I honestly think this could play into our hands. If hull need to win for a chance of the playoffs they will have to attack which will leave us a ton of space to exploit. And by the time we play Coventry they may have nothing to play for if the scum or West Brom get another point. |

Agree, think we will get W Brom. Will suit us more. Final could be either. A lot of people won’t remember previous Play-Offs. We are a confidence team, we don’t do pressure. x 8 Play-Offs, got through once. Think we will win this one. |

It’s been a wonderful season and hopefully we can get across the line for promotion. I think the season is beginning to take its toll on a few and results have tailed off a little. It’s a shame we lost George Hirst as Connor Chaplin hasn’t been the same since. They knew each others game well and as a pair were extremely hard to contain. I like Kieffer Moore but we had to change our style to fit him in and we haven’t quite been so effective since. It will be very hard for whoever finishes 3rd as it will be a massive disappointment for them and hard to lift it for the play-off’s. In reality I think it could be 3rd v WBA as I think the Budgies will nick 5th. If we are still in the Championship next season we must try to go again with a few new faces. I just hope we can hang on to our Manager and most of our squad. |

Thanks for the blog. The point on operating expenses is a good one - hopefully an explanation will be forthcoming. But I’m afraid I can’t agree with your statement “If you appoint six well-credentialed managers and all six fail you can’t say it was down to poor decision making. It would be fairer to say that luck or circumstances played a major role”. You certainly can’t argue it was just bad luck that all six failed (and indeed you acknowledge that later). There has to be a massive element of poor decision making, even if those decisions were (in the main) supported at the time. You acknowledge that maybe we were going after the wrong type of manager - surely that’s a great example of poor decision making? |

One of the key issues with the recent run is we don't have quite the strength in depth to cope with intensive periods - we were running on empty against Watford and Middlesbrough (the same happened at Christmas too with QPR and Stoke obvs). Main thing is we have had a couple of weeks to give everyone a chance to recharge and hopefully the extra rest vs a Hull side that's played in midweek and then a Coventry side that's played eight times (to our five) since the international break including Sunday's devastating loss can help see us over the line to tee us up for a mammoth game at Portman Rd a week Saturday. |

It's impossible to predict what will happen, as the results over the past six games have made little sense. If we miss out, it's still been an incredible effort. Man for man we've been up against two sides who have far greater quality than ourselves, so to take it this far, and still have it in our hands is remarkable. Since Xmas I've been saying we'd finish third and lose to Norwich in the play off semi. Sickeningly I still can't see beyond that. With West Brom and Soton also in there, the play offs will be harder to win than trying to finish second. As with Mr Magee above, I'm heartened by the fact that my predictions have been appalling this season, meaning that next August we'll probably be starting with an 8-0 defeat at the Etihad. |

Gazelle, echoes my own thoughts, if we can replicate those commanding away performances from last year against three play off teams. Know Hull & Coventry are a higher level but then for most of the season we have been playing at a much better level so if we can bring the necessary intensity and energy think our determination will get us over the line. Got to believe. |

Why do fans keep saying, if we'd won this game, or won that game? If only football was that simple. And the same can be said for all the 4 teams who've been fighting for the top 2 places. So stop trying to analysexreasons for where ever missed out on thdctol 2, if indeed we do. |

Let's not focus too much on other games, each team is responsible for their performance, so we should focus on our own. Right now we need a win on Saturday. We can look at the next game after that. Still, it would be convenient if tonight's Coventry vs Hull game is super fast-paced with both teams picking up some minor knocks and keeping key players out for a week with a tiring draw... |

I'll eat a huge slice of humble pie if we beat both Hull and Coventry on the road, I just don't see it happening our away performances of late have not been great. I think we're favourites for 3rd place. |

For those thinking I was being pessimistic,no just realistic. I just don't believe we will win our last 3 games. If by some chance we do,we will have to play a lot lot better than in recent games.We were fortunate to beat Blackburn away, very poor against the budgies and average against Watford & Middlesbrough. Hopefully the possible return of Burns will give us the extra spark we badly need.,but our form needs to improve dramatically to win all three. Really hope they prove me wrong of course. |
