I can't see the top 6 changing apart from maybe Boro beating Millwall at home to take 6th spot. Other than that, it's as you were.

The cardiff game yesterday and Derby on 28th could both be dress rehearsals for the semis

Sheffield United look to have hit a bit of form as well. They could possibly force their way back into contention. I actually wouldn't fancy playing them in the form that they showed against Cardiff recently.

Fulham have got Brentford and Millwall their next two games. They won't win both of those.

Fulham can win 2 and draw 2 of their final 4 games and still finish with more points than we can get. They also have a better goal difference by 6. Even if they draw to both Brentford & Millwall, the chances are that they'll win their other 2 games (Sunderland & Blues).

Which scares the shit out of me given our results at their ground(s).

We wont win at Millwall and even if we do Fulham and Cardiff's remaining fixture mean we can't catch them. The Norwich defeat killed us.

I've thought for a while now that it'll be some no-mark team like Millwall that gets into the play offs then wins the big one at Wembley.  Just to add to all the other small no-mark teams like Bournemouth and Huddersfield that have suddenly become a lot richer than us.

That's Boro isn't it.

Imagine Boro-Cardiff play off, ball would ask to be subbed I think!

The thought of Cardiff in the PL is bad enough, let alone Millwall

I know Wolves have made most teams look average or poor this season, including us, but Derby look garbage. Wouldn't be surprised to see them slip out of the play offs.

That’s not what he meant though. Teams like WBA, West Ham, Newcastle are not no-mark teams whilst Swansea, Huddersfield and Bmouth are mainly due to size and history.

It crossed my mind last night while Cardiff fans continually applauded throw ins exactly how much time the ball was actually in play. Because especially in the first half there seemed to be a distinct lack of football and more windmill arms as the innocent football was hurled into orbit.
