Been promoted four times, twice automatic, twice via playoffs. I was under the impression he'd never lost a playoff tie but he was in charge of Wigan when they lost in the semis in 2001.
If he had never lost a playoff tie, you can be sure we'd add that line to his CV for him. :-(

No doubt we'll make the play offs. Derby haven't won for about 7 games but still haven't dropped out of the places.

Still think we’ll finish 3rd. Won’t catch Cardiff now unless they have a two game collapse and we win our games, but looking unlikely. I think after the break we’ll get back to winning ways. Fuck me we make it hard on ourselves though.

Fulham will finish above us.

Two legged match v Boro.

I'd still back us to win that.

Less so with a final.

I know a Boro fan and he is pretty excited about the form they are in.  I'm always wary of a team coming into form like they have been.

With that said, I'd probably back us to beat anyone over two legs. 

It's at Wembley they'll stick the knife in our guts.

I'd be happy with that right now.

Yes, Villa and Millwall fans marching arm in arm down Wembley Way, under the shadow of the glorious half bicycle wheel.   

What's not to love.

I think the issues would be more what happens after we've beaten them in the Play Off final and their factions have stopped fighting among themselves.

Slim hope - Cardiff have to play Wolves (H), us (A) and Derby (A).  IF (and a big if) they lose those 3 and we win all our games we will finish above them. Then it may boil down to GD with Fulham who have the easiest run in IMO. 

Now back to reality......

They would still need to drop points in another game. That’s how big a task it is now.

Well the burst my bubble of optimism and also confirmed maths was never my strong point!

Colin Wanker is a very good manager and coach, but he has unresolved bats and his belfry, and you never know what he might do next.

There was a documentary where he took his players to Scarborough for a day out and took out these "chits" relating to players who who had transgressed Wanker Rules, and who were therefore compelled to run into a freezing North Sea. Jagielka or "Jag" was one such if memory serves.

If the fuckwit pulls a similar stunt at Berry Head, for example, several of his players may be carried out to sea, other things being unequal.
