Guest shearfox Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 It's on and today proofed that the teams above us aren't going to win every game. I stick with 75 points being enough to secure a playoff place.
Matt Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 Hmmm, Don't want to get to carried away, although think this thread is more tounge in cheek to people like me. Could go either way now, deep down I still think it's too much to ask but today certainly keeps us in with a chance. Let's move on and focus on the next game, no time for getting over excited, keep your eyes on the prize.
The Doctor Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 i'm going to be the voice of reason - calm down, so we won one today - we are still 5 points off and our goal difference is so poor it in reality makes the deficit 6 points. Couple that with reading and watford being able to overtake us if they win their game in hand and the play-offs are still just about a mere dream.
Alpha Gifts & Awards Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 Crunch games: - Saturday, 9 April 2011 Leicester v Burnley, 15:00 Saturday, 16 April 2011 Reading v Leicester, 15:00 Friday, 22 April 2011 Nott'm Forest v Leicester, 17:15 Win all these then we defo have a great chance, assuming the results continue like today and prior to Cardiff. Taking 3 points off our nearest rivals has been our obvious downfall recently, but big praise is due considering the awful start we had. Things take time, if not then boy we're gonna be a great bet next season.

Just wanted to air my WW "Game on!!!!".
ozleicester Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 To be fair.. its clearly posted in humour.. but nevertheless is accurate, we are still in the running for playoffs... so GAME ON!
Trav Le Bleu Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 No need to be a voice of reason, it was a joke. Just wanted to air my WW "Game on!!!!". Sod play offs, automatic promotion!
Guest BlueBrett Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 It's still a tough ask obviously but the game is most definitely on. Especially when you look at the teams we have still to play. I've never believed Forest and Leeds are good enough anyway. Play-offs will be us, Burnley and the Welsh.
dave the caveman Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 We needed eight wins and probably a draw from ten. Now we need seven wins and probably a draw from nine. Scunthorpe are crap, yet we still rode our luck. Tougher tests are to come. Call me negative, but we have no chance.
Ric Flair Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 I would have loved the Internet to have been up and running in 1996, we're an embarrassment. We're still in the mixer. Fook it.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 10 points from the next possible 12 is a must for me, then I will believe again.

Corky Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 Given that Forest and Leeds both didn't win games you'd expect them to it's been a decent day for us. Need to keep winning.
MC Prussian Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 I see your Wayne and Garth, Babs, and raise it by a B&T:
Jimothy Posted 12 March 2011 Posted 12 March 2011 dont want to be a doom and gloom merchant but sorry we arent going to make the play-offs - really hope im proved wrong though Thanks for letting me know. Where did you find this out? Did you travel to the future or do you own a crystal ball? Today's date is the 12th of March, the season ends on the 8th of May. There's a long way to go. We have 9 game and 27 points to play for and we're currently only 5 points away from 6th. Until it's mathematically impossible to reach the play off we're still in it.
Ric Flair Posted 13 March 2011 Posted 13 March 2011 I'd have loved it if the Internet existed in 1996 under O'Neill!
accessory Posted 13 March 2011 Posted 13 March 2011 I'd have loved it if the Internet existed in 1996 under O'Neill! Except O'Neill had had extensive previous experience of this league, and been involved in two promotion campaigns, while Sven hasn't. The two scenarios are not comparable in any way, shape or form. Nor is the current squad anything like the quality of the 96 one. BTW, in reference to your sig, Max moved to Leeds nearly 18 months ago. It's time you got over it.

I was merely stating I'd have loved to read the up's and down's from us fans back in '96 when we nibbled about the play-offs then thought we'd blown it, only to go on that stonking run at the end. It was almost too much to bare but fairytale stuff. Thank you for your observation. I'll consider it.
