Although it's unlikely that they'll start dropping points, we could potentially catch up with them they still have leicester reading,wigan,watford and ipswich to play.

until its mathematically impossible anything is possible!

We can quite easily lose 4 in a row as Forest can win 4. If Brighton win their game in hand then the gap is 10 points. We could equally mess-up staying in the play-offs as earning 2nd spot.

Nothing in football is a certainty.

"Nothing in football is a certainty"

Does that include missing out on 2nd place?

I think my post was quite clear and without needing clarification.

We couldnt quite easily lose four in a row. We havent done all season, so why could we now?

Wish it was top three straight up. At the end of a long season the table doesn't lie and if you are at the top that's what you deserve. To finish third and lose out to a team that was 6th is terrible, unless you support the 6th place team of course!

Last time City went up via the playoffs - 1996 - that is exactly what happened. We scraped into 6th on the last day of the season, with a win at Watford, then we beat Palace at Wembley. Brillo!

To some extent you are correct, Mike, but the advantage of the playoffs is that it maintains interest in the season for a lot of clubs right to the last day. Last season, for example, we had to beat Forest at the City Ground - something we had not done in the League since 1972 - and hope that Bolton would not beat Blackpool - who had nothing to play for but pride. We won with virtually the last kick of the game, and Bolton could only draw. The most exciting day of football I can remember in a long time.

I'm sorry Nick, I didn't mean to upset you.

Great logic Kevin! Because we haven't done so yet, we can't in the future!

Easily you said, im just saying we couldnt do it easily, even if we tried in this division mate.

Yes easily. It takes a second to score and a second for the whistle to blow for full-time. We have proven to be poor at scoring and we have proven we can concede goals. To factors which make losing a run of games easy.

Na your all right mate. Life's to short to be serious ALL the time.

[Brian Wilson]

Vokes gone off injured. Knee in bubble wrap. With Trippier out too, their luck with injuries seems to have come to an end.

[West Acton]

Saw that Bri. for me will only really matter if they lose as well
