Oh dear I can see someone bouncing byf's thread soon.

I didnt think we had a chance to be honest- but after todays performance I would be SHOCKED if we didnt' make the gayoffs

 

[backson]

Has there ever been such optimism when in ninth place!!

 

[bristolseagull]

its games like today that remind me whay i f***ing love the albion

There's so many teams in contention that I am sure two will have good finishes to the season, meaning we'll be looking at about 74 or 75points to get in the play-offs. I think we need 10 points from our 4 remaining home games (which is entirely achievable when you look at the teams left to come here). That leaves about 10 to get on the road. In all likelihood, we're going to lose a couple, so I don't think we can do it in draws. We need 3 wins in my opinion. Luton and Bristol Rovers are great chances to get two of them, but a win at Huddersfield will mean anything we earn at Forest or Leeds is a bonus.

completely agree , think Swindon will be the third we need

 

[Braders]

d'oh , yeah

erm.. Southend ?

 

[bright1064]

then hope for a huge performance and get a win at either Forest, Leeds, or Southend.

I'm optimistic about us getting a result in at LEAST one of those games, I really am.

 

[Napper]

still so many twists and turns and still cant believe it. Each game as it comes really , point tue , 3 on sat would give good base. Somehow get 6 points and we are laughing. This Whing suspension and Richards out at same time is a major concern for me. As much as we have momentum it is so easy to get in a neagative run. Lets go for every game. 10 cup finals Albion !

I think we can get good results against both Forest and Leeds, who are really struggling at the moment, even at home. Leeds have only won 1 out of their 6 last home games, and have Walsall at home before us.

 

[bright1064]

This Whing suspension and Richards out at same time is a major concern for me.

Whing will be available for Huddersfield on Tuesday. But will be banned for Swindon and Forest.

I don't think Richards will be available for Tues, in fact I'm pretty sure he won't. But I'd like to think he will be back in time for Forest and Leeds.

 

[SeagullEd]

That could be the deciding factor but then again, though I hate to admit it, Tank did play well.

 

[smudge]

Southend away, we should take a big following there. Lots of part time away fans (like me) are up for that one.

 

[Buzzer]

Is this another attempt to get mentioned in the next home game programme, Bright1064?

By the way - very good quote of yours in there. Top posting, matey.

And where are the NSC'ers that said Forster wasn't a 20 goal a season striker?
