Charlie0016 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Quick question for you all , would you take 6th place now and risk play off heartbreak ? Or would you see if we could push for an automatic spot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHeadDan Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Definitely take 6th. Progression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Corner Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Should always aim for top 2. Playoffs would be great though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Think there will be at least two better teams than us probably Leeds and Fulham, would take 6th but we all know how that would end, I'm probably fairly happy to be battling at the top end of the championship.

Sir Geoff Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 NO dont want to play team finishing 3rd in play off. We will finish higher than 6th. Would accept 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Would take it now, yes. Top 2 a possible though especially if Leeds get injuries or suspensions to their first 11 as their squad is not very deep. Swansea are the surprise package so far and could give mighty Leeds a shock tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Absolutely would take top six, 100%. Getting even that this season will be a tough ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I've got to say no to 6th! I just feel there's the potential for this team to do better and I'm willing to risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I think we genuinely have in this squad now what it takes to have a battle at the top 2 so no would be my answer to 6th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think these questions are better phrased as ‘How would you feel if we finished 6th’. Me? Pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Much depends on how we do up to March next year. It would very disappointing to finish 6th having been in and around the promotion places pretty much all season. On other hand a late run of good results elevating us into the 6th pray off spot would be a good season. Probably better to ask the same question in the spring of next year.......

OldlandReddies Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 If we are in top 6 come January and still have a chance of top 2 then I think we will strengthen again by adding a couple more decent signings for a big push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we were 2nd at Christmas a couple of seasons ago and we all know how that season turned out, so waiting till Christmas for any idea will tell us nothing. This is city we are talking about.

Ska Junkie Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 To the question set by the OP, nah? We have the potential to finish higher. Is the top 2 a justified target? Why not but 3rd or 4th is where we should be aiming and the top 2 is possible given a fair wind injury wise and potential additions in January. Why not eh?

TBW Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Absolutely. Playoffs is a lottery so only way I don't take a free playoff position is if we're excessively confident of top two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so. A good January could be the difference. We’ve got it wrong in the last couple of years and faded when it truly mattered. Not for the want of trying I’m sure. Just hope we’ve learnt from it.

Your appreciation is wrong as that's simply not true. Your reading comprehension must also be off as well. The part I highlighted in his post said "the 6th pray off place". Quite simply (and this really shouldn't need explaining, but hey, apparently it does for you) there aren't 6 play off places. If that were the case, we would have been in them last season.
