We need to close the "Path to the playoffs" and the "Relegation watch". We are going to finish the season in about 14th to 16th and will have been classed as a mid-table team. Shame about our bad start under Cocu, could have finished between 6th and 12th.

Would say we are still very much on relegation watch although think we will stay up.

Definitely are I’m afraid. Keeps it interesting for the wrong reasons ?

Has the season ended and there was no relegation?  Much of the thread is about the problems of teams other than Derby.

NO playoffs are happening.

Erm, clever. I can see what you did there with your poor use of grammar. As ambiguous as the Oracle of Delphi. 
 

Have you missed a comma and meant to say “No, playoffs are happening”

Or was your sentence badly worded and you meant “The playoffs aren’t happening”.

Let the Path to mid table obscurity be opened with a very minor fanfare.

I've done some analysis and think the playoff charge is still on...

14 points behind 6th place Bournemouth: we've taken 4 points off them and they look poor. Lost 3 on the row now and could be within sight if both our form and theirs continues for a couple of games.

12 points behind 7th place Boro with game in hand: 4 points from last 5 games, beat them and win game in hand then we need to make up 6 points over 18 games. Easy.

11 points behind 8th place Blackburn: probably hardest to catch as on good form. Will need them to start dropping points soon to put the pressure on.

11 points behind 9th place Bristol City: did you see them today? They are rubbish.

10 points behind 10th place Stoke with a game in hand: just 3 draws from last 5 games. Looked poor against us. Very catchable.

8 points behind 11th place Preston down to 2 points behind 17th place Coventry. 3 teams we have games in hand over and all the teams in this group of average.  Good chance we'll finish above all of these.

Summary: We'll need Bournemouth's poor form to continue but only them and Blackburn look tricky to catch.

We're 5th in the form table over 10 games and 1st-6th contains us, plus the top 5 in the league. We just need to find a way to beat the weaker teams now.

 

 

Just wanted this back up there
