Their both bogey teams for us so either one drops out the autos its promotion chance over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull used to be a bogey team - so did the Wendies. All runs come to an end - after all, we had beaten the dirties 9 times on the trot until a couple of seasons ago.

Mr. P Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Yes forget about automatics they were gone ages ago! I'm more concerned about maintaining the gap between us & 7th! It would be nice to get 3rd or 4th though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boro.mfc Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Nervous isnt the word tbh. Boro played awful today. My money was on a 1-1 scoreline before the match so just happy we managed to claim 3 points in a match were 1 point was the fairer reflection of the game.

Preston are a tough team to play against and are one of the best defensively. I'm hoping you lot got autos so we don't have to face you in the Play-Offs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not turn into florist blaming everything on injuries. The players have to take a large proportion of the blame as does all the stupid stuff happening in the background but all will be forgotten and forgiven with a play off final win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Just to put 2nd in context, even if we win our remaining games that would still only be 85 points. On current track Burnley are on course for 90, Middlesbrough 91 and Brighton 86. Any of them being 85 points or less would require them dropping: Burnley: 10 from 15 points Boro: 12 from 18 points Brighton: 8 from 18 points Winning our remaining games could well see us take 3rd, but 2nd really is a pipedream unless something special happens.

robglosta Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 As Albert neatly put, not remotely likely. If we sneak into 4th (feasible with Hull's form), then that sets us up well for the return leg at home in the play-offs. That should be the target.

No ur maybe right there , but he's the player who makes the team tick and makes players around him better players , if you don't see that don't bother replying as ur obviously dafter than I think you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posh Ram Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Incredibly unlikely, as has been said many times on this thread, it would require two of Boro/Brighton/Burnley to close out the season in poor form. Burnley and Boro in particular are both good teams at grinding out results as well. Win all of our remaining games and third is a distinct possibility though. Right now the goal has to be secure play-offs by beating Charlton and Bristol because we have tough fixtures after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course second place is out of our grasp You're right, we've got as much chance as Leicester had of winning the premier at the start of the season or us finishing 8th when topping the league in March.
