At least at times we got to watch flowing football, whereas you will poohouse your way to finish above us and get humped in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if we beat Brentford on Saturday, we go level with Cardiff with them still to play! That’s a bit of a contradiction isn’t it? It all over now but it could be all still to play for.? I can’t see us getting much out of the Brentford game but, stranger things have happened. I said no before tonight so, obviously, my view hasn’t changed.

Rammy03 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 It's not quite over. If Cardiff lose to Fulham the we will be no more than 3 points behind them going into the game against them next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellafella Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 For me it’s not about can we make it any longer; it’s the last 2 performances. Especially tonight, we had no stomach for the fight, no grit but patience in abundance. No courage and a strange belief that if we keep making endless sideways passes somehow we’ll break a team down. WBA could’ve had a bag of sand in goals tonight, such was our complete lack of threat. Sure we had 8 youngsters on the pitch by the 70th minute but nothing changed. So not disappointed by the result but the powder-puff, sterile and tepid spirit shown. And the official was a stinker. I’ve seen better refs officiating on a Sunday morning. ps. And somebody dented my car tonight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Might be just as well not to be in them. We will not win the playoffs, plus the extra rest between seasons could be beneficial for once, since it will probably be a fast turn around time.

europia Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 No, we will not make the play offs unfortunately. Not really quite good enough to take on the stronger teams for the run in. The idiotic red cards in the last few games haven't helped. Not sure what that's all about. Lack of discipline ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict Preston will fall out the race for 6th spot by losing both or only getting a point fom both matches. Its possible for Cardiff to lose away to Fulham, Swansea would have to beat Leeds at home and get a result at Forest. We simply need to get 6 points to have a chance. We would want Leeds to win their next 3 matches (Stoke home, Swansea away and Barnsley home), with Westbrom losing their next 2 (Blackburn away and Fulham home). That would have them coming to Derby as champions, with no desire to play at full pelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 We would be making up the numbers to be honest, the last two games have shown that. We should focus on next season, this season has still been a good one. Roll on next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibley also knew what he was doing flicking his boot upwards. Just thought the ref might be more sensible and realise both were being petulant. I was sent off for much the same thing when someone grabbed my leg and wouldn't let go. It's bloody frustrating and I understand Sibley's annoyance.

We would have a chance of scraping through via the play offs but, as you say, the turnaround could be very short so it will be tough for the team that goes up as well as those that fail.

And somebody dented my car tonight ? Don't agree at all about the spirit. I can see what we are trying to achieve. Our start in the game and generally for the first half we played some lovely football. Even the Sky Commentators were purring over it. Going into the game we had very limited potential for goals in the team. If all fit and available I would have expected Marriott, Waghorn & Lawrence all to play. With more quality up front (movement as well as goal threat) it could have could easily have been us that grabbed the first goal not them and then we potentially see a different outcome.

twinthe_12 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 For sure we won't. Our last 3 performers sums it all up. After Lawrence's red carde we haven't showed willingness and heart to win games. It's only backpassing and playing back to the defense or keeper. No one to take initiative. We need that leader in the team to go forward and to keep the spirit to go for shoals and win and to risk something. We're nor going to get to playoff like that' and I don't know why our manager can't get that message out to the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he's being hampered by the coaching element of his appointment and doesn't have the comfort factor to make changes on the field during play because of this I don't know. I think ultimately, if you have enough players not comfortable in there position or young with a few games they won't be confident to fulfill anything but there exact role for fear of error - we have a lot of that at the moment.

Bwash_Ram Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Before the Forest game i looked at the fixture list and reckoned we'd get 4-5 points out of the last 6 games and im still of that opinion. This would give us 64-65 points which i dont think has ever been enough to get into the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
