joe 0 Posted March 16, 2015 With the run in and form Watford and Bournemouth have I really can''t see beyond them two as to who will go up in the automatics, I have a gutting feeling that the 2 points dropped Saturday could be the difference, if we can put a string of results together we could make it but I also have doubts about how we drop our game against the so called lesser teams , either way I am confident we will get promotion via the play offs if it were to come to that but it would probably be the death of me considering how nerve racking I have found games in recent weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adycakes 5 Posted March 16, 2015 No, sorry I don''t agree.Until it''s mathematically impossible to get in the top two then I wouldn''t rule it out at all, there are some big games still to be played.Watford''s next 4 matches are Wigan (A), Ipswich (H), Derby (A) & Middlesbrough (H)Bournemouth''s next 4 are Cardiff (A), Middlesbrough (H), Ipswich (A) & Birmingham (H)Points will be dropped, we just need to keep up the pace.

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted March 16, 2015 Agreed, points will be dropped, we just need to make sure we keep winning.I guarantee you, if we win every game from now on, we will go up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havemyhowsonit 0 Posted March 16, 2015 Yeah but they can afford to drop points. We can''t if they actually do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted March 16, 2015 Pretty confident they will all drop points which is why I say that if we win every game, we''re up. I think we won''t even need that but we can have that positive mentality that basically tells the players that their efforts will be rewarded. A team like Forest could win every game from now on and finish 7th. I am 100% sure if we win them all, we''ll be promoted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted March 16, 2015 Three points off top with a lot of the teams around us having to play each other. The only teams in the top 8 we''ve got coming up are Forest and Boro, with a glut of ''winnable'' games as well (including several away games, in which we''ve been performing excellently). If we win 6/7 of our remaining fixtures, we''ll be champions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted March 17, 2015 If we win the remaining games we are guaranteed promotion. It''s the last 2 games, the playoff and final (should it come to that) that would guarentee promotion more than any other games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
93vintage 16 Posted March 17, 2015 One loss and we''ll probably need a minimum of 7 wins and a draw. If we remain unbeaten then we have a fair shout of clinching 2nd place with 6 wins and 4 draws. To remain unbeaten would mean we have to complete an 11 match unbeaten run.I think we might just narrowly miss out because we''re needing to almost defy gravity in terms of historical performance. If the board had had the bottle to get rid of Adams sooner instead of trying to save face then we might have been in with a better shout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daly 500 Posted March 17, 2015 Should Leicester win all ther games they will stay upThat will not happen no more than we win all our games especially as we cannot beat the likes of Reading Wigan Fulham etcPlayoffs at best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted March 17, 2015 I''m all for a positive approach - and for sure, Norwich are capable of beating every other team home and away right now. However, what is the likelihood of that happening? Maybe we should ask the owner of Brentford to give us a bit of ''mathematical modelling'' - which already appears to be working in Denmark according to this article ...http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/feb/22/brentford-mathematical-modelling-denmark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary001 0 Posted March 17, 2015 We will not win all our remaining games and nor will any of our rivals , its a big blow dropping 5 points in the last two home games but if we do find ourselves in the play offs then the blame goes to Neil Adams . You would not expect even a radio presenter to go 11 games without a win in this league with the squad we have . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barry Brockes 145 Posted March 17, 2015 The blame would not lie at Neil Adams'' door imo. It would lay fairly and the squarely in the board room who had a total and utter brain fart by appointing him in the first place. Neil only did what anyone else in his position would do. i.e. accept the offer of the Manager''s job at the club he loves. Interestingly, Middlesborough haven''t done too badly by scouring Europe for a Manager. Anyway, time to move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 50 Posted March 17, 2015 Before the Derby county game I said we needed 20 points from our last 10 games for automatics. Now i think we''ll need 19 points and hopefully after tonight this will be 16?We will not be the only team that are nervous coming to the end of the season so it will chop and change every week from now until the end of the season.When Alex Neil came in we were outside the play off places, we now look certain to get one of these places at least so his target has been achieved.Its going to be a roller coaster so hold on tight and don''t try and get off too early. Just enjoy the ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
