afar

They probably need 5 wins from their last 9 games, and perhaps a draw or two. That will get them to 35 points plus. Not impossible but since they only have 5 wins in their first 29 it would be an amazing turnaround in form.

If we don't win another point this season Huddersfield can afford to lose 4 out of their last 8 to overhaul us, Reading can only lose 3 and Leeds 2 out of 7. Win in midweek and it 3,2 and 1 respectively at least. Even if we just drew all our remaining games, Huddersfield would have t go on an amazing run to overtake us.

That is phenomenal, honestly I know it's so cliqued to bang on about crowds, but where in the world would you get numbers like that for a season in the 2nd tier ? VfB Stuttgart have averaged 48k this season, with a season high of 60k. That's outstanding too, if we had as big a ground as they obviously do I wonder if our numbers would be even higher or are we pretty much capped out ? Just a little hope, that's all NUFC fans need.

If Reading beat Leeds we'll be 10 points clear of 3rd, but they do have a game in hand.

That will do me, 3 more of these will probably be enough now, hudders have gone off the boil a little and they had another player sent off today. Burton score !!

Did ando say he would like a turd goal,I would take any type of goal personally.

One of them will get a late winner. We need the 3 points, this is probably the easiest game left for us. On paper it absolutely is, they are second bottom, we are at leaders at home, any other club in the country you would be certain of a home banker. As you would with the game in midweek too, essential we win them both and if we do, I'm sure we'll have a much more comfortable next few weeks.

We need this, I think if none of the top 3 win and Leeds beat Reading, it's suddenly 4 horse race instead of 3 for auto. We win, Leeds are nothing to worry about.

YES !!!

I guess as long as we match Brighton and Huddersfield, it's not a complete disaster but will be hard to take if we can't beat these at home.

That is not in the script

Sounds awful again

I'm on safari and it's doing what it's done all season for me which is stuttering every few seconds, the stutter usually occurs when someone takes a shot at goal.

11 mins gone, 9 to go. Just a general opinion on how I think this game is gonna go man, no reason to jump on comments for comedic value which you seem to want to do at every opportunity, like laughing at me for saying we'll need 90 points to be sure of promotion at the beginning of the season. You are seriously starting to lose it man.

We are gonna need to be patient here, I feel.

Seems like Brighton are the most predictable out of the top 3. They don't appear to do so well against the better teams losing twice to us and recently lost to both Huddersfield and Leeds however they tend to put away the weaker sides. Ourselves and Huddersfield are prone to the odd upset against teams we really should be beating.

Right now I see us as a team that looks like it will blow this lead we have, that's based on our form. Hudders and Brighton could help us out by being equally inept though. Really should have put any nerves to bed by now. Fucking 1996 really makes you a pessimistic bastard. We really should have enough of a cushion now with only 9 games left for Hudders to be pretty safe. 5 wins from our last 8 will be enough surely, that's easily doable.

Simply not good enough if we want to go up.

A point doesn't do a lot for us, need to really go for it.

Not good enough this tbh, we need to capitalise on last night's result, we are supposed to be better away from home and Brum are awful.

We should be in cruise control after the tough week of away fixtures we had, but we are not and to be perfectly honest of the 3 teams chasing the auto spots we seem the most suspect, the others would not have lost in the manner we did against Fulham. We are not winning a playoff with both Sheff Wed and Fulham possibly in it, they both have our number. Not very confident right now, we need a huge turnaround in performance from the last two and more importantly 3 points from the Brum game, it's absolutely vital.

They've thought after the 2 big wins it was done, and tbf I think we all did, but clearly they are in real danger now of complacency. Pathetic result today, no idea how they played but to get beat yet again at home to that scoreline, is just not good enough. It would still be a massive fuck up if they didn't get auto and maybe this result is a kick up the backside that they need to keep the focus levels but they and rafa need to learn from this, and ffs find a way to play at home. At an 8 right now, but these are worrying times, Hudders and Brighton aren't giving us a chance to breathe.

I would take a draw from this at this point, keeps us a point ahead and Fulham sound have decent.

Wow we are going to f this up aren't we ? There was a danger after the two big wins that we would think the job's done, sounds like Rafa needs to get them re-focused.
