Max points 96. Three wins gets us to 97

We’re not getting 3 wins from 4. 
 

I’d be happy with 2.

If Ipswich lose today, that puts Saints right back in it and keeps them on it til the final game again. 

 

Unless they lose today of course.

Just wondering if Daniel Fark is a rubbish manager too?

If he doesn’t get Leeds up with that squad yes, just the same as our stubborn git.

Table only runs from the end of August until the end of March so jokes on you

We need to beat West Brom really just to keep Southampton at a proper distance . Maybe we can ask West Brom to rest their first team so they are ready for the play offs don’t want them get any injuries 😂

[LinekersLugs]

We are throwing the league away 

 

but so are Leeds 😂😂😂

Of course Leeds lost, because it would make our most recent results even more painful. 

Are we really sure Leeds want to go up? I posted yesterday about this. We don't know what's going behind the scenes with the points deductions. Going up and starting at -10 or -12 will be disastrous for any team. I don't trust any ownership in modern football. Some results are very strange and Enzo's responses to the media are bizarre. It seems Farke suddenly gives the same answers as Enzo to journalists.

[David Hankey]

Good old Blackburn.

[Aus Fox]

It’s now been 540 minutes since one of the top 3 scored a goal!!

All this talk at one point of 4 teams getting over 100 points, the way it’s going no one will even get 90!

[marcymarc666]

Basically, we're all crap !

[Nobbyburton]

It’s utterly depressing that we’re now thinking about Southampton again. 
 

Shambles from us, this should be over.

To be honest, every team is struggling with this low block counter attack business. It's frustrating but I feel we will look better against a team thst try to have a go at us, WBA and saints will.  I wish managers would be less stubborn to a cause, its seems to be the modern way, Farke, Enzo, Martin will all be unstuck by their stubborn persistence. Sometimes you got to adapt.

It's not the same and you know it. You're comparing bananas to apples. 

All I'm saying is that a sudden strange pattern of results is happening which in general isn't the reflection of 85% of the season. On top of that we have some rather weird behaviour of certain managers who suddenly field the same XI every 3 days. Yes, I'm a conspiracy theorist.

totally agree, there is alot of talent in the lower league, and we need to tap into that pool again imo

We may actually have to return our old model of recruitment whether we like it or not if we get promoted due to financial constraints, and that's no bad thing. No more exorbitant fees on players from big French, German and Italian clubs. It could be a good thing.

But we didn't and we should celebrate this as another lifeline grabbed rather than moan about what's gone on. 

 

We needed 5 wins to guarantee promotion before Millwall and now we need 3 wins.

It's a "what if" situation. Going back to change results in your favour, biased I know but can't be too hard to grasp why it's frustrating

personally i like that model, least we get hungry players wanting to prove something, not these big time charlies thinking they can come here for a pay checl

[purpleronnie]

Not sure if I'm happy that Leeds messed up or frustrated that a half decent last 10 and we'd be already up.

 

6 defeats in 10 for us.  If we had 3 more wins in that 10 it would've put us on 97 points and we'd be promoted.

but that’s the thing. IF . Yet people have already decided Maresca is rubbish yet someone else’s managers gets an ‘IF’.

Absolutely. Our greatest ever team was built on players from Fleetwood Town, Le Havre and captained by a player Forest had to sell to balance the books.
