Bradwell canary 112 Posted December 30, 2022 It will need a miracle to salvage anything from this season now. It seems that , as I speak, 10th in the Championship is about right, considering the awful displays this year. It was a pipe dream to ever think of promotion this season, don’t think anyone has done that three time in succession. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 7,797 Posted December 30, 2022 Given we have a new manager in probably fair for him to get time to build his team before we try going up. Not saying we need to abandon promotion hopes but fair to say automatic promotion is baring a miracle almost out the question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,149 Posted December 30, 2022 Yes, that’s totally right - we’ve only got 22 games left, so it must all be over. You do realise that we’d go back to 5th if we won tonight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But how’s the time to be optimistic and get behind the team! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarybubbles 2,199 Posted December 30, 2022 Depends on what Watford do where we go if we win, but definitely back into the play offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 3,218 Posted December 30, 2022 We could go 4th with a win. Top two is probably gone (barring going on a ridiculous run and winning every game) but playoffs are within our own control. First though we need to stop the rot. A draw would be fine right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its awful when so many of us want our coach dismissed. I will be satisfied with a decent game tonight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted December 30, 2022 The table is very compressed in the zone of the playoffs and just below, so a single win or defeat can make a huge difference. But I think 10th is a pretty fair reflection of our season so far TBH - that was the level we were certainly heading for under Smith, actually lower if anything. Its such a relief to have Smith out of the way and to hope the team and crowd will be energised. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
