IslandExile Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Beating Forest and/or Leeds in the playoffs would be brilliant - IF I knew the result in advance. I don't think I could take the stress otherwise. And can you imagine losing to either of them ?♂️ No thanks. I vote we finish 7th in a valiant end of season run, take whatever points deduction is coming our way. And then.... We storm automatic promotion next season. Uncatchable by this time next year.

Much rather bed in our youngsters and go up automatically, 10 points clear next season Sheffield United. It can be done. Sensibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I don't think we can complete the regular season with coronavirus but if we do it's unlikely we'll also have playoffs. Probably promote whoever finishes third. It would be just our luck to sneak in. Unprecedented times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the EFL rulebook, in the case of a virus/war/lack of interest preventing the play offs occuring, they'd award the final promotion spot to the team that has the highest average household income electoral ward within its teams boundary's.

Also taking into account the number of times a team has been in the playoffs in the past decade. Tell you what.... how about the team with the most points between mid Feb and season's end?

Woodley Ram Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Yes we can make the playoffs but are we in danger of being undercooked if we were promoted, I would rather we have a stronger base before we go up! I think we will will climb the table but think that the playoffs are a little too far for us given our remaining games and who they are against.

Mckram Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Found this website which uses probabilities based on past results and it thinks our chances of promotion are less than 1% (which I guess matches the bookies). Interestingly it thinks Millwall will make the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about 9 games, that would be a good time to review it. As it happens, he is wrong to say we don't stand a chance. And if after 5-6 games, or 9, we haven't made it, he will still be wrong - because at that point it will still be true that we DID have a chance.

Bubbles Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 We can all sit here, and laugh at the whole idea of reaching the playoffs, or, we can take a leaf out of B4’s book, and learn to be optimistic. I tell you now, if we had 27000 fans at Pride Park with the optimism that B4 has; it would be 100000x better atmosphere. We can only dream, whatever happens happens. If we make it, then bloody fantastic (although I don’t think we’re ready for the Premier League!) If we don’t make it, then oh well, next season we will definitely be up there. We are currently playing some beautiful football, some of the best since Mac 1. I can only see things going up from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Let's clean up our rose coloured glasses. After all..... You can't be optimistic with a misty optic!? Oh all right, Suit yourselves, Wasted on some folk...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those teams only a few points off those positions with the amount of games remaining? No. Derby still have every (and i think a good chance) of getting into the play offs. Not winning them, but getting there. Football is a funny old game. We've got a lot of tough games ahead but if we start getting a few wins and draws and other teams above slip up to late goals for a draw or loss, there's every chance for us. 5 points off the play offs with 27 points to play for is a damn good position to be in to have an exciting end to the season.
