Championship 21/22

[Guest]

I’m just going to enjoy the brilliant atmosphere there’s gonna be tomorrow (until 2pm and we’re playing 5 at the back) to be honest. Waiting on results tonight was (imo) slightly silly. But each to their own! A win tomorrow and no matter what happens elsewhere, we’re in with a shout of potentially TWO playoff spots on the final day which in itself is a miracle baring in mind how shit we have been. That’s all we should focus on right now.

The stage was set in the first half, Chair bursts down the leftwing and no one tries to get into the area, a few trots but no runs. QPR shite.

SU are a team of rustic cloggers with a smattering of skill. It must be  good to be a fan of them.

[davulsukur]

Big ask for us now, although obviously not impossible.

All we can do is win both and see what happens. 

Realistically, it's not going to happen but we knew that ages ago.

[HowieFive0]

The only other quandary is if we beat Bournemouth ..Fulham are  champions before playing Luton..they ll still  be half pissed by 

Monday teatime !!😂

[West Yorks Rover]

Listened to the game on Talksport, they said before kick-off that QPR had at least 4 key players unavailable,

(just our luck) didn't expect owt from them, especially with nowt to play for.

[Darrenbot]

If we cant go up at least lets beat the tin pot team from Bournemouth,i'd much rather Forest get the 2nd place than them.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

To be fair to Sheffield, that was a great second half performance in a pressure game for them.  

Compare that to the piss poor capitulations we displayed as soon as the pressure was raised.

Tells you all you need to know.

It was over weeks ago when we couldn’t take 1 point off the likes of Peterborough, Stoke and others. And Ewood is going to be a party venue for fourth division Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic as our lot fail to turn up again. Goodnight

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I'm going tomorrow to celebrate the fact we still have a Club to support after twelve years of these disastrous feckers in Pune!

We need to win both games now.

We make the playoffs if we win both and

Luton lose both games

and/or

Sheff Utd lose to Fulham.

and

Boro don't Win both

and

Millwall don't score a hatfull while winning both

We could finish level on points, GD and GS with Sheff Utd but would win the head to head.

We could finish level on points, GD, and GS with Millwall and Sheff Utd in which case Millwall by beating Sheff Utd twice would qualify

We could finish level on points GD GS and head to head with Millwall but with a better GD than Sheff Utd. No idea what happens then. A playoff to get in the playoffs

Hopefully not the fair play league

I admire your attitude. I promise you, we won’t win two games and even if we do, it won’t matter. We missed our chance in March. 

It's the longest of long shots, less than a 1% chance, but I don't get the point in being so dismissive.

[den]

It took some doing to finish behind all these teams, but we managed it.

[Gordon Gekko]

At half time I was bouncing around the pub like it was 1995 at full time I gutted. Can we still do it?

We win both games, Luton to lose against Reading. Lucas Joau screamer in the last minute

Abducted by a bent ref... what else could it be? 😉

Edit. Clarification - dodgy

[DE.]

Ultimately we only have ourselves to blame. 10 points clear of 7th in January to where we are now is on the manager and the players and nobody else. I suppose Mowbray had to give us one more masterclass in death spiralling before leaving, and this one may have been the most spectacular of all of them considering the amount of hopes and dreams it destroyed.

What a fabulous day to have a vital home match on. I agree with you, if we hadn’t have blown our chances the gate would be tremendous today.

It's going to be a very good attendance.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility yet. 

Goal difference could come into play so Rovers need to bag a few without reply to stand any chance. 

Goal difference isn’t a factor - we have to win both matches regardless so our GD will be minimum +13 if we do that (win by 1 twice). We also need Sheff Utd to lose against Fulham regardless so worst case their GD is also +13 (lose by 1).
Same for Luton - if we catch them then we have to win 2 and they lose 2 - in that case there is a minimum 4 goal swing and we then have a better GD.

Shorter Version: GD doesn’t actually come into play for us

You'll get decent odds..

@Mercer might lay you ....

16/1 or so now - we were 4/1 when QPR were winning at HT, nice lay. 

[roverandout]

No point in blaming qpr. Sheffield utd do what all good promotion chasing teams do, keep going.  Find a way to win. Rovers are clearly not a promotion chasing team

Yeah, they came from behind in a game. Something we don’t do.

Correct.
