    No not at all.

    Do you honestly believe we will win 9 from 12 when we've won 3 from the last 12...

    Huddersfield, Leeds and Wendy all to make the playoffs, but lose out to Fulham, who've looked about the best side we've played all season, home & away, IMHO. We can all have a laugh at the £££ that Wendy have spunked on a failed promotion bid, and look forward to derbies & decent gates against that trio and the Blunts, who look pretty well placed for automatic. Yorkshire-tastic.

    So you think Reading will miss out?

    Haven't even looked at the table. That plan is just what I'd LIKE to happen!

    I have absolutely no idea.
    However, it's certainly not clear cut like you are suggesting. I've shown. You 9 game all of which are winnable

    Summat would have to stir us into being creative and clinical for us to get going again and have a real go at it.

    I don't think we've started playing badly, just missing who's left.

    Bradshaw and Armstrong may score the odd goal, but they go lots of games without even a sniff.

    Too daft to debate with but too entertaining to ignore.

    IMO Think we'll be stronger towards the end of the season:

    QPR D
    Ipswich W
    Norwich L
    Wednesday D
    Cardiff D
    Blackburn D
    Wigan W
    Brentford W
    Bristol W
    Burton W
    Newcastle L

    That'd give us 69 points which will be good enough for a top 10 finish, but we'll finish a way off the play offs but then again, I never thought we'd make the play offs even with Conor, Morsy, Bree, Winnall, we're not consistent enough and we don't have a large enough squad depth to compete with teams like Fulham, Reading and Norwich and I doubt that'll change in the next 4/5 years

    Even though they always seem to have the footballing gods on their side when they play us I'd rather live with the feeling of abject, sickening frustration twice a season than see them in the Premier league.

    Me too. They range from contempt to loathing.

    I promised myself I would never go to hillsborough again mate, then I decided that I was going to do every away game for the first time, so had to sit there and watch it all unfold yet again.

    It's like bloody groundhog day when we go there. How the football gods ever allowed us a win and a draw in successive seasons has me stumped.

    Are you genuinely saying that any of the games I've mentioned are not winnable

    I think they're winnable. Just can't see where goals will come from.

    Hopefully now I've said that we'll be on fire!

    Top two will remain the same I think, both too good to be caught. I see the play offs also remaining the same, with only Fulham likely to close the gap and put pressure on. Then it's hard to predict. Anyone could go up, but I just don't fancy Reading somehow, especially over two legs. Tempted to say Huddersfield really, which would be my preference, but Leeds are very solid. Wouldn't want Wednesday to go up really, simply due to the delusions of grandeur already being sufficient. I would like to see a Yorkshire team go up mind, even if it is Leeds.

    Regarding our chances... well they've gone really haven't they? I don't actually think the team we took into January would have quite made it, personally. We'd have been close mind, perhaps 7th or 8th if momentum gathered. But the failure to replace the departed talent put pay to our chances. There are plenty of winnable games coming up, I expect us to have a good April for example. But Derby on Saturday was must-win for me and despite playing quite well, we looked a little short. Scoring goals seems to be an issue now and the bench doesn't really offer an alternative. If Bradshaw and Armstrong don't find the target, we're struggling.

    We could win the Premiership next season. We could win the Champions League the season after just as likely for a team near the bottom of the form league.

    I would. Respectfully point out that the only table that counts is the championship table and their are plenty more points to play for and they we have a team capable of accruing the 23 points necessary to obtain a play off position

    The bench is, let's be frank, an absolute joke.

    Let's have a bet then proceeds to charity. I bet you we don't win 8 out of 11 games and I bet that we don't finish in the play offs. It's a win win for me and you are so sure it's not even a bet for you.

    Oh come on, what actual options did we have on Sat? We ended up wi Elliott bloody Lee on.

    You can't tell me that the lack of options Hecky has doesn't bother you, really now can you?

    I'm sure you can like, la la la
