Muzzy_no7 Posted 7 April Share Posted 7 April The more I think about it, the more ludicrous it is that Rosenior was nominated ahead for MOTY ahead of Robins, Corberan and Carrick. Was it done by vote by other coaches or an EFL board selected the 3? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if Norwich keep picking up points and Coventry/hull likely have to keep winning It could be that they aren’t able to catch Norwich by then which would give Ipswich an easier task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April was always the month that was going to test Ipswich. If they come through it with enough to go up you’d have to commend them. I was disappointed with the way they beat Southampton so the Norwich result was a major plus for us and Leeds. One win is still better than two draws so those extra 2 points against the Saints could still prove important. But they appear to have the most difficult run in on paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as they play them in their next 3 games where they won't yet be out of the play off running. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 7 April Share Posted 7 April While Coventry are still chasing the play offs they'll give it everything, Which is good for us as they might take some key points from others which will help us. We just have to do our own business and keep winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to do our own business and keep winning. That's the ideal hope isn't it. Same with Hull playing Ipswich in the penultimate weekend. Hull play Middlesbrough on Tuesday. Arguably want Middlesbrough to win so they're closer to the playoffs as they play Ipswich and Leeds in their two games after that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 7 April Share Posted 7 April Also, if it pans out this way, it's great to have games that mean something at both ends of the table on the final day... Birmingham vs Norwich Coventry vs QPR Ipswich vs Huddersfield Leicester vs Blackburn Plymouth vs Hull (ideally there's nothing riding in our game!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Largely irrelevant now after yesterday's results if we go on another winning run anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's exactly it, I can't see Ipswich or Leeds winning all their games. We just have to be focused and ready for each game and hope the Southampton game won't matter by then.

STEVIE B Posted 7 April Share Posted 7 April (edited) Basically 14 pts guarantees us at least 2nd place. Ipswich max points = 102 Leeds max points = 101 Millwall 1pt Plymouth 3 West Brom 3 Saints 1 Preston 1 Blackburn 3. That gives us 12 pts(100 in total). Maybe it’s a conservative prediction, maybe not, but gives us room to manoeuvre. Edited 7 April by STEVIE B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 7 April Share Posted 7 April Southampton are only 6 points ahead of WBA, they’ll still need a couple more wins to make sure they finish in the top 4 and get that play off second leg at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to reassure myself of this after the Bristol / QPR / Middlesbrough debacles Logic suggested we couldn't continue that badly and they both couldn't continue that well Amazed they each only have five games left..a nice three game blip and they are hopefully royally fcked Millwall, Plymouth & West Brom next 3 all got something to play for so won’t be easy but that’s a pretty decent run of games for our situation. West Brom are stuttering a bit too. Ipswich have a very tough run in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull, Cov and Boro still have alot to play for Just how it goes psychologically, I suppose- Leeds have been relentless (yesterday was their first loss of 2024) and Ipswich have just been finding a way week after week. It was starting to feel like they weren't going to slip up much, if at all. Highlights how important it is to keep winning and the amount of pressure that creates for the other teams.

It will be interesting to see how Leeds react now that they've been beaten this year. Remember when Southampton went on a long unbeaten run then lost 3 out of 4. Here's hoping that the same fate befalls Leeds 🤞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
