Final 4 games

[ronnup]

I think there's a lot of players carrying injuries. 

[tickler28]

Even if we do somehow manage to get over the line...1st, 2nd or playoffs nobody should celebrate this season....there doesn't deserve to be an open top bus parade....nobody comes out of this with any credit

Enzo wants us in the play-offs - his only ever chance of going to Wembley

[Number 6]

Weirdly think the next 2 will be better given both teams will come at us more. Win all our home games probably gets us over the line.

This, weirdly we are more likely to get space against WBA and Saints. They will both try to dominate, which weirdly might help us.

But with that, they have better calibre of defenders.

And just like that the Leeds run in doesn't look too smart. Away to 2 in form teams and at home against probably the best team in the league right now.

 

We obviously still need to something of course.

I'm thinking we will get a draw with West Brom, and then lose to Saints and Preston. If there is no chance of making the autos by the time of the Blackburn game, we'll win that one. If there is a chance, we will lose or draw at best. Even with Leeds slipping up again, I have zero confidence we have what it takes to make the top 2.

WBA will be tougher than the Birmingham game being a better side, we need a similar performance and then some, it really is a must win and the two away games this week have given me little confidence, the players are starting to show the tension, over hitting passes, snatching at shots, no composure where it counts (and too much composure elsewhere Faes). Heart says beat WBA and Blackburn, draw the other two, head says are you blind mate they're not getting a point against St Tiddlesworths Girl Guides reserves XI right now, the heads have gone . Apart from Caseidi and the injured Macateer these are the same players who earned all those wins earlier in the season, it's in there somewhere, really would get wise steady heads in, Coady, Albrighton, get Wes Morgan and Birchenal in the changing room talking to them, the way others are f***ing up too a couple of wins might be enough.

Let's be positive we can still do this especially after the Leeds result today this very much in our hands

Correct sir and Leeds highlight just how tough the championship is, as we know, I'd love us and Ipswich automatically and watch Leeds play off 

[trooky]

We win the 3 homes games and lose away to Preston.

 

Fans need to get behind the team in the stadium and really support them.

That’s all we need.

Win 3 of 4 and we're up. Really if we can beat Baggies and Soton that should be it. 

 

Shame we're dog wank

Ipswich - 2 tough away games and a final game against a relegation threatened Huddersfield. Can see them getting 94 points.

 

Leeds - That final game against Southampton could be crucial for us, they could get anything from 91 to 96 points for me.

 

Southampton - on their form with their fixtures, they should win out (including us) 96 points, which would leave Leeds on 93.

 

Somehow, I think 2 wins sees us up on GD, not that we deserve it

[coolhandfox]

Got a feeling 2 wins will be enough as long as one of them Southampton.

By the time they KO against us they will have played 5 games in 14 days. 

 

Very unlikely they win all their games.

As I see it, one of two things have got to happen in order for us to go up. 
 

1. Enzo realises himself that his philosophy at the moment isn’t working, and it’s causing us more problems than it is solving. He has got to recognise that he has to change things to benefit the team. He’s got to realise himself that things have to change….. but he won’t. 
 

2. They sack the manager after consulting with Cooper to see if he wants the job, and get him in for the rest of the season.

 

The facts are Enzo hasn’t got a clue what he is doing. I know a lot of people will be quick to jump to defend him and blame the players, but, it’s his job to set the team up, his job to inspire them, his job to make them implement his philosophy. He is clearly failing to do this. 
 

The performances, the set up it’s all indefensible, if we were at the bottom of the table he would be gone (which incidentally we are in terms of form)….. 

 

The owners will ultimately gamble on the play offs, and it will inevitably all go horrible wrong. 
 

The writing is in the wall, and those who think it’s still in our hands are just clinging onto blind hope that it will somehow turn around. Form like this doesn’t change unless something drastic happens, because it’s not poor form, it’s a complete crisis. 
 

Most of us jokingly said we would lose yesterday, by one goal…… and we did…… the pattern is mind blowing, any team with an ounce of fight about them beats us, and it’s as simple as that. We’ve now got four games against four teams all with the ability to fight. 
 

With Enzo at the helm, we are not picking up another point all season. Yet again we’ve allowed a situation to fester into something toxic and yet again we as fans will have to pay the ultimate price for it. 

 

 

 

 

The fans have created this toxic situation since the Swansea home win.

 

How about we forget about the 18 point lead we've blown, Enzo's tactics and just support the team for the next 4 games.

 

We have to get out of the championship and back into the PL, because it will take much longer to rebuild with another season in the championship under a transfer embargo and not be able to replace the out of contract players.

Had us beating West Brom, draw with Southampton, lose vs Preston, beat Blackburn. 

 

All 3 of us winning on final day. 

[Stevosevic]

We’ve got the best final day you would think….on paper…

[don_danbury]

i know it sounds mental but i think we'll do better against the better sides in west brom and southampton. the game in hand is huge 

[Ian Nacho]

I reckon 8 points may be enough, 10 should be.
