Your right and there are still 54 points to play for but so far we have won approx 48% of the points available from the 28 games we have played. In an average Championship season a club will need 75 points to reach the playoffs which leaves us needing to take 63% of the remaining points available. Can you honestly say that you can see any situation where we can improve by 15% on our current points haul over the final 3rd of the season. :?

Remember the minimum goal for the club is to finish in the playoffs and , in my opinion, that's why people describe our season as "Done and dusted" because you know what? In terms of the playoffs it bloody well is, and long before yesterdays result.

Boxing day was my realisation it wouldn't be happening. This has been my mindset since that day and i believe we should take the opportunity to take market value for any of our players and blood or release some of our youngsters. So loaning a 29 year old is pointless however well he plays.

Pretty much the same time as me because after that game we were 4 points behind the 6th placed club, Ipswich, and 5 games later we are 5 points behind the 6th placed club so in the real world, with our stated target being to reach the playoffs at the end of the season, things are getting worse.

In respect of Immers the guy has a decent reputation and, I believe his contract is up in the summer, so he could be an interesting one for the future, but as he has only played 18 minutes first team football since September last year it will surely take him 4 or 5 games to get match sharpness. Bearing that in mind and with Slade failing to achieve the "Minimum" target will our new manager, and there WILL be one fancy him for the future?

Have we ever taken 63% of points on offer, promotion season for example?

Still a way to go but it does feel like we have run out of games.

No he wouldn't - the defender would have caught him up or shrugged him off well before he got anywhere near shooting

OK I know I spend too much time grasping at straws but over the past 2 games we have taken 66% of the points on offer :thumbup:

Overall the season we won the league we took 63% of the points available (87/138) so that sort of puts into perspective the challenge facing us at the moment. When you consider we still need to play Middlesgrough, Burnley away and Brighton and Derby at home we are, in my opinion, pretty much looking to take 34 points from the remaining 42 from the 14 other games.

This is why those living in the real world have concluded any chance we had of reaching the playoffs ended a long time ago.

Grasping and tempting fate.

The last time we achieved that over a 2 game period was 8 games ago of which we have had a return of 33% plus getting knocked out of the FA cup by a lower league team.

It's fine for fans to clutch at straws Tony the problem is when you have a manager who is drowning, like Slade, and he just cannot pick the right straw to stop him from going under.

Having said that if we win 5 of our next 6 games we WILL be right back in the game. ;)

Yeah I agree with u,your talking indepth stats and they don't lie but even without the percentage of points taken u just need to look at our form,we can't put back to back wins together even against poor opposition and to get into the playoff places we'll need a run where we win I'd say maybe four or five in a row,the teams above us ain't there cos they are losing every week so we can't expect them to drop the points and we won't go on a run to make up the points either. Disappointed to say it but we'll be lucky if we finish top 10

I think we have to give him longer than 30 odd minutes or so before we rush to judgement, look how long Mason has had to show what an average striker he is
