Still a long shot. Cardiff have Derby H, Boro A and Hull H, to play. They need 7 from 9 to guarantee finishing above us, but with their superior GD, probably 6 will do. That’s always assuming we win our last three games and Swansea, Preston, Millwall and Derby all drop points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need Derby to drop points necessarily (think they will looking at their games mind), just overtake them on GD. Don't need Preston to drop points for us either, just have to beat thrm ourselves! Swansea will hopefully drop points v Leeds, and we also have to play them still. Cardiff and Milwall are the toughies to catch imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 37 minutes ago, When the river runs said: Cant see Cardiff being caught as they've three winnable games unfortunately Yep......... just like home to Blackburn and away to Fulham? 6th place could go to one of 6 or so teams IMHO.

DC10 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade here but let’s just imagine the suns all align, results go our way and we win all our remaining games to finish 6th. Great but..... we then have the small issue of playing the likes of Brentford, Leeds or West Brom over two legs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardiff and Milwall are the toughies to catch imo. ? We have to achieve at least a 3 goal swing over 3 games, so the probably of doing so whilst Derby win all 3 (otherwise they haven’t dropped any points) seems highly unlikely in the extreme. All academic for me, cannot see us beating Swansea & Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTonyTony Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 It’s the hope that kills you.... Best thing for me is to play well in the final games to entice the new boss that we have potential. If we make the playoffs then let’s see - if not let’s go out with a bit of a bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll make it anyway, but if the above scenario did occur, nobody would be expecting us to win, which would be a good thing. There'd be far more pressure on any of these three teams, given the excellent season they've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that do think we’ll finish 6th but I have a sneaky feeling whoever does will beat whoever finishes third as they’ll be deflated to have just missed out on auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Good as today was, let’s not get carried away. Against Hull, a bottom 3 team, we were good in parts, but they still managed to create a few good chances. Today, a great attacking performance but Middlesbrough, another relegation candidate team, created several very good chances. There were decisive points in each match when the luck was with us. I’m not complaining about 6 points but I am realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 If City win next 3, Blackburn beat Millwall, Derby beat Cardiff and Leeds beat Derby we will finish 6th. :laugh: !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayOutWest Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Nah... Not getting carried away with anything. Even if we got close we would out Bristol City ourselves :laugh:.

The Gambler Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Play offs start here. Win or bust the next 3 games. if we do win them all and we go into the play offs on a 5 game winning run then the team that finishes 3rd will not fanny facing us.

YGBjammy Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I'd love us to get 6th as much as anyone, but it's very very unlikely. The next few weeks is about getting a manager in and prepping for next season. It's fun to daydream though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
