Pepe the Horseman I'd really rather not play Brentford in the playoffs.


Agreed but I do think they are a Toney injury away from having problems.

Norwich ten clear of us. Swansea five clear with two games in hand. We won’t be catching these two.

If we do make the POs whoever we play will be a challenge, but with a full strength fit squad we are as good if not better than any club in the division.

Far too early to be throwing in the towel.

We still have them to play at home, but that's the end of April.

Quite. Who after Brentford beat us thought they would go on to lose to Barnsley and QPR back to back. Swansea don't score many but rely on a great defence. Not beyond realms of possibility they hit a sticky patch too. We would need to be good enough to take advantage of course.

History repeating itself for Brentford. Can't finish what they start.

Are these commentators watching the same game as me? they`re creaming themselves over Bournemouth and Woodgate, they look ultra ordinary to me.

Pretty average do far against a very limited Rotherham side.

With their GD a win for Barnsley isn't a bad result. Realistically 10 pts back.

Watching Bournemouth - Rotherham on NowTV, the fake chants are pretty cringe.

Yep good win for them

But still a long way off us. I do rate them as a side, seem a bit short of quality though

Agreed boro on Saturday. Then we have a nice run of games

Boro (h)
Wycombe (a)
Rotherham (a)
Blackburn (h)
Sheff wed (h)
Forest (a)
Birmingham (a)
QPR (h)
Barnsley (a)
Derby (h)

30 points available we should be getting circa 25 points from that lot? No? Which would put us on 76 points with 6 still to play. Two of those 6 are Luton and Huddersfield and of the others Swansea and Cardiff are at home. We are definitely still in with a shout.

That’s very very optimistic. If we get 20 points it will be a terrific outcome.
