Ìt can and does happen. I don't think it will though. I think if we need to beat Preston we will do.

You'll have to excuse Devon he's not the "glass half full" type. I think if I met him in real life he'd depress the hell out of me.  ;)  No offence intended!

No it isn't actually. But don't let the facts (1 defeat in 11 games) spoil the rhetoric.

It wouldn't surprise me if we lost to both Leicester and Sheff Wed....at the same time it wouldn't surprise me if we beat both!
Our form has been quite poor for a number of games but we've managed to turn defeats into draws (Millwall & Watford) and a win into a draw(Stoke). On Saturday we were the better side when it was 11 v 11 but we didn't create anything of note. Had we kept 11 on the pitch I'm pretty sure we could have found a way through Sunderland.

I agree, I think we we will beat Preston if we need to. They are all do ne if they don't win tonight. 

Leicester and Sheffield Wednesday are both tricky for different reasons though but we have reasons to fancy our chances in both too.

Leicester should be promoted by now and they can only blame themselves for not being. I wouldn't be feeling too confident about keeping my job if I was Enzo whether they stumble over the line or not. They still have the best squad at this level though.

Decent chance our game with Wednesday's is a must win for by the time it rolls around (with Blue facing Rotherham this weekend then Huddesfield).

Doesn't feel inconceivable to me either that we could go from one loss in 10 to 3 loses in 4, especially with our performances of late.

If Preston fail to beat Southampton tonight, realistically they can't catch us.

Only Hull can realistically catch us in my opinion.

I think so, and they have got it together the last few games.  Tough run in though.

Looks like 1 more win will do it if Hull win their last 3 games

I suppose Coventry could theoretically go ballistic and score 4 hatfuls, but 75 will do it now.

76 is guaranteed

Win and and a draw sees us through

Need to win both though and go into the PO’s with momentum

Don’t Hull and Cov have to play each other too?

Watched the last 10 mins of Hull game. They all hit the deck after the final whistle. V much looked like they felt it’s chance gone - which barring extreme circumstances, it probably is

4 points guarantees but I expect a win next week is 90% likely to do it from here and if it’s not certain to do it by KO after the midweek games its extremely likely to do it by the time the game vs Wednesday finishes.

We want hull not to get beat Wednesday.

The PO games are one offs and I don't think the performances or results in the next two league games will make a blind bit of difference - other than our top six rivals will be scouting us very closely. It is over a week from end of the season to the first leg anyway.

1 point should be enough, 3 100% will be.

just win Saturday and we can all breathe a sigh of relief, make 8 changes v Preston and throw everything at 2 legs.

If it’s done after playing Wednesday there is a week until the final game and then 8/9 days before the first leg so we should play our strongest team vs Preston unless anyone has a particular knock
