Points needed to secure PO spot?

[sainthelens]

Thought last week we needed 76, I'll stick by that.
Reading have tricky run, so that should do us.

 

[monmouth]

Yeah, four more points

Edit or maybe just a draw at Reading and another draw.

 

[eteb]

looks like any of brentford, muff or barnsley in the semis - thats difficult

 

[JackFish]

One more win and a draw or two will probably be enough from here, unless Reading really smash things up in their last five, which seems unlikely. Be nice if we could get it in the next two games and not have to be shitting ourselves for the rest of the season!

It would also be nice to go in with some momentum.

 

[Swansea93]

Ideally avoid Brentford and Bournemouth in the semis, as good as Barnsley have been we’d be more confident playing them having already beat them twice this season.

 

[Lifelong]

Win our next 3 games and we’ll put pressure on Watford.

 

[Skippyjack]

Win our next 3 games and we’ll put pressure on Watford.

Leave it out old man, it's gone, accept it

It certainly would.
Hopefully Barnsley in the semi let Bournemouth meet Brentford for a final place.
No easy games though but who knows. I'm certainly a bit more optimistic after today's game.

Leave it out old man, it's gone, accept it

I refuse to accept it, yet.

What’s with the old man remark?

I didn't mean it as a dig, I'm just resigned to the fact it's done

 

[monmouth]

To be fair, us and Beesford Barca in a shoot out has felt a written script this season. We outplayed them at their gaff, they did the same at ours. Winner take all at Wemberleee would be quite an interesting way to nail the argument.

Bring it on then.

We need 10 more points to guarantee a play off spot and that is assuming that Reading win every single one of their remaining 5 games (which includes matches against Cardiff (H), us (H) and Norwich (A) so not the easiest run of games).

Victory alone against Reading would virtually guarantee us a playoff spot regardless of any other results.

As long as we can avoid a 2 legged match up with either Bournemouth or Brentford I would be happy, I would much rather take them on in a 1 shot match than over two legs.

I think the best we can hope for now is something like:

3) Brentford
4) Swans
5) Barnsley
6) Bournemouth/Reading (hopefully Reading but I can see this being Bournemouth)

I think we would have a chance over 2 legs v Barnsley but not over Brentford or Bournemouth.

Putting my Mystic Meg hat on...I can see us getting to the final and losing to Brentford or Bournemouth. Losing to Brentford in the final would be painful.

Seems wer at a point now that come the play offs ( and we make them) wer not too sure what form we gonna be in. Elements of the 2nd half yesterday had me thinking 'bring anyone on'. Big big iff, but should it be Brentford in the final the fear of losing 2 consecutive PO finals would carry pressure which would add to a very nervy showing from them.
