Many people seem to miss the point and think having a run against the lower sides is preferable for a playoff push.... Well think about it logically and it's certainly not. Any team fighting for their lives is anything but an easy 3 points, just look at Wigans recent form against top sides to highlight that.
Anyway, that aside, even if they were all 3 point bankers it has no impact on the teams above us we'd be trying to overhaul. In reality if we were to go on a winning run and a late charge, you want to play a number of the teams in that group also fighting for a play off spot because 3 points off them clearly means they'd draw a blank and we'd gain 3 points on them in the table or overtake them, pull away etc. Equally any positive goals scored doubles up as negative for them.Comment

Of the seven teams above us fighting for 6th we are only due to play one of them, Millwall at home.Many people seem to miss the point and think having a run against the lower sides is preferable for a playoff push....

Sometimes in life if its bad you have to accept it.
Sometimes in life if its great grasp it with both hands.
We will probably never be ready,but personally not worried about prem status but the money would secure the clubs future and we may even stay up.

Could easily go back to our 2 wins in 10 form (Mid Dec to Mid Feb) so I'll just be happy if we are still 6 points off the PO at the end of the season !Comment

I just hope the players don't think the season is over and play without any urgency, desire and spirit. If they put 100% effort into winning games they can get to within touching distance of the play offs, but I don't expect to finish in the top 6 because this team is just as capable of losing as they are winning and will I expect, lose at least 3 of the last 9.Comment
