We've had an amazing run and all credit to the team.....

[ThePompousPaladin]

But... We are not top 2 material sadly.....

Would you like a bet on this?

 

[BrianWade4]

Yep, I'm about to throw myself off a cliff as well

You'll find me at the bottom

I feel more depressed this morning

 

[BrianWade4]

So, you're not giving up then.

NURSE!!!!

Birmingham away - tosh and lucky

Last night, tosh

You don't end up in the top 2 after 31 games by chance... we are in the top 2 because we have been the second best team at accumulating points this season! That other teams have different styles, or at times we are not free-flowing destroying teams is ultimately not relevant.. Burnley and Boro weren't those kind of teams either last year in my opinion. The pressure is building on all teams, not just us. Reading, Huddersfield, Leeds, Sheff Wed simply cannot afford to lose games at the moment. The gap was always going to close, at some point, but none of the teams below us thus far have shown that they are capable of putting in a run that will out-perform us over a third of a season.. Performances now are irrelevant, its all about points.. last night is not a signal for the rest of the season, but a game we probably should have won but didn't. It will happen again , but it will happen to others as well.. I would much rather be where we are than below.. you could be Derby.. how are they feeling right now?

I'm not sure if that were me, I'd be logging into NSC to shit stir. Each to their own.

, we have gone a long time since we last played well and won. I am ever the optimist and our next good win is always around the corner. I just hope this isn't one of them extremely long corners.

Lots of love,
Mr Pretty Damned Worried Now

I don't think I care if we played well or not, now it is about winning, grabbing points. I thought we played pretty well against Burton, without really having to get out of 2nd gear, I thought we put a good performance in against Sheff Wed, and I thought we played well enough to win last night.. Any win is a good win in my book when you're fighting for points, and just about every team in the Division needs points at the moment for one reason or another..

Unfortunately all I can think of right now is a swimming race where Newcastle and Brighton went flying away for most of the race but now in the final stages, are slowing down and Huddersfield are going full steam - if you imagine that scenario most people would be shouting at the TV "he's going to catch them !!!"

We're not in the final stages yet though, are we?

I take it, today, nobody is posting the bookies odds on our promotion as proof we'll be getting promoted.

Points on the board is better than playing catchup.
The Championship is a crazy crazy league, and nobody (not even Newcastle) can expect to cruise through it.

Wouldn't be in the least surprised if we TROUNCED Newcastle at the end of month. That'll steady a few nerves.

maybe not quite the critical final stages but we certainly have a lot less in front of us than behind us

I can understand the OP's concern about the performances, but to say we won't make the top 2 is rubbish. It will only be a matter of time when we hit form again. We tend to play better against the top teams and we are in a great position to be able to kick on from here.

the bookies dont tend to take form or emotion into it - they just see us top two and offer odds accordingly, they couldn't give a monkeys if it ends up being right or wrong as many punters will back for and against - they generally win either way

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Funny stuff, opinions. I watched last nights game just very impressed with them really, thinking this is clearly a top 2 team. The winner didn't come unfortunately but that doesn't really change what I saw.

I'm feeling a bit flat today, I'll be honest. Not so much about our result, but more the manner of the Hudds and Reading wins. Temporary deflation, but I'm sure come Saturday I'll be all positive again.

Please though, no more threads about promotion parties, or anything premature about going up.

What are the odds ?

 

[DavidRyder]

What are the odds ?

1/7 for promotion on Paddy.

15/8 for the title.
