View Full Version : Play offs - (very) distant dream

Still gutted that we threw 2 points away last night and that we have no game on Saturday to try to catch up.
Looking at Saturday's fixtures and the 3 teams above us we can still conceivably catch has depressed me more:
Charlton v Preston, Plymouth v Sheff Utd, Hull v Scunthorpe. You would expect 3 home wins which would leave Wolves (admittedly with games in hand) 7 points off 6th.
Adding to the misery further can you really see this under- confident bunch of players getting much away at Preston then Burnley? Regrettably at this time I can't which means the pos will then be a very distant dream.

pass the knife I think I want to slit my wrists
This is exactly what I was thinking. The away games at Preston and Burnley will decide our season, IMO. If we can somehow manage 3-6 points then we'll stay in touch, but anything less and I think we could be in the region of 10 points short. Admittedly with 2 games in hand, but it's points on the board that matter!

Last night's late goal had an air of season-definer about it, IMO.
You can't chuck a lead away in that fashion and hope to get anywhere.

A couple of poor results at Preston and Burnley and the gap will most likely be double figures, with Scunthorpe at home next the knives will most certainly be out.

This team and manager don't deserve to go up - end of. MM has run out of ideas (assuming he ever had any) and the players are totally lacking in confidence or organisation. The collapse from last season is unbelievable. MM's player choices equally so. Eastwood cost £1.5m and MM has undermined him all season. His love-in with the long list of Sunderland rejects
simply ridiculous. We have (at great cost to Mr Morgan's wallet) gone back to the stone age this season with the long punt to a very limited centre forward being the final pathetic throw of the dice.
The only question now is will Morgan stick with MM or not? The play offs or promotion? No way - we will be lucky if we hold on to our current position in the table under the current shambolic management.

I think that last gasp equaliser has effectively killed off our season. I think our players, possibly then 7 points off the pos, will be very dispirited at Preston and do well to get a point with a pretty daunting trip to follow to Burnley. We have been conjecturing on here for some months which game will do for MM but after Burnley we could well be some 10 points behind 6th, and whist he does not look at the table, I'm sure SM does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aren't Preston something like 30 odd games unbeaten under floodlights at Deepdale?

Think this needed repeating.
