With Wigan not playing this weekend due to the FA cup and then games against (after our two against Charlton on sat & Huddersfield on Good Friday), Burnley & Reading, we could be 5th even before Wigan kick another league football. No pressure lads but the 2 most important games of the season by far! 6 points minimum!

Reading play Leicester & Wigan next so I cant see them getting 6 points so a max from us will overtake them.

Reading are slipping and sliding just like us. I'm actually quite concerned about bournemouth's late surge! We should over take Reading going by our run ins, but who's to say someone else won't leapfrog the both of us!

I'm having us winning all our games, it's the only way we will get a play off berth. Trust me if we play 90% like Against Leicester we will, then it dosen't matter about Bournemouth

Ipswich v Bournemouth still to be played. We may need a draw in that one.

Us duffing Leicester up, on their own turf should have a helpful ripple effect.
There's no way they will capitulate in their next game, Reading.

It doesn't matter what Ipswich and Bournemouth do, they are beneath us and have to play each other.
Bournemouth have Forest as well.

It's suddenly become all very simple:-

Win the next 4 games, we are in the playoffs.

Simple?

When did we last win FIVE in a row in the championship?

Was it October?

We have Charlton, Hudderfield, Blackpool and Yeovil.
if the team want playoff football, there's no excuse.

Charlton will want a draw.
Hudderfield.
Blackpool will be relegated and playing like it.
Yeovil will already be down.

Like I said, no excuses.

I agree. Yes, Charlton, Yeovil and Blackpool are all fighting hard against relegation, but that's because they're shit. But we are also still fighting hard, and the table suggests we are not shit.

So win those four and a draw will probably be enough at Forest. But Huddersfield are the big wild card which worries me - a real Jekyll and Hyde team, capable of beating good teams or getting absolutely spanked.

I wonder how much the Albion could get, if we were able to auction & swap our remaining fixtures, to one of the other teams from 5 to 10 in the league.

Not as much as B'muff, but more than the others.

If we picked ours out of a lucky dip and had the option of 1 more go I wouldn't take it
