Unan Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I can't see us catching anyone other than Preston, in my opinion it's a battle between the 2 of us for 6th. Lets just hope it doesn't come down to the last day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I got a friend who is a Preston fan, when the fixtures were released back in June I said they will either beat us for the last playoff place or meet us in the playoffs and beat us then. I really hope it is all sorted one way or the other before the last day, I'd rather miss out by a couple of points than just one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAZ MICHAELS Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 13 games to go and only 3 points behind Fulham who are 3rd (who lost 3 nil at home to Barnsley today by the way). There's not actually that much 'catching' to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 A lot on here hope Leeds don’t get automatically promoted,let’s hope they do because if we make the playoffs it will be embarrassing getting thumped over two legs by them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I don`t rule out catching Forest or Brentford - both are having a bit of a blip ATM. Brentford have drawn their last two and Forest lost one and drawn one. If we can beat Baggies, anything is possible. I am starting to think it`s going to be Blackburn who come with a late run too.

WSMRobin Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 A lot of games left between now and the end of the season and none of the contenders for the play offs are consistent with form. It seems I change my mind on a weekly basis if we'll make it or not, and I dare say that will continue over the following weeks. If we can get and keep our players fit and get the new players to gel in quickly then I do believe we will be in the top 6 at the end of the season.

weepywall Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 We could finish top 6 but it wont matter as we never win play offs just like we never beat Leeds, not sure I can face another championship play off failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I have to agree with the general consensus that IF we were to reach the play-offs I wouldn’t hold out much hope.. i think losing this time around in them will be much more difficult to swallow for the board and the whole club than the 2008 final loss to Hull was.

Always amazes me how quickly people make statements despite seeing week in week out how unpredictable the championship is across the board. Only a few weeks ago Leeds had a seemingly insurmountable gap and had promotion all but wrapped up. Awful lot of football to be played yet. Come on people, were not Swindon!

BCFC Grim Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I don't think we are great but to say it is down to the two of us is ridiculous. It wouldn't surprise we if we finished 3rd or 10th. This league is bang average and anyone can beat anyone. We are still well in the race for the play offs. I can see why today has lowered expectations as we were so poor but hopefully we can learn from aspects of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrongagain Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Twists and turns not enough to help us, we should be in a position to make our own luck, look how we started today, formation and players! Even in this current fickle competition we don’t have the leadership to steer us forward - the captain is lost at sea and out of ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the frampton balti Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Just look at us we dont have anything about us apart from a fantastic keeper.....do we.? Why are we even anywhere near contention. If there is a team in there then lets let johnson spin the tombolololo again and find it . I have not seen us win a game convincingly all season . And i have seen most of them. As a positive when we find the right combination i genuinely believe we can make 6th or win ths league. Cos there is nothing wrong with this squad . They just need fire in the belly and a direction. Im not havin a go at lee johnson I just feel he hasnt found the right combination yet. This is understandable but lets face it we dont look the full ticket in 19/20 ....do we? Reckon we stick to end of season . We might get luckier still but we ve been lucky so far imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCulturalBomb Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 In 5 games time the table will have surprises, shocks and form teams no one is expecting. This really is an impossible league to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the dynamic of the league positions changes after every set of games, and god knows we are very capable of going on runs of losing 5 games on the trot. Nothing is guaranteed until its sorted mathematically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely! We are still a few quality players short of being a team that you would have some confidence in to win the Play Offs. IMO I'd rather not bother, especially that it may give the SAGS another player to worship along with Windass. Get in another quality defender, Midfielder and Striker and I'd feel we'd have a chance.

I can see why today has lowered expectations as we were so poor but hopefully we can learn from aspects of today. We have bought in three new players who have yet to settle in . We also may have Afobe back for the last few matches of the season. We will get used to playing without Brownhill. We have SuperDan . Historically , we only need to win seven more matches to finish in the top six at the end of the season which is very doable . I say it is still all to play for and if we reach the play offs we will have a real chance as , like cup matches , they are a bit of a gamble. Keep the faith.

I’m not so sure. When I read this I thought that’s a good point. 2008 would have been back to back promotions iirc so failure was plausible. Now, however, the club has a lot more to fall back on. The youth/academy setup and the loan system makes us able to respond to a failure like that better, so it wouldn’t be as catastrophic, in my opinion. To the point where I don’t think we’d go back down to L1. Actually, a failure like that might make us stronger. Also there’s never a good time to lose a playoff final. The beauty about the playoffs is you need some luck to get there and even more luck to win it. If luck is on our side then I think we can do it. Now hear me out. I watched 90 mins of the Leeds game on robins tv and whilst they were all over us part of me thinks we could have nicked it. Or at least a draw. Yes Bentley kept us in the game but it reminded me a lot of the Fulham away game this season. All them then, but we nicked it. If the team that played Fulham played Leeds today and performed the same we could have won it. We just needed to be more clinical, classy and professional on the ball, as we were at Fulham. The team that day had much longer to gel and that is where Lady Luck can get us into the playoffs. LJ doesn’t know his strongest team yet especially as 3 new signings are finding their feet. IF (its a big if hence the caps) but IF they gel, particularly Nahki and Fam, I think we’re in with a ****ing shout. Taking one week at a time a draw against West Brum and we’re still in the mixer. And if there’s one player that could win us a playoff final it’s Sir Daniel Bentley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
