No chance of play-offs.
Just focus on stringing together some good form and playing decent stuff.
Middlesbrough will be tough.

Need to keep improving.
We want to attract quality players in the summer who believe we will be promoted next season.

Stoke will be tough for them Win lose or draw expecting a good game same v Norwich It's the home games against sides who defend deep that are the big stumbling block but great to see Stoke accepting the challenge of sides who attack us atm Blackburn looked like they fancied it but Stoke got right on top Excellent

All I want between now and the end of the season is a strong finish. Not saying I expect us to win every game but finish the season strongly. Hopefully tie a few of the loan players up especially Pearson, and send the fans into the summer with a bit of optimism, believe and hope for next season that we can turn the screw and start competing up the top end of the league.

You can also see why Blackburn are in the playoffs:
Create little but take their chances
If we had their finishing/luck we'd be up with Burnley!

The season Durban got us promoted remember losing too Blackburn at home, sat in Butler Stand that day. If my memory serves me right, we lost the game before, I was sitting there a14yr old lad crest fallen, thinking our season was over.

No way are the play-offs achievable but it would be typical Stoke for us to never mathematically have a chance, yet finish 2 points outside the play-off places. We have plenty of winnable games in our run-in, one you should reasonably expect 18-20 points from.

We have plenty of winnable games in our run-in, one you should reasonably expect 18-20 points from. Hopefully we will continue to finish strongly, even if it does lead to a frustrating points tally. We could do with ending a season positively after the last couple. Especially with such a big summer in front of us.

Ben Pearson is the reason we are 14th not 21st, without doubt the best thing to happen this season. We're dog shite without him, and to a lesser extent Sarkic.
For me it shows how ineffective Thompson is, yet people still seem to rate him. He's never been good enough for this level.

The higher we finish the more chance we have to keep some of these loanees and attract some quality. Just keep going.
