 - Middlesbrough were 5th and finished 7th. 2017/18 - Bristol City were 5th and finished 11th. 2016/17 - Leeds were 5th and finished 7th. 2015/16 - The top 6 stayed the same, though a shuffled order. 2014/15 - Derby were 2nd and finished 8th. 2013/14 - Forest were 5th, finished 11th. 2012/13 - Middlesbrough were 5th and finished 16th! 2011/12 - Middlesbrough were 5th and finished 7th, Leicester were 3rd and finished 9th. 2010/11 - Reading were 5th and finished 9th. I'd go back further, but I think my point stands. Edited February 2, 2021 by TeaCider24 3 Link to post Share on other sites
