There are probably not many on here left who still believe we have a chance of making the playoffs, but FWIW we have to consider the possibility. "On paper" our next 3 matches are relatively easy...
Huddersfield H
Wolves H
Bristol City A
... except that all 3 of those teams will be fighting for their lives.
If we can get past them and still be in with a shout we have 3 "promotion clashes" in a row....
Leicester A
Middlesborough H
Cardiff A
...and it's got to the point that we have to win those too to keep any hopes alive.
Finally we get to play Blackpool at home on the final day of the season. If by some miracle, we are still in with a chance, Blackpool would love to piss on our parade.
Based on the last two emasculated performances it wouldn't surprise me if we got battered in every one of those games. But it's a funny old game.
So do you think
a) We are already out of it and the squad isn't good enough
b) We have the players to win every game if they all start playing to their potential and as a team?
c) Even if our players play their best, we'd still need a huge slice of luck to get into the playoffs?
