First post back from the weekend after licking my Albion inflicted wounds. But looking at the table, we're far from done - just three points behind 6th with a game in hand. It's looking like Forest, Albion, Reading and possibly Ipswich vying for the last play-off place, although Wigan remain catchable if their wheels fall off.

As for Sheffield Wednesday, they lost at Doncaster but are otherwise in decent form.

I'd definitely take a point. As far as I'm concerned, it's all about staying within one "result" of a play-off place. With our inferior GD, a defeat essentially means we'd be two games back from Reading which is going to be a tall order with only nine to play after Tuesday. I'd definitely take a draw right now if offered it.

Please add a " We will beat them because although they are on a run of form,so were Bolton and look what happened there" option. It's what we do. Optimism and all that.Go on, please. I'll tick that choice then look forward to ridicule on Wednesday morning if I'm the only one. Thanks.

Must win for me

Reading next 3 are Barnsley (H) Hudds (H) Charlton (A) and I can see them getting 9 points

Our next 4, so using our game in hand, is Wednesday, Boro (H), Blackburn (A) and Leicester (A) I can see 3 points from Boro (gulp) but nothing from the last 2 ... so even a win at Wednesday might have us a further 3 back. Of course we could turn it around at both Blackburn and Leicester but I can't see how 1 point tomorrow is going to advance our cause

To be honest I'd take it. Every point is vital at this stage of the season. Not an easy game tomorrow night, but a good test of our resolve to see if we can bounce back.

Point would be a good result; despite their league position, I think that this is one of our hardest remaining games.

We're not good enough for the top six. I have never demanded we finish in the play-offs and at no point have I been confident we would. Every time it starts to look like we're moving into a good position or have an opportunity, we mess it up with a terrible performance and a bad result. We've been doing it all season, it's far too often to be coincidence now, and these constant reminders of our weaknesses are why we don't deserve to make it. There are far too many flaws in our squad/team/set-up to be corrected at such a late stage to make us contenders. I just hope we keep the season going as long as possible because dead rubbers really are terrible to watch, and finish in a respectable top 8 position.

So onto Sheffield Wednesday, yes I would take a point because they're in good form and it'll be extremely tough to win. Hopefully we'll get a draw there and beat Middlesbrough on Saturday just to keep things interesting. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if we lose tomorrow and draw on Saturday.

Can we ban this man please? He's talking way too much sense!

No way would I take a point when three are on offer - it's like these NFL coaches who opt to kick on 4th down when there's 2 minutes left in a game and they're 9 points behind.

Absolutely spot on. I would be interested to know just how many weeks we have spent in a playoff position this season. I didn't expect us to make them at the start of the season and I still don't now. I don't think anyone's to blame specifically, just lack in certain areas (specifically goalscoring) and some bad injuries at key times of season. A top 10 finish is respectable. Give Oscar the summer and make a real push next season.

Our play off chances will end tomorrow night as Wednesday will win. Not really keen on this rotation policy either as you never get a settled side.

He also mentioned Hoskins isn't playing with the DS tonight as he has a tight hamstring. Is that why he wasn't on the bench Saturday? Does it mean he won't be tomorrow?
