Can we catch Sheff Utd?

[allied_assault]

They didn’t look that great to me today against Rotherham

 

[johnmfc]

Absolutely can, and wouldn't it be great to pip them to second spot.

 

[Willow]

Not impossible, but unlikely. We need to just stay consistent until end of season. They would need to collapse. Anything less than three points at bramell lane and it's game over for that dream.

Would be a legendry end to the season if we even came close I reckon.

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

If we beat them week after next then it will drastically reduce the odds, but even then it will still be a big ask.

 

[BaronSmoggie]

If we beat them to 2nd place, I know this is childish, but man would I love to see Wilder's face after that nonsense Sky Sports interview where he didn't even predict us to finish top 6.

 

[UTB70]

Luron could have a say. Winning at sheff utd is key though. Yes it cannbe done IF we continue our form

 

[joeydiaz]

Absolutely yes. It’s more likely to happen than not if you ask me.

 

[Nottyboy]

It would be a huge ask. Although we got 2 points back on them today they still have a game in hand so could be 13 points to claw back. It would require both that we maintain our excellent run and they have something of a collapse in form so overall still unlikely. As said we would have to beat them at Bramall Lane for sure.

No.
Effectively 13 points gap & 16 games to go.
They can afford to lose to us, Burnley & have 4 draws and we'd need still to be perfect including beating Burnley.

 

[brattleboro]

realistically no,and i think most people realise that,but i will still be hoping

 

[Linny]

No. Too big a mountain to climb. Can’t believe we are in the play offs after our start to the season.

 

[Alwaysaborolad]

No I don't think we will, but we can and will beat anyone around us in the playoffs, we are getting better and better, and no one will want to play us. UTFB

 

[Cuthbert]

Nah.

 

[Acklam_Lad]

until its mathematically impossible then we have a chance... and I believe we can.

they are going to have a lot of games building up and they dont have much depth... they will start dropping points like this more and more

 

[h_m_boro]

Can't see it......but stranger things have happened. Got to believe we can and keep playing as we are.

Tbh, as already stated I'm just happy where we are after Wilders disastrous start to the season. Playoff's would be a monumental achievement.

Keep playing as we are, would anyone fancy playing us in the playoffs?

 

[newusername]

No.
Effectively 13 points gap & 16 games to go.
They can afford to lose to us, Burnley & have 4 draws and we'd need to be perfect including beating Burnley.

Last 15 games...

 

[Redwurzel]

We have to win the next 2 games to have any chance and thats at least a 6/1 shot.

I would say its around 7% chance to get second.

 

[Nottyboy]

Absolutely yes. It’s more likely to happen than not if you ask me.

Well I like your confidence but your grasp of the concept of probability is questionable

 

[SuperStu]

They play 8 of the top 10 in their next ten matches. Could easily find themselves dropping points here and there. We just need to focus on ourselves and keep the wins coming.

 

[Maccarone]

Unlikely but we can dream.....
