Next to no chance of automatic promotion.

We have no killer instinct whatsoever and no winning mentality.

That doesn't equal to me 20 odd wins in the next 8 months.

We have no chance of finishing in the top half. We are fucking diabolical.

We're closer to relegation than any hope of automatic promotion. That's not to say we will get relegated, but we are what we are: a very ordinary Championship side that thinks it's better than it is. It may be better to close this thread and resurrect it next season?

We will finish comfortably ahead of bottom three so I'm not worrying about that at all despite the poor placing currently.

However to get 2nd we'll need 80 odd points. We simply won't do that. We need to win 25 or around that in under 40 games now...it's not going to happen.

We're showing no indication it's going to happen despite spending a fortune at this level.

As long as that thundercunt Westwood continues to haunt this club and side with his presence, we will always be in with a chance of being relegated.

This mob aren't going anywhere this season. We won't go down, but there's absolutely no chance of even threatening the play offs.

You're right, if we keep going at a point a game we should just about stop up.

We're still only 5 or so points off the play offs.

Sometimes there's a 20 point difference between 2nd and 6th so I wouldn't write off that at all.

Worst thing for me so far this season is not that we can't win when we play badly like tonight.

We can't even win when we play well.

That's because we're not very good. It's because of that fact that I can write the play offs, erm, off.

I'm laughing as I follow you round the threads - is "ghastly" the new "Boot. Face. Stamp"  ;-)

By my admittedly dodgy calculations, if games only lasted for 85 minutes, then we'd be 4th in the league

Sheff Weds scored on 85 mins, Huddersfield 86, Forest 87 and Brentford 88. Is that 7 dropped points in the last 5 mins?
