A win on Monday is a must just to get the confidence back with it being a early kick it put the pressure on the chasing pack looking at us sitting in 5th maybe who knows some of the teams around us may just faulter .Whatever happens its going deep into the season to sort the play offs out.
 
It's going to be tight. I fancy whoever finishes 5th or 6th to win promotion. Villa and Fulham are all but confirmed, and will take the foot off the pedal towards the end of the season. We'll go into the semi-finals at full throttle. It worked for Huddersfield, it'll work for us.
 
Monday is arguably the most important game of the season to date, win it and we've got more points than we did do the previous two seasons at this level and we're in with a real shout of not only making the play-offs. Some bookies still offering odds of us at 20/1 to win promotion so they think we're a long-shot, compared to Derby who are still 6/1 despite their run of form.

Thing is though, if we lose on Monday this board will be lively with the Football Experts claiming that we're going to end the season with our usual winless run.
 
We have 7 games left 4 of which are home games and let’s be honest here all very winnable.
Derby - as we all know bottling it badly at the moment and we can take full advantage of that tomorrow.
Leeds - 1 step forward and 2 steps back, not having a very good 2018
Norwich - already just drifting to the end of the season with nothing to play for and poor home and away at the moment
Burton - I suspect when we play them they will be down
Yes I think we have every chance and unlike some clubs the last couple of losses we have still played well and always followed it up with 3pts which is the sign of a squad and manager that believe.

On Monday let’s all us Nobbers get behind the manager and team and BELIEVE. We have a fantastic chance here and amongst all the contenders chasing 5th and 6th there is only Millwall showing any sort of form and they are about to embark on a very very difficult 4 match spell which will test them.
 
I am confident enough to have started looking at hotels around wembly!

It's been a very enjoyable season start to finish and the run in is just making it better and better.

We have a chance without question simply because we can match the teams around us for points between now and the final whistle. Millwal are the thorn in the side and have been sneeking up on everyone for months. We need to see two spots in the top six available and as if by magic Derby and Middlesborough have obliged nicely.

My goodness it's close! I think we have the best chance with our run in but is likely to go down to the wire. Any player who needs motivating in this position they should not be playing.... We willgo 5th for a few hours when we win and not all those above us will get three points!

I'm confused😕
On another thread you said we're not good enough for the Play Offs and people should stop kidding themselves.
I think you're a bit of a wind up merchant Ando but make out butter wouldn't melt.🙂

Can you not feel the sarcasm dripping out of that post? 😉
 
Just been looking at the next few fixtures and there's some key games with everyone playing each other. There's going to be plenty of points dropped somewhere. Far from over yet.

Was thinking this myself before. Millwall pretty much play they entire playoff pack and hopefuls, fair to say they may have the single biggest say on who finishes 5th and 6th. Really hoping we can win these 'winnable' on paper fixtures whilst the others battle with each other.

Probably just out of reach this season,but isn’t it great to be out of danger of relegation and in with a shout of making the playoffs.

Not the phrase I'd have picked. It's DEFINITELY in reach. But will we reach it?

Feels like do or die tomorrow. Although a draw would not leave us completely dead in the water.
 
This Derby game is the most important game of the season so far. It is a must win for both sides and a great chance for us to be in the top 6 and before you say it I know it might only be for a couple of hours but the 4 other teams chasing don’t have given games so we actually might end up staying in the top 6. What a fabulous wild Championship this is turning out to be. I have a feeling I am going to be hoarse tomorrow afternoon but we’ll up for this one.

Good luck all you Nobbers and I have said this before but let’s get Deepdale rocking tomorrow and give our players the goosebumps.
 
Simply a huge game which we HAVE to win. We know how good we can be when we’re on top form, so let’s get behind them and do everything we can to help them on.
