Ipswich will get top 2. Got a sense of inevitability about them and just feels like one of those stories.
 

Pretty sure we went 18 clear of them for a day at least when they wobbled over Christmas. 

It's much more recent that we were 18 clear of them - it was after we beat Sheff Wed at home ie 13 Feb, though they had 2 games in hand at that point. They've since won 8 out of 9, whilst we've fallen off a cliff. Losing at home to a massively weakened Boro side and a crap QPR team who barely got out of their own half could well cost us auto promotion, I fear.

Couple of injuries to key players can soon put a dent in that, look at how much we've missed Ricardo alone.

Not so sure. They don't seem as a reliant on their starting XI as we are. Their options in attacking midfield are much deeper than ours; their subs have very often changed games for them.

Hats off to Ipswich!  What a season they're having. Bet their entire starting 11 aren't earning as much as we're paying Vardy!

What romantic nonsense.

 

With Mark Ashton there as CEO that is most unlikely.

 

Loves splashing the big contracts around does our Mark.

The run in is as much mentality and physicality (as Claude would say 😊) now as possession, passing stats and control. Have we got enough of these characteristics to match IPS, Leeds and Southampton? 

I would say not except possibly Southampton. If we end up third then I’m not confident that Enzo and our players could pick themselves up for a playoff battle having been in control for 70% of the season.

Or what? I don't think you're going down, and the play offs are a bit of a way off....

We need a win or two two to make sure we are safe .

Telling football fans not to overreact is just hilarious

Oh I could’ve sworn it was closer to Christmas!

Ips are relentless, always looking to go forward and not sitting back on 1-0 leads, firing over the cross bar and passing backwards when we get forward.

People complain how 'lucky' they are scoring scruffy, scrappy, deflected goals.

 

That's because they shoot, with conviction!

 

Meanwhile we're constantly trying to score the perfect goal.

Who would you prefer in the playoffs? I’d want to avoid Coventry, West Brom but would be less concerned if it were Hull, Saints or Norwich?

They sat back on a 1-0 lead a week ago and lost!

To be fair I can see why people are getting twitchy, I’m the same but I still back us to win the league. I think we’ll go unbeaten now

Coventry and Ipswich win. Forest 1-0 up in their relegation six pointer. What a day of football.

No one, because if we end up finishing in the play offs we would have totally ****ed it, and likely be on our arses and just get served up by anyone who plays us.

i can too but no point jumping to conclusions as theres alot of football to be played; Ipswich and Leeds have some very tricky fixtures; likes of Hull, Coventry Southampton

 

and we know how good they can be on their day, Coventry showed that today;

 

also look at Millwall the other week, no one thought theyd get a win at Southampton but they did, thats the championship for you
