Play Offs 2020

[Marinakis Red]

You know what's coming on Wednesday, were going to set up for a point rather than grabbing the opportunity with both hands and playing to win, Swansea will win 4-0 and stoke will score a 95th minute winner against us. Then the debate will be over.

And Sabri would be toast  :@

Or that is when the debate starts  :D

Just imagine if there was only 3 subs allowed and no time added on for drinks breaks we would probably be top two  :(

[GaribaldiRED]

Good point Sniffer  :D

[GaribaldiRED]

And just for the record, I'm certain that we will reach the play offs which is a great achievement for Sabri and the team.

 To be fair against millwall, reading, boro etc that was the case. 

As a player that was always positive I just cannot take any game where you set up to draw against bottom of the table. 

I like sabri and he has done a good job to get us where we are, but over the last few weeks we have bottled it when the pressure is on. Take care of your own business and win the God dam game or at the very least set out to win the game. Barnsley were bottom of the league for a reason. They have been the worst team. 

How does it affect our players mentally when sabri is saying from the off were not good enough to beat these were playing for a draw hoping we scrape something. If my gaffer was saying that to me idbe thinking he does not trust my ability to win the game, then doubt really does creep in and it showed yesterday.

Exactly. Possibly, might, could, maybe etc etc. Not a shred of actual evidence.

I think it’s just his opinion Sniff.

Ooh I like this game. 

imagine if we had signed Brewster, Gallagher and Woods in January. We’d “probably” be top two.

Certainly  be 5 points better off since restart. 

From where we have come from in last 3 years to where we are now is great progress. Some of the hysterical responses to our recent run kind of sum up how we ended up without the same manager at the end of the season as we had at the start for so many years. Sabri's worked well with a very limited squad. Good team, limited squad (a good debate elsewhere).  This 2 games a week period has been brutal and our squad hasn't been good enough to cover likes of Cash and Lolley, who bring so much to the team both individually and as a pairing. 

The Barnsley game was a car crash but we should still make playoffs going in as underdogs, pressure has shown on WBA, Fulham and Brentford at various times recently, so at full strength on a decent day we can match anyone. 

Getting to playoffs is a monumental achievement, anything else is a bonus. Last July when Sabri was appointed there were plenty saying Who? and he will be gone by Christmas. (Not necessarily here).

Playoffs here we come......I think.

[Strawberry Avenger]

Car crash.

Yes.

SA.

Interesting to note the view of the bookies.
We are 1/100 to finish in the top 6 ( as short as 1/500 with one layer ).
Have they not been watching our recent performances?
But just shows that even we can’t blow this one - can we?
