    Only 18 behind with 27 to play for, no trouble. ;-)

    ;-) We started the day 16 behind 6th place, we're now 14 behind with 30 to play for.

    Sorry, you're right of course.

    30 to play for, not 27!!! WE CAN DO IT

    28 really as we never beat Millwall....maybe this time?
  • Huge f*ck up from Derby, could well live to regret those 2 dropped points in 2 months time

    Derby taken 1 point from last three games, bottling it?

    Just seen Sakho's sending off for Wolves. No surprises about the Forrestieri hit the deck...but how fat was the referee??? No wonder he was nowhere wear the incident.

    TBH, the way we are playing at the moment, looking at the fixtures, i can see us winning all 10 remaining games - would give us 78 points - if thats the case, then we are going to be thereabouts - maybe not quite enough, but theres always 1 or 2 teams in the top 6 that have a wobble.
    We can all dream !

    Never thought I would say this but if only Guy Luzon was hired a few weeks earlier

    The championship is a very tough league, we could just as easily lose 2 or 3 on the spin and the doom and gloom merchants would be back on here.

    A lot of our games do look winnable and as the finish line gets nearer some sides will start to wobble (some have already). But i think we've left it too late. 10 wins from 10 games is a huge ask in any league, never mind this one.

    Last season , Wigan were 5th with 73 points and Brighton 6th with 72. !
    However , the league was a lot less tight.

    We will win another 5, draw 2 and lose 3, which will give us an extra 17 points, nowhere near enough. If anyone truly believes we will be in the playoffs they need sectioning

    Who will we lose to aside from Millwall ?

    He would have been, but the interview process took so long...

    What this does show, is that if we can keep this team together, with one or two additions we can be realistic promotion contenders next season.

    I can only see us losing to Bournemouth, and if they take care of business, what will they have to play for by that time?

    Hmm. So beating our record of 12 wins on the bounce from 99/00?
    Sorry, can't see it. A winning streak is one thing, but a freaky 13 game winning streak is something else.

    Having said that, nothing wrong with dreaming!

    Draw will be handy for us in the Norwich v Boro game.

    Probably need to get 2nd place as doubt we'd win the play-offs.
  • Still think Norwich boro and Watford
