    & Reading and Bournemouth both win (meaning we drop to 7th).
    Who on here would be confident we could get back into the play off positions?

    Personally I think it is a 3 horse race for 2 play-off spots and I'm confident that we will gain more points than Reading between now and the end of the season. I'm not at all confident about tomorrow, I think Luton are a bit of a bogey team for us, but I don't think it would be the end of our hopes.

    Plenty of twists to come. Wouldn’t be surprised to see us drop out of the top 6 at some point, and it will all be about how we react

    Readings run in is really tough i think its between us reading and bournmouth for the 5th and 6th place. If reading can get more points than us from those remaining games they deserve it.

    I would hate for losing to Wednesday of all clubs to have been the start of a bad run that ended with us missing out on the play offs.

    Not sure their run in is too bad, given Cardiff and Swansea’s dip in form recently.

    The worry is that three out of the last five teams we have played have countered our style so as to prevent us winning. I'm actually quite confident of winning today's game, but less enthusiastic about our chances of beating Boro, Coventry and Preston.

    Aye, since Rooneys lot came we have started to have too much possession, more than likely a fair chunk in our own haif, we have claimed 3 points from 30/40% possession many times.

    The buggars are launching it back at us.

    Yes we can, but we won't lose today.

    Also don't forget Brentford and Swansea are wobbling as well - both with only 1 win in 5 and we're only 4 points behind them.

    Have faith and believe, all of our promotions and great escapes in the past have included spells where we don't win all the time. In Val we trust.

    I don't think we'll lose today, in fact I'm looking at this one as a chance to significantly improve our goal diff.

    Only 2 of the top 9 teams won at the weekend. We don’t need to win every game. We do need to avoid losing confidence/going off the rails

    I am not so sure about Luton being a bogey side at their place , we have a great record there & hopefully that continues today , 3 v 1 to the super reds

    If we fail to pick up 3 points today then I think we will struggle to pick any more momentum & that will be that.

    Other teams have the blueprint now. Play vertical and do Sol/Helik for pace or pressure Mads/Toby into a mistake.

    I think Val needs to play strikeforce A to try and get us a lead and defend with the pressing of Frieser/Chaplin/Víctor.

    We have won 5 away games in a row scoring 3 goals in 3 of them.

    It just suits us more because teams don't like parking the bus at Home.

    Today should be fun.

    Luton are the 2nd Best in the división for winning the ball high up the pitch.

    Of course, Barnsley are the Best!
