They've been awful today by all accounts. Now head to Huddersfield for a local derby. Huddersfield off the back of a win at Forest too.

Of course we need to beat Luton.

Finally a team susses out Barnsley. Long balls over the top to deal with the high press.
If we want to make the play offs then the team to need to come out on Wednesday night and start fast.

Finally a result goes our way. Realistically it's still unlikely we will fight our way back into the top 6. Even it we manage 3 wins and a draw Barnsley only need 7 more points to finish above us. I think 4 wins gives us a 50% chance as they'll need 9 points as our goal different is slightly better. Another 5-0 tonking at Luton would be the dream.

Although a win at Luton and a Barnsley draw means the gap is cut to 2 points with 3 games left. This is going to go to the wire. Although in truth if Joao had put away that open goal at Barnsley and we won 2-1 we'd be 1 point off

Back in, slightly...if we can gain one point on them in the next three games it makes it all to play for at the end and they have Norwich.

If we are winning at HT on Tuesday and Barnsley aren't (certainly if they are losing) then there will be massive pressure on them.

I guess today was the first time they've played knowing they could essentially seal the play-offs.

Who knows, Meite's late equaliser could yet be key*

*it probably won't be

So after the latest round of games we've reigned in a rival by a point.

I'll take that. It's not over til it's over.

Reading FC remains in a critical condition on life support. Sources are still fearing the worst.

It’s not going to happen but wouldn’t it be nice to scrape into the play offs and win the fukkers.

Norwich are on holiday already
What makes you think they’re likely to be trying then ?

Yep. Better than nothing and certainly better than we looked like doing in the 93rd minute.

Minimum target is take 1 more point than them over the next 3 games so there is a chance on the final day.

2 derbies for them next, so let's see what happens. We just need to win on Weds.

You do realise that you threw the biggest hissy fit in the history of hna? When Bowen got sacked and pauno took over? You are in no position to be pointing fingers at anyone Ian.

The people saying we were drifting out of the play offs were actually correct. Because we have. And now we’re desperately hoping Barnsley fcuk it up.

No amount of playground talk is going to change that. Especially from this urine sodden clown.

And also, if by some kind of freak occurrence we actually make the Play-offs, the minimum requirement is 2 wins and a draw fom 3 games. Can anyone see that happening with our form and confidence of late?

LUX, any chance you could share with us on how you managed to obtain hallucinogenic gear during the lock down?
