ollywhyte Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 If only Benkovic put away his header on Saturday, it could have been a sea of positivity tonight with a chance to go equal with them tomorrow. In fact even a draw on the weekend would have looked ok now! I can't help but look at the league table and think what a missed opportunity this season has been no one wants 6th!

eardun Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Not over yet! I’m trying to decide who I’d prefer to make the 6th spot (assuming not us) but I haven’t managed it yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robin Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 A draw would have given us a bit of oxygen and confidence, but I don't think it would have transformed our form. If we had won our first two games after the restart, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluded some would say haha! Cardiff have Fulham and Derby next. Followed by a visit to relegation threatened Boro, under their former manager Colin. Tough run. Derby playing West Brom and Brentford next two. Before that game v Cardiff. Again extremely tough run. Two quick fire wins to give us hope Holden to deliver 5/5 to snatch 6th ... always believe?

One Team Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 What do we do if we win the next five and somehow sneak in the play offs? And then what would happen if we won the final?! Bring back LJ? (that was a joke BTW!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollywhyte Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 I'm actually quite confident if we somehow managed 5 wins, 70 points would be enough looking at everyone's fixtures. 8 minutes ago, One Team said: What do we do if we win the next five and somehow sneak in the play offs?

Red Skin Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 We are way off being good enough for promotion. Fulham showed you cannot buy a new team and expect to be competitive in the Prem. You need to have the bones of a good team and the spirit to match when you get promoted - like Sheffield Utd - and make a few quality additions.

LJ would be invited to the final as a guest of Lansdown; same as happened when Barnsley made the EFL final just after he left. Barnsley were also promoted via the play offs that season!

I'm little confused why would we not want 6th? Though we have certainly given the impression we didn't want it by the way we have performed.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Not a chance- it was win or bust Saturday, and sadly Tomlin provided the assist which led to bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 The three that go up will come from the top 4 so although we won’t be making the playoffs, it doesn’t matter who does in the chasing group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Wouldn't surprise me if it's just the top 3 tbh, way Brentford have been playing they won't fear anyone in the playoffs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Its the hope that kills you..... We are done. Probably win tonight, but nowhere near good enough. Even if some miracle occurs - if we played Brentford over two legs (3rd vs 6th) we would get battered. Absolutely battered.

One can dream. Indeed, its what makes football. Theres more chance of us finishing 6th than there was Leicester winning the PL. With Swansea and Preston left to play as well, if we win 4/4, looking at Cardiff and Derby's fixtures, I genuinely think we could nab it. A draw v Cradiff on the weekend could have been a really good result looking at things now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
