The Play Off Fight 21/22

Interesting stats! I suspect it is exactly because Gray did not start every game that he managed to get those stats! He and Charlie just seem unable to complete a full 90....

Some very good news that might have gone unnoticed...Blackburn lost today against Sawansea...so there it is...a win on Wednesday will take us third or second

3 big matches tonight in the fight for 2nd

Blackburn Vs Forest
QPR Vs Boro
Bournemouth Vs Birmingham

I honestly cannot see us all winning. I fancy Forest to take something from Blackburn and we have a very tough match.

If both QPR and Blackburn lose we effectively bring Middlesbrough and Forest into the battle for 2nd.

If we can beat Boro we go 9 clear of them which is a huge gap.

Could be a really big night. My money would be on Bournemouth ending the night in 2nd.

Well we were right that Bournemouth would finish the night 2nd and that points would be dropped elsewhere.

We now can't go 2nd on Saturday whatever happens as Bournemouth have moved 3 points clear and have a far superior goal difference

We have the easiest fixture on paper at the weekend with Barnsley and other fixtures look favourable.

Bournemouth have a tough looking away match at Blackpool.

Blackburn are away to West Brom on Monday night so they both can't get all the points and neither can Huddersfield or Sheffield United who face off.

If things go our way we can definitely get automatic promotion. On the other hand we could run out of steam and/or get injuries to key players. If that happens we could miss out on the play-offs.
I know it's a cliche but it really is one match at a time - and let's enjoy challenging at the right end of the table for once.

Exactly Ghost - how nice is it to be looking through the other fixtures and working out the permutations each weekend! We've had many years of treading water and the end of this season is guaranteed to be exciting no matter what happens!

Yes it means that WBA are 6 points adrift of us (having played one extra game) and sit 8th; whereas Blackburn's point has them in 3rd place on 54 points (so two more than us) but having played two extra games. We are still well in the mix!

The team that is showing currently the greatest promise is Bournmouth...
