dylanisabaddog 4,949 Posted March 26, 2023 Barnsley have a great run in with the fixtures. Only difficult ones are home to Ipswich and Peterborough. My money is on them to finish above Ipswich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently Derby were awful at Peterborough yesterday. Peterborough were marginally better. It's a very poor league compared to the days of Norwich, Leeds and Southampton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheff Wed perhaps, Derby not really - but the latter will most certainly be fired up for their game next weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derby are miles away; even if they'd won yesterday, and all their remaining fixtures as well, they would have only been able to reach 91 points and that would be unlikely to get into the top two this season. It's shaping up to be a really interesting battle: any two from Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich and Barnsley for the two automatic places, and it's tough to pick who. I know Barnsley are a little behind the other three, but they have a game in hand and are most certainly in the best form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 705 Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Two from four by the look of it. The two that fall short of the autos will have a right old fight for the playoff place. Going to be so tough for the one that misses out. 🙂 Edited March 27, 2023 by Hairy Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,766 Posted March 27, 2023 Just now, shefcanary said: Barnsley will already have overtaken the Binners before they play their rearranged fixture at the end of April. 😉 Sorry shef but i just have this awful feeling that even if the Scum don't make the autos they are already virtually assured of the play offs contrary to what many said on here a few months ago and their current form suggests they are good enough to get to Wembley at the very least. It pains me to post that but as a back up i have got 10 away games under my belt which means i get to go to Scum HQ next season if such a horrendous day comes to pass .

It's Character Forming 1,164 Posted March 27, 2023 22 hours ago, Capt. Pants said: One of Plymouth or Sheff Wed will miss out. It's between the Binners and Barnsley now. Why ? the scummers are on a winning run, but Plymouth have won four out of 5 and are top. Wednesday have lost a couple. Question is, do the scummers now have some more mixed results and Wednesday get back to form, or not ? The scum's form has been mixed through the season so no need to assume they will continue winning every game. Having said that, I can't see them missing out on a playoff spot - but that's a 25% shot IMO, not the nailed on certainty that many seem to be thinking.

The Scum have only lost 4 games all season which is the least of anybody in with a shout of promotion or the play offs. Of course promotion is not a certainty but form over the season suggests only have those wearing yellow and green tinted glasses would be dismissive of their chances being other than very good.
