Play offs now in our own hands

Bradford winning wasn't great but Coventry losing was the main result imo

Bring on Southend

Another 6 pointer on Saturday big game. Will be a massive achievement to make the play offs considering we were bottom before Xmas. Looking forward to Saturday already

 

Struggling to see how Burton dropping points is a bad thing

Forget Bradford we are going for the top two

 

I can't wait for Saturday.

 

Looking at the table Burton would have to hit relegation form from now until end of season and drop alot of points to not make the top 2. I think wigan are just about in our reach but it's a big ask.

 

We can do it

 

I think Bradford are our biggest threat. Can't see Coventry finishing anywhere near the top 6 at this rate. It may be that we both finish in the playoffs at the expense of Gillingham or Wallsall. I think Millwall will make it.

 

We have 10 games to pull back 7 points on wigan before last game of season. Not impossible but will be tough given their form also. They need to have a wobble next 3 games while we pickup 7 or more points. Then its game on.

 

11 games to go....We've picked up 11 points from Burton in the previous 11 games..and we still have them to play. They've only picked up 8 points from the last 6 games so not on a good run, we can't afford many slip ups, but it's not impossible.

 

I reckon Burton will miss automatics. So does my season ticket holding mate.

They've gone long ball since Clough, I went to the Chesterfield game and despite winning they were awful.

 

I don't think Burton were ever a great team in the Division, what they were was a very well, men behind the ball, simple play organised team from day one. They wore people down and didn't dominate and hammer teams on performance. However they have been consistent in doing so hence their league position. They may have a bad run to come or if Clough is changing style might pull them closer to the pack. The league however is theirs to lose and doesn't need a great spell to succeed. All we can do, along with the other top 10 is keep piling pressure on. We have Burton and Wigan to play so what a big test on whether we have top 2 credentials even if we do fall short.

 

More than happy with the play offs if we can manage it...were not Real Madrid tha nooers

 

Just looked at Buttons fixtures and they have a tough run in.

Likes of Millwall ourselves Wigan and Gillingham to play.

 

Being the dull, grey haired, miserable, Victor Meldrew that I am, I'm not looking beyond Saturday's game. We'll get round to the other matches in their own good time. If we can get three points against Southend, that'll do for me and I'll be more than happy.

 

I don't believe it.

 

That clunking noise you just heard was the penny finally dropping with me, Jack! Nice one, old mate.

 

Burton are seriously over achieving, l think they will bottle it at the business end of the season. A Bradford fan in my office said they were awful last night.

 

I'm delighted Bradford won. I genuinely think we can leapfrog everyone except Wigan.

Burton's had a brilliant season & deserve massive credit but they have a small squad & budget & often teams like that get found out in the second half of the season as they don't have a quality squad to rotate & don't have a big budget to bring in new players.

 

Pantomime season starts early! :biggrin:
