I actually think the opposite mate Done reasonably well last two seasons in knock out format and it’s entirely different ask to league. We are in the main pretty resilient at the back and don’t concede that many and have a game changer in Willock Generally It’s not the best side that wins the playoffs it’s the one who for three games keep clean sheets and reduce the errors Not a walk in Park but I certainly would not write us off if that’s were we end up. As good as anyone imo in that format I certainly wouldn't write us off, for sure, but equally I wouldn't write us in. Think some fans (not you) equate play offs with promotion, but at the risk of stating the bleeding obvs its only a 25% chance. A lot depends on form going into it and that's too early to judge. At the moment you would fear Boro and Forest but for all we know they could fade as Blackburn (and we) have done and someone like Sheffield United cd come up on the rails. Wd fancy our chances against Blackburn or Huddersfield, but so much just depends on the day like any cup tie. agree stains so much can happen between then and now Fulham aside I do think we’re competitive against everyone don’t mean we will win but will give any team them a game when we’re up for it. Been shit last few games but everyone has a down spell I’m actually reassured by the result against borough as we we’re turd they were comfortably superior side but aside from a fluky first and OG for second we walk off the pitch with a win Playoff is lottery form and previous results count not a jot |

Just enjoying competing to be honest...spent far too long worrying about going down! Exactly. On balance, this whole season we have massively overachieved and I'm pretty sure there wasn't a QPR fan around that realistically thought we had a hope of touching the playoffs, let alone staying in the mix for most of the season. |

Agreed but expectations rise and when you are in the mix as we are,expectations rise even more. When you see how wecan play,compared to how ee have lately its a real shock to the system. Its the frustration that kills you. |

I believe we were a couple in the season prediction thread, albeit we may all have been unrealistic.🤠 |

Breterton Diaz has done his ankle ligaments so will miss games vs us, Fulham and others. Potentially up to 10 weeks off. That'll hit them hard and hopefully see them drop below us!

Am not too worried about those two but Sheffield United have finally come good - they always had the players but were suffering from that relegation hangover we know well. Middlesbrough worry me with their manager. And Huddersfield are a team that has slipped under the radar even more than we did - but they have now gone about 12/13 games undefeated, beat Fulham away last weekend, they could be that team others underestimate. Personally I still think we will sneak into the top six, probably with the three mentioned above and Fulham and Bournemouth going up automatically. But I have always had severe doubts that we would actually get promoted. |

A number of teams now coming up on the rails. We'll have done well to stay top 6 come the end of the season.

Very tight table this year. Only 8 points between us in 3rd and Forest in 10th, with 6th-10th having a game in hand. We really have to find our January form again to stay in the top 6. Fingers crossed that we make it. The 3 points tonight were massive.

Without meaning to be pessimistic, I don't see a scenario where we last the distance. Too many sides just below us in better form.

After Reading I thought automatic was there after 17 points from 21 available. Since then we have fallen off a cliff and our lack of a goalscorer will ensure we finish out of the top 6. I saw an interview with LF who was asked why did a striker not come in January and the answer was because MW did not want one and said he was obly looking at a Number 10. That will be what eventually costs us. |

Are you suggesting that you feel comfortable based on us being second top scorers up to this point for the rest of the season with our forward line? |

All I’m saying is if you disregard the last few games where we’ve been mostly shit all over the park, if we stopped letting in silly goals we’d be far better off. Personally I never for one minute thought we’d make automatic but if our midfield find their form again we should make play offs. |

That is the point we were in a good position to have a go at an unlikely top 2 finish and we have took lost to Peterborough, Barnsley and Millwall who at the time were not in good form and worse still never scored a goal. Austin is overweight and unfit to play Gray seems to be bit part and Dykes well he is just Dykes. A striker was a must and these chances to get promotion do not come around too often and the change in the tean and lack of a consistent forward will hurt us. |

I do get what you are saying to a point.
But I can also see where Warbs is coming from.
Our goals for isn’t an issue and it’s not even as though we thumped a couple of teams 5-0 then scored fuck all for 10 games, which can obviously portray a misleading situation.
Up until recently we’ve been scoring consistently but our form has dipped of late.
So the options were to bring in a striker or have faith that we get back to form.
When Chas signed again it was like the second coming for a lot of fans. Look how that’s turned out.
Getting a regular goal scorer isn’t easy and if you find one at this stage of the season, they could pick up an injury and only end up playing 15 games. Putting your eggs in one basket essentially.
Warbs obviously thinks we still have goals in us and if we defend better we should be ok.

He should be embarrassed about the condition he’s in at the ripe old age of 32 |
