Ok if we are to be in the mix...

[exeterboro]

...then iits 3 other teams results we are in reality looking at as well as our own. If we win the game in hand then we go above Cardiff and Preston on GD, and because if we are to be in the mix we must keep.om winning and leave them behind to catch the 3 real targets, Norwich, Hull and Coventry. My gut says Coventry will take 6th spot but I had a look at their fixtures and they are tough, so I don't know , Norwich will get good results but will loose unexpected games as well because I feel they are prone to it and Hull I'm not sure about but at least if we do go on a winning run we have to play them so you can see that either way as a plus or minus

If we get beat at Brum obviously this is just a load of cack and actually I probably prefer it if my blood pressure is kept down and I get to see some of the youngsters hopefully get a run out in the remaining matches in a relaxed atmosphere.

My Dr will probably suggest that I should stick to playing with my crayons and not get worked up about crazy dreams.

WBA losing

 

[BoroPhil]

I think if we win our next two games we have a chance but in April we have a run of Hull away, Ipswich away, Leeds home and that is a tough 3 games.

 

[homesickblues]

Just leave it, its the hope that kills. Next season perhaps.

 

[Nottyboy]

It's not on. Granted if we were to win on Tue we would be 5 points behind sixth and it might seem like it but we have to play Southampton, Ipswich, Hull and Leeds. Can't see us picking up enough points there to keep it going plus we'll probably drop points to some of the lesser teams as well.

We don't have a game in hand on Preston.

After yesterday's result I've rebooked a hotel for Wembley.

I've booked, cancelled and rebooked at the same hotel 4 times in the last two months. They must be sick of me.

Latest odds are :

Promotion 66/1
Top 6 13/1
Relegation 25/1

They look very skinny to me. We need to win at least 7 of our last 10 games to reach the top 6. Relegation should be longer odds too.

Up-coming fixtures:


Tuesday 12th March

* Brum v Boro.
Boro keep marching on and kick the Blues when they are down. Three points please.


Saturday 16th March

* Swansea v Cardiff means form goes out the window, with Swansea at home and needing the points more. Luke Williams could do a job on Cardiff.

* Birmingham v Watford could be a draw, with Watford's new manager and Brum in a battle to get further up the table. After we beat them on Tuesday. Six points separate the two teams.

* Ipswich need to beat Sheffield Wednesday to keep in the automatic promo race, especially after conceding two against Cardiff in injury time.

* Preston are away to Plymouth, who need the points, so hopefully they get knacked on their travels.

* Rotherham and Huddersfield are like two old boxers slugging it out. The terriers are third bottom after that 4-1 drubbing by West Brom today.

* Norwich travel to Stoke, with form and place saying they should win. But Stoke are like a wasp in a space-suit and not nice to play at their place. Hopefully the Canaries will get choked in the Potteries.

* QPR will beat Sunlun at Loftus Road. With an incompetent Manager, no Jack Clarke and a team low on morale, the Wearside Kids have got no chance. Five defeats out of five tells the story.

* West Brom have won three and drawn two in the last five, scoring 12 goals and conceding only 5. Will be too much for Bristol City at home.

* Apart from Leicester, Leeds have played four teams in the bottom half of the table in the last five with four victories: [Plymouth 0-3 / Leicester 1-3 / Huddersfield 1-1 / Stoke 0-1 / Sheffield Wednesday 0-2]. Form says they should beat Millwall, 36 points and 14 places below the Elland Road outfit.

WBA can't be caught it's Norwich that are our only hope assuming we win our games. Reality is it won't happen as we've messed up in recruitment and letting go

25/1 to be relegated? We're 500/1 with most.
We're probably already safe tbh.

 

[Ayresome_park]

We just need to finish the season strong and prepare for next seasons promotion battle!! We ain't making the play offs but I've always thought next season will be the real deal should we really want it

 

[Will_Graham]

It's unlikely but definitely a case of just keep winning and see where it takes us. You never know.

 

[Nano]

We were 150/1 to be relegated last week and we've won twice since then. Bet365 have us at 500/1 now. Strangely we were 20/1 to finish top 6 and after 2 wins we're now 25/1.

 

[TeaCider]

It's still very unlikely.

Win tomorrow and there's a chance, but we'd still need to go on a winning run that I wouldn't expect.

It'll be great if we still have something to play for after tomorrow though, whatever happens in the games after it.

That's the crux of the matter. You want it to be possible right to the end of the season. The jeopardy of missing out makes the games more fun.
