    I see no reason why we cannot go on a winning streak!

    Now we are beginning to get back our better players and have brought in a few upgrades I think we could quite possibly win our next six games and that would well and truly establish us in the playoff positions.

    We all know that 7% would be 100% if we hadn’t lost Samir.

    I can also see no reason why you won’t get 6 numbers on the lottery tonight.

    Sure, we've only had instances of winning consecutive games twice across the entire season, one two-in-a-row and one three-in-a-row, but absolutely, there's no reason at all to imagine we won't now go and win the next six on the spin; beginning with a match against the other team running away with the division who are 14 points ahead of us having played two games fewer :)

    Even if we do, I don't think 6 wins on the trot would do much to secure us in the top 6. We're already under par thanks to the games in hand everyone around us has.

    I don't know 65 points at that point would mean we would need many more points from the rest of our games to finish top six

    Luton away to Preston tonight .

    Unfortunately probably win that one as PNE are useless at home .

    Playoffs. The team is near enough to it's best squad availability now for Bilic.

    They have to get a winning mentality and string results together to build momentum for those playoffs. No more mental midgetry. At least that looks to be dispensed with at centreback and the return of Louza and Pedro adds real skill and creativity. It's others who have to make sure they are up to scratch and take personal responsibility. That includes the fullbacks (all of whom aside from Ferreira will need replacing in the summer) particularly Kamara whose brain seems to have gone AWOL. And upfront Sarr needs a massive kick in the pants.

    If he applies himself he can win games on his own but if he continues to pretend to be a footballer bench him. Rather have a player who shows utter commitment which is a must in this division but with less skill than someone who simply looks like they cannot be bothered to do even the basics. Fingers crossed Kone and Martins continue to settle and Araujo also finds his feet. Either play him off a big striker or let him loose as a substitute and bleed him in. All three have great potential. Lets hope we don't ruin them like we normally do.

    Apparently Watford target Ben Whiteman sent off on 50 mins. Cheers mate.

    Aaaand we inevitably drop out of the playoffs.

    There is always a team that makes a charge into the playoffs on form. We are just positioning ourselves for the late run.

    We're in a false position anyway.

    Absolutely. Everyone seems to dismiss the idea that we’re playing this bad deliberately.

    Yes, glad to be wrong. What a ***** result for the Scum.

    Wasn't he injured at the start of the season or Villa didn't let him go out on loan?

    Boro didn't start him till the game v us either but not sure they had him for long.
     
  28. Jumbolina

    Jumbolina First Team

    Villa weren’t sure about letting him go. But in any case he’d have been an expensive loan and at the time we were busy spending the entire summer budget furnishing both Bayat brothers on the Bayo deal where I am told we “only slightly overpaid”.

    Got to get our priorities right.

    I predicted Boro would win tonight. They have a great chance of sneaking into 2nd spot. Would prefer to play Sheffield Utd than Boro if we do manage to get into the playoffs.

    Boro pretty much wiped the floor with us (admittedly with a pretty patched up team), but I suppose we'll be testing your theory very soon!

    And back in them. I'll take it.

    So tight that WBA drop from 6th to 10th with that equaliser.

    And still just about in the playoffs! Granted pretty much everyone has at least one game in hand on us, but God this division is ****

    2 extra points last night would have been really valuable given how other results have played out.

    All to get hammered by whoever come 3rd (if we come 6th) like in 2008 or probably come 5th and play Luton...
