If they "all even out" as we're told, then we should be getting there still!If we add in the number of points stolen from us by appalling refereeing decisions, we would be top six

I dont think we’ll get 6 there maybe 4. Hoping for 6 thoughBeat both Swansea and Blades and its defo on
That’s Marv sorted 🖋Two worlds, real and dream. Realistically we're going to come up a fraction short, we'd have to win so many. But of course you never know.
Said this before though, and it's more a dreamworld thing than real. When we face the competition in the summer for the likes of Josh and Marv, the level of it is going up all the while, there'll be Prem clubs fighting for it if Josh continues to shine, not Champ like now.
If we could find a way to keep the squad intact through the summer, and get off to a flyer next year, then they may fancy seeing if they can make it up with us. If we're treading water then of course they'll be gone.
Only Bowler is seriously in with a lower PL team shout. Epo needs another 6 months. Beyond that then the nearest is Grimmy, who is some way short of that level as of now. Again maybe a consistent year adding things he's lacking and look at it then.mmmm...wish I could agree but think you are way too optimistic in who is good enough for the Pl..

We'd need a shed load of quality bringing in- probably 8 first XI players.
Mathematically it's doable but realistically it's not. Factor in it's ten points too as our goal difference is significantly worse than those teams in the play offs. Factor in there's also seven teams above us trying to get in there too. Factor in our inconsistency in stringing any sort of consecutive wins together. We've had a great season, much better than most of us expected but let's stay in the real world.We’re 9 points off the payoffs, it’s doable.
What you fail to mention and is just as important as what you quote is that in that season and at this point we were 7th in the league not the 14th that we are now. And we were only two points outside of the play offs not the in effect ten points that we are now. Two factors much more relevant than what you quote.At the same point in 09/10 season when we made the playoffs on 70 points we had 50 compared to our 48 now. The 4 games after that in 09/10 we got a total of 4 points. Never say never.
Agree but I only posted as a guideline from that season. This season also has teams with quite a few games in hand which could work in our favour.What you fail to mention and is just as important as what you quote is that in that season and at this point we were 7th in the league not the 14th that we are now.

but you missed out the most relevant guidelines. And I don't get your point on games in hand. We've a game in hand on Preston and that's about it. Like I said, it's nice to dream but eventually you wake up and you're back in the real world. We are having a great season that's the reality but hopes of making the play offs are just peoples imagination running wild.. To make up those ten points will take a minimum of four games and that's assuming nobody else in between all start to have bad runs too.Agree but I only posted as a guideline from that season.

I don't get your negativity nor the point you're trying to make in regards to all of this? I merely pointed out that we are 2 points behind were we was at the same point as now. The next 4 games we only gained 4 points from a total of 12 and that doesn't even include the 4-1 drumming we got at Newcastle.but you missed out the most relevant guidelines.

not being negative just realistic. Nor do I say anything about accepting nothing. I've also made the point about it being a great season. All I've done is point out some pretty pertinent facts which you conveniently overlooked and which are far more relevant than the point you make. .I don't get your negativity nor the point you're trying to make in regards to all of this?

If we all just sat back and accepted nothing then we would never move forward. Try be a little adventurous instead of argumentative towards a random post for no reason.
All being said, if we didn't reach the play offs then so be it, it's been a great season and one we should all embrace and look forward to next season.
This is a good point ; that season there were two clubs heading for 90 points or more and depressing the points totals achieved by everyone else. We finished sixth with only 70 points, for example. We may be broadly on course for that now, but it still needs us to win a very high percentage of our remaining games and even then it almost certainly won't be enough.What you fail to mention and is just as important as what you quote is that in that season and at this point we were 7th in the league not the 14th that we are now.

Entirely depends on the market - look how much petrol isNot with 1 year left on his contract he isn't.
we are building the club for a bright future, 150 million would be a great help whether we stayed up or not.You don’t receive that on day 1 and we would pretty much have to build a new side to compete. Another year of improving the quality of the team and who knows, we might go up and stay up.
Sadly we'll lose Bowler, Keogh, Stewart and Husband will be another year older, I think Maxwell might leave and so depends on how we recruit but also some big teams coming down, few decent ones coming up - I think the bookies will have us just missing relegation but only just!I think we will miss out this year on the Play Offs , build in the sunmer and make them next season
why will we lose Stewart?Sadly we'll lose Bowler, Keogh, Stewart and Husband will be another year older, I think Maxwell might leave and so depends on how we recruit but also some big teams coming down, few decent ones coming up - I think the bookies will have us just missing relegation but only just!
