ollywhyte Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Just seen all of the current top 10, play each other this weekend Fulham v Cardiff (Currently 2-0) Derby v Brentford Blackburn v West Brom Preston v Forest Swansea v Leeds Fulham, Brentford, Brom, Forest and Leeds wins, combined with a City win would see us just 3 points off the play offs with 3 games to play. Albeit with an inferior GD, however getting to within 2 points going into the final day would at least make it more enjoyable! Is there anyone still as optimistic as me out there?! Don't know why I do it to myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seasons done. mind you, imagine if we win all our games , sneak in the play offs then go up . Imagine LJ’s face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robintherobin Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 If we had just beaten Cardiff we'd have a chance. But they only need to beat Middlesbrough & Hull to finish above us, even if they lose today and their next game to Derby. Plus of course we need 4 wins out of 4!

A point may have ended up as a decent one now! Wouldn't bet against Warnock taking something from his former side. Hull may need points on the final day as well. I'm a dreamer mind !

No disrespect to Brentford but resource, backing, fan base etc we should be streets ahead, but we're not. SL - Please don't **** up the new manager appointment.

Alex_BCFC Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Three of Leeds, WBA, Brentford and Fulham will go up. I can’t see us making 6th but it’s clearly not impossible. Unfortunately I think Boro will beat us tomorrow regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 It looks like 70 points will be enough for 6th. Its extra disappointing that we didnt even need to be any better than last season to make the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 The midweek games next week are interesting as well: West Brom v Fulham Cardiff v Derby Millwall v Blackburn Brentford v Preston Forest v Swansea While it's pretty unlikely we're definitely still in the mix, given we have 2 of the weakest teams in the league up next as well. With our final games being against Swansea and Preston there's every chance this goes right down to the final game again. The most frustrating thing is just one more win recently would've helped massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin101 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 If we beat Boro tomorrow and Swansea lose to Leeds we’re back in it. Stranger things have happened. Mind you, I do think we forget sometimes that 6th isn’t promotion. It’s probably just extending our season for another 30 mins until we’re 2-0 down to Brentford.
