Championship 2018-2019

[IFWaters]

Well worn cliche maybe but 3 huge games for us this week, all against playoff contenders. If we can get 7 points I think we can really get into the mix and breathe down the necks of Derby and Bristol City. Anything less than that won't be enough I'm afraid.

[Steve67]

I agree, no room for error at all now.  If we fail, it's important that we have some momentum going in to next season, as we want to be able to attract players, given the likely turnover.

[Chris Smith]

I think if we fail to win today then we probably kiss goodbye to our chances of the play offs. It will not just be down to the number of points but also the number of clubs we will need to outperform for the rest of the season.

Most of the club's above us from West Brom down are struggling to get results though and have been for some time.

Win today and we are 9th, only 4 points behind a Derby side we humiliated only last week. Hope that kills you etc....

And we’ve got chance of taking lots of points directly off those around us in coming weeks if we can stay in form

Yes, that’s why a win is important.

It’s why I cannot look at nor study the table now.
I know in my water we are too far off the pace, so I don’t want to build up false hope by looking and pondering, what if?

Win 4 or 5 games on the bounce though and I’ll have the table engrained in my mind.

4 points off sixth then.

Our GD is also decent compared to some teams above. That could be crucial on the final day.

Would take a point on Wednesday as this game will inevitably have taken a bit out of us and Forest are above us and won 3-0 yesterday. Boro is the game we need to win, we're long due a home win v them.

Way I look at it if this squad can accumulate another 20 points in the run in we would have good chance of 6th. Think 71 points would be enough.

[IFWaters]

Yes to me Wednesday is about keeping momentum and not letting Forest get one over us. Would happily take a 0-0 rather than losing a nine goal orgy.

[PeterWithesShin]

Beat Forest and it's on, still a long shot but if we have our main players fit there isn't a single side that would want to meet us in the play-offs.

[IFWaters]

They need to close The Sty to protect their next opponents fans. Millwall.

[PeterWithesShin]

Crazy how despite 4 wins in 16, we could be 7th and a point outside the top 6 after the midweek games.

Top sides are far weaker than last year. There will be no Fulham standard team in the play offs this year.

If we had last season's team this year I would've been hugely confident of top 2. Infact if we'd had Mings from start of season that signing alone is probably difference between play offs and mid table.

I imagine the will revert to their usual style and have lots and lots of fans coming dressed up as empty seats again.  Their cup final has come and gone.

[Sexual Ealing]

I don't want to tempt fate - although fate is past it and proper shit nowadays - but I think we can win the next two. We are exactly the kind of side that managers like MON and Pulis don't know what to do with. I apologise for the now inevitable defeats.
