KIDS ON MONDAY

It’d be good to see some of the youngsters on the fringes given some game time before the season is over.

However, whilst I think we’re out of it, the club still has to fight until playoffs are mathematically impossible, so I don’t think they’ll play too many just yet. A couple of crazy weeks and we’d be right back in the mix, as unlikely as it is, but that’s what the championship can be like.

Five of the teams currently in the top 6 were in the top 6 in Dec 2020, 20 games ago. Barnsley have replaced Bournemouth, who are currently 7th.

This notion that teams hurtle up the Championship is pretty fanciful.

Like I said, I don’t think we’ll make the playoffs, even with some good results. But the club will most likely try by playing first team players until it’s no longer possible, that means we probably won’t see loads of kids just yet.

Also, we know from painful experience that a team can drop out of the playoff positions late in the season. Of course you don’t get loads of teams flying up the table every season but teams do occasionally go on long runs in the champ and move up, Sunderland’s might be the extreme example but it certainly happens and if we some how managed to do it, it wouldn’t even be that long a run. But yes, highly unlikely based on our squad etc.

Anyway, my original point is saying what I think the club will do, not necessarily what I’d like to see myself. 👍🏻
 
We need to have some kind of form going into next season. I'm not sure we should throw away all the hard work and finish 12-14th.

That said Bournemouth / Watford and Barnsley couldn't have been much tougher😂

I'm not sure we have a squad to throw in the kids. We are lightweight in a few positions and suddenly top heavy with wingers and forwards (used loosely).
