Luton’s next two games are away to Huddersfield and home to Forest. Only 3 points above us.

And our next two are against teams we should beat but who knows what surprises TM will come up with.

If we win our last six games, I think we will be in the play-offs. As long as we are in the top 6 as the season ends.

Nothing to fear in those last 6 but we said we had a nice run of fixtures against Millwall (draw), Bristol (lost), Derby (win), Reading (lost), Coventry (draw).

Just the one win and one of those teams was managed by Paul Ince FFS.

I can't see us winning 6 on the bounce.

I can't see us winning all six either, but I will clutch at any straw.

We all know full well we aint making the playoffs.  Even if we were presented with an open door we aren't good enough to walk through it.

Less than 2 months ago we were sat 2nd, miles ahead of the play-off chasing pack and discussing whether the signings of January were going to be enough to run Bournemouth down for automatic or whether we would have to settle for a play-off spot.

At that point we needed to summon up merely mid-table mediocre form for the remaining 20 games of the season and it would have been enough to reach 75 points and with it almost certain play-off qualification. If we'd have done better than that we might have had games to spare to rest players and prepare well like Huddersfield did the other year when they relegated us by playing their reserves.

Now here we are wondering if we are going to need 4, 5 or 6 wins from our remaining 6 to have a chance of getting in there.

Not that we are capable of getting those wins either way.

I hope the manager is sacked for this alone. It is completely unacceptable what has happened here and he needs to pay the penalty, along with his coaching staff. It isn't misfortune, injuries or even money at this stage. Luton are showing that. It is rank bad management from a bottle job.

We and these players deserved so much more but when you have zero ambition and no winning mentality in the dugout or upstairs it eventually drags you down.

What an embarrassment last night at Deepdale as the Nobbers manager celebrated like they had won the league. They were playing Blackpool who were below them in the league and he was whooping up a 1-0 win.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

How can you knock that level of enthusiasm?

Would be great for our Manager to show that amount of raw passion.

Would rather that than the manager sitting there sulking on the sidelines because we have managed to come back and win 3-1 after being 1-0 down at half time.

‘Any message for the fans after beating your arch rivals, Tony?’

’No’.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

....as he sat there chomping on his Lemon Drizzle Cake!

[Wheelton Blue]

On the subject of managers showing enthusiasm, Xavi at Barca is the perfect example.

You can't help but have a smile of your face when you see him celebrate goals. For the Barca fans, that must be infectious.

Why do Rovers always have to do things the hard way? Why can't we just have a manager who sets the team up to do its best week in week out, and players who perform in recognition and appreciation of the privileged position they occupy in their work? I mean, if all of our players had Tugay's application and mentality, we'd be top of the ruddy league.. but they clearly don't...  😞

 

Better days indeed, down the Livesey Branch Road...

I definitely haven't missed hearing that. Often accompanied by "with x games in hand".

Yer we can chuck in,

"We're only 2 points off the playoffs and Boro and Forest have games in hand on us!"

Or 

"I'd rather have not won the points than have the games in hand!"

Wait, neither of those are right.........

 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Now eighth.

Sneaky feeling that Forest will catch Bournemouth. 
I’d rather play Bournemouth myself if we do somehow sneak into 6th

i think they are very fragile for all the money they`ve spent,their manager is a tosspot as well,i would`nt want to be facing forest any time in the near future
