Premature Evaluation: Play Offs

[earthworm]

No good reason to think about this other than because its the international break and nowt's happening for a while, but here goes.

Three things ...

1/ Who would you fancy us to beat, and 2/ who would you not want to meet, in the Championship top half at the moment, in the play offs, and why?

3/ Do you think Forest will even make the play offs after our start to this season?

 

[EmJay]

1 - Noone
2 - Any of them
3 - Probably, just to prolong our agony that little bit more

I literally cannot handle the thought of another playoff campaign! If we must go through them again, then please please let us nick 6th spot on the last day and go in with some momentum, rather than miss out on automatic and have to settle for 3rd!

Play-off talk after ten games?

I think not.

 

[DanR]

If last season taught us anything, it's that if you aren't going to finish in the automatic spots, you may as well finish 6th with a decent run of form, as 3rd having challenged for an automatic spot.

I'd still back us to be in with a chance of a playoff spot with a few games to go.

Yeah, I know mate. More than anything, its an excuse to look around at the league table, who's suprising you, who's looking like contenders for this years dark horses, that sort of thing. That and where you think our current form is leading us ...

This might help:

1 Queens Park Rangers 10 26 2 Cardiff City 10 20 3 Norwich City 10 19 4 Watford 10 18 5 Ipswich Town 10 18 6 Burnley 10 16 7 Reading 10 16 8 Swansea City 10 16 9 Coventry City 10 15 10 Leeds United 10 14 11 Nottingham Forest 10 13 12 Millwall 10 13 13 Doncaster Rovers 10 13 14 Derby County 10 12 15 Barnsley 10 12 16 Hull City 10 12 17 S****horpe United 10 11 18 Middlesbrough 10 11 19 Sheffield United 10 11 20 Preston North End 10 10 21 Portsmouth 10 9 22 Leicester City 10 8 23 Crystal Palace 10 8 24 Bristol City 10 6

I've never prematurely ejaculated in my life. Even when I'm in the clay pit. Wish I could sometimes though.

1/ Who would you fancy us to beat,

Anyone who in theory are a bigger/better club with better players than us. This is on the basis that we were heavy favourites against Yeovil and Blackpool, so under the premise of reverse psychology, it's key that we go in as underdogs.

and 2/ who would you not want to meet, in the Championship top half at the moment, in the play offs, and why?

Anyone the doesn't meet the criteria in my answer to 1.

3/ Do you think Forest will even make the play offs after our start to this season?

Yeah, why not. League is wide open apart from QPR galloping away faster than a wild colt.

We won't make the play-offs unless we strengthen significantly in January.

We won't make the play-offs unless we strengthen significantly in January.

Or Billy pulls a couple of special loan signings aht the bag in the next couple of weeks.

ok ... 36 matches left ... 1-1, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1,

.... ok 36 points - that gives us a grand total of 49 Points !!!!

I don't think that will be enough to make the playoffs unfortunately ...
