A little premature maybe but if we win 8, draw 4 and lose 2 of our remaining games it would put us on 70 pts and surely in with a shout of a play-off spot.
Not out of all realms of possibility and it's about time we put a bit of a run together, particularly now Hilly has settled on a competent back four and we have the legend back! | | | |  |

Not bothered if people agree with me or not, it's a forum and all about differing opinions. Just get fed up of people constantly being negative after some decent results.That's my opinion is that ok for YOU? | | | |

Yes, and who cares if we did/didn't deserve to win or not. We won 1-0, it was a massive goal, a massive clean sheet and a huge 3 points. Performances can come later - we could play superb v Sheffield United this Saturday and lose. Thats football for you. | |

Having attended every home game and most away games this season I do not think that we are consistent enough to be challenging for the play offs. We are making too many defensive errors to be higher up the table. If and when safety is assured Hilly should be planning for next season. We have lots of players out of contract in the summer. He needs to decide who he wants to keep and then give some of the younger players game time. If we are lucky enough to have a few meaningless games left at the end of the season it would make sense for the likes of Hooper to get more experience.
Hopefully with some shape shifting in the summer we can be challenging for the play offs next season. | | | |

It is rare. 55 points is too many, we won't need that. Anything over fifty should be enough, we are in the final straight now and like you said,last night was massive. Our most important win of the season and one which should now free up the players a bit and maybe allow Hilly to play a more expansive game, especially at home.
It's been a really tough season for the manager, one that's probably mentally drained him a bit. A season of inconsistency and probably a lot of frustration but at the end I think it will make him a better manager. I hope we achieve the safety target with games to spare, that will give him time to clear his mind and focus in a bit earlier on the make up of the squad for next season, he needs to be ruthless and make room for some fresh faces, re-energise the squad.
He's certainly earned his corn over the last week or so, brought in some new faces and picked up five points in pressurised games. You wouldn't swap him for anybody else would you? | | | |

I reckon to reach the play offs we'd need 72 points minimum, which would need a better points per game ratio than any team in the division has managed so far this season. Never going to happen.
On a slightly different front, I did notice we've already got four more points than we did in the last time we had a second Lge 1 season with fourteen games to spare. | | | |

There was no continuity though going into that season, our manager at the time *ucked off in the close season and took his back room staff with him. You can't compare the two really. [Post edited 24 Feb 2016 17:18]

Love your positivity but we haven't won 2 games in a row since Adam was a lad. | | | |

Only comparison was to show just how horrendous that season was. | | | |

I was wondering how you knew ( or more accurately think) certain people were not at the game, I am very happy to have a different opinion to you.
Wondering how is it negative to say we won't end up,in play offs, or even if someone doesn't think we deserved to win a game or not, after all people have different , sometimes more realistic views. People have the right to express their views on a performance they have seen , or even one they have just read or heard about. | |

I agree, it's results that matter. If we win its a good result, if we lose its a bad result. A draw can be either depending on the circumstances.
Last night was a massively needed and therefore welcome three points.👠| |

Wow wow wow
14 games to spare..
Think we can get 18 more points now and finish 12th... There or thereabouts. (60 points)
Massive win... Thank you Hilly and the players!! [Post edited 24 Feb 2016 18:56]

It was an horrendous season but the scenario for any new manager following the departure of Hill was very similar to the manager having to following Alex Ferguson at Man United, obviously on a smaller scale. A very hard act to follow for any manager.
This season has seen continuity so stability in the second season should be easier, having said that Hilly will be probably working on a far smaller budget than afforded to Eyre and Coleman. [Post edited 24 Feb 2016 19:12]

Their missed chances were down to inept finishing.
No matter how well you defend, there are always going to be chances. The better you defend, the less chances you will present the opponent with (and usually a lower quality of chance too).
If we'd have missed those sorts of chances and not got something from the game we'd be extremely disappointed. | | | |

Using the same logic if you miss so many chances due to inept finishing you don't deserve anything from the game then? | | | |

what a barsteward! I wonder what happened to him? | | | |

He got sacked and we took him back 
He came back a better manager i reckon. [Post edited 29 Feb 2016 20:44]
