PBW Ram Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 If we get to play off final I will ride there with my bike. Where are you traveeling from Cisse? I'll make sure to stop by the route with a scarf and a ratlle in black and white for your journey :-) I'm driving over hopefully at a rapid speed once across the border onto decent roads. Listening to Horace wimp loudly on the autobahn. Trying to come up with a clever play off semi song that fits the tune. Just so I can sing it myself on the way back when we've just drawn away to west ham 1-1 in the first leg. Tell me mam ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I would be riding from Finland so might get sweaty before the match. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Birmingham City win at Doncaster Rovers, so 7 points behind 6th now, 8 points in reality with goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshaw_Ram Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 If we don't get all three points tomorrow then, realistically, it's all over. Not that it isn't 98% over already, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Will 4 wins from the last 4 matches and 72 points get us into the playoffs? Probably. A watford equaliser would be good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Sounds obvious, but I think we just play too average in too many games. Should've done the deal at Bristol when 1-0 up, and no one looked up for it against Ipswich who we could have easily beaten. That's an extra five points there that can make a big difference.

ariotofmyown Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 If we get 72 points, then 2 of the following need to make the number of points below to make it to 72 and beat us on goal diff (ignoring our 'wins' vs Cardif and Boro) Blackpool: 5 points from Forest A, Leeds H, Burnley H, Millwall A Cardiff: 7 points from Barnsley A, Leeds H, Palace A Brighton: 9 points from Reading H, West Ham A, Watford H, Brum H, Barnsley A Boro: 9 from Doncaster H, Southampton H, Watford A Leicester: 10 points from Millwall A, Burnley H, West Ham H, Leeds A Hull: 11 points from Watford A, Barnsley H, Forest H, West Ham A So Blackpool look like they will get enough, but don't think the others will make it.

Too right. Life is full of ifs and buts, but those two rather small ifs would be making a huge difference now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think those two games should have been wins for us. We seem to lack the ambition to go for it. Realistiaclly we aint going to get into play offs but 60 points was my end of season prediction so we look like beating that at least. I spose if we beat Cardiff we may have a chance.

Bris Vegas Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 We're still well out of it unfortunately... No way are we going to reach 70 points (10 points from the last 4) and 6th place would only need 2 more wins.. We can however practically end Middlesbroughs challenge if we beat them next week.. I mentioned before it was a fight between 4 teams (Boro, Brighton, Brum and Blackpool) for 3 places I maintain that only if Boro beat us next week.. Cardiff are in the playoffs currently but are majorly out of form, they've only won 3 in 14 or something like that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateDerby Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thing is if we play Middlesbrough and Cardiff without the play off mentality then the pressure is on them and that's when teams slip up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Cloughie "Wish we had three or four games left at the end of the season" No ambition? Well i wish we had Maguire (a genuine goal threat) instead of Tyson and maybe a decent midfielder on loan instead of Carroll. Then I think we would have the extra three games at the end of the season that Cloughie is wishing for. Looking at the table Leicester are coming good and may be the one (there usually is one) who make the late surge from mid table to claim the last place. Not us unfortunately but to be fair we have considerably less resources than Fester have had this season so well done clough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Cloughie "Wish we had three or four games left at the end of the season" No ambition? Or some ambition. He wants promotion, but is thinking realistically that it might be a bit too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
