Would 75 points be enough to hit play offs? If so do you think we can get that? From our last 15 I think we have taken 28 points(correct if I am wrong)so if we continue the way we are that will be enough. Keep the faith and get behind the lads. Let’s make this a season to remember

I was just looking at the league table and it is almost turning into a league within a league....
If you assume that 3rd and 4th place are beyond us then that leaves about 5 teams fighting for the remaining two places :
Fulham
Bristol
Preston
Sheff Utd
Middlesbro
I know that we have got some tough games looming, but it is not beyond us to be one of the best two teams out of that group !!!

The 2 I'm worried about are Fulham and Boro. Bristol are in free fall since the EFL cup, and having Sunderland come back from 3-0 down at Ashton Gate will only make it worse. I'd be surprised if they're still in the top 8 come April/May.
Blades are in a similar situation. They had a prolonged flash in the pan but the lack of quality is starting to reveal itself. I reckon they'll still be in the mix though, especially if their captain returns from injury soon.

Bristol city are looking a busted flush to me. I reckon out of the chasing pack Sheff Utd have already been beaten 12 times so they don't fill me with confidence but Fulham look the danger team as they win games and score plenty. North End are drawing too many which I think will prove costly. I reckon we will give it a good go but just fall short, though I hope I am wrong of course.
I think you are correct Harry..... i think we will just come up short ( Finishing 7th )
Mind you, if someone had said to us back in May 2015 when we got promoted back to the championship that we would be sniffing around the play offs, then i think we would have been happy with that !!
If we repeat the same results over the next 15 as we got in the reverse fixtures, it would give us 23 more points, leading to 72 points, sometimes that's enough but we're probably 7th/8th like we are now
OP
Absolutely true a couple bad results for any of the teams could put them out of the running. How’s costly could that last minute goal we conceded against Fulham be come may?
OP
Just checked and it’s 28 point from 15 games, 7 wins, 7 draws, 1 loss. Them extra 5 points could swing it.
Wolves (H) - 1
Aston Villa (A) - 0
Ipswich (H) - 3
Bolton (A) - 3
Bristol City (H) - 3
Fulham (H) - 3
Sunderland (A) - 1
Sheffield Wed (A) - 1
Derby (H) - 3
Reading (A) - 0
Leeds (H) - 1
QPR (A) - 3
Norwich (H) - 3
Sheffield Utd (A) - 0
Burton (H) - 3
I am Predicting 72-78, Feeling 3rd and 4th will have a slip, Specially Cardiff.

Fulham's next 6 games are a nightmare for them. They play all the teams in the top 7, it is going to be very hard for them and after those games they could either be very demoralised or ecstatic, I think the former although I hope they either beat or draw against Bristol

Similar games for boro over the next 10 and a couple of derby games too. Could be tough, but Pulis is a very good manager, though I don’t think he has ever been promoted from this league has he?
Was he manager of Stoke already or only when they were already in the premier?

He did take them to the Premiership in 2008 - it was in his 2nd spell as manager - we beat them at home under Irvine

Ah ok, that’s why I’ll be getting confused then.
We did ( 2-0 ) and Pulis bitched and moaned about how lucky we were ....... he is a knob !!
My main concern is how well Fulham play against the top teams. They are a good footballing side. Pullis will get the best out of Boro and I think we're not strong enough to overhaul Villa or Derby. If any team has over achieved this season although it pains me to say it, it's Cardiff. CW has done very well and despite a recent dip in form, they're still up there. I do think we will rue not getting another midfielder in the window and that will be our Achilles heel between now and the end of the season.
I think you are over egging Fulham here, poor draw at Bolton, Forest should have bagged 2 to 3 goals before Fulham even scored and at Boro they proper got out of jail and Boro should have beaten them. I think their defence is the weakest of the top 6 excluding Brizzles and now they are playing all of them in the coming weeks including us. I think they will drop out of the top six along with Brizzles and be replaced by us and Boro or possibly Norwich who have recently had a couple of good results at Brentford and their draw at Derby. This season is so ridiculously open anybody can beat anybody and I think it won’t take a massive total to make the play-offs.
WE HAVE EVERY CHANCE HERE !!! 🙂

I thought positivity wasn’t allowed on here. Youl Mawene told me yesterday that if we get to Wembley he’ll definitely go.
There you go Mawene is semi pumped himself 🙂
This season is going right to the wire and I think we will be in the mix.
