If we win all our remaining games we will get to 72 points which will be good enough for a playoff place, but frankly we haven't set this league on fire at all and to let Leicester score 3 against us was and is shambolic.
If we do end up getting promoted this season by some small miracle how many goals will a half decent Prem side bash past us. I'd say about only half the players in our squad are good enough and the rest are fodder. For Cardiff to win this league it just shows how crap this league really is!
We drop down to 7th and now out of the playoff places Only time will tell if we can get back into the mix, but its going to go down to the last game of the season!
It is now squeaky bum time! We have to win every one of our matches including away to Cardiff to stand a chance!
Target 72 points :-[ We are 7th...just!

I think your spot on about the league being full of carp teams - nobody has impressed me at all. Not a single team we have played ive thought, "well theyre a good side, very organised and tough to beat"
nearly all times have been easy to score against, n that includes us!

pretty average I agree, but damn exciting!
One thing I would say is that whoever scrapes into 5th/6th should actually be more confident in the play offs than Watford who have blown automatic at the final hurdle.

Bit of a strange comment to say this league is crap. Its a really exciting league where anyone can beat anyone. It isn't crap. There aren't many oustanding teams because if they were oustanding they'd be in the prem. I don't think there is much between the top 6 in champ and the bottom 6 in the prem to be honest.
Leicester are a good side - the best i've seen at the Reebok this season. They've had a bit of a bad spell but they were always going to be a tough game for us. Looking at everyone fixtures i'd say 7 maybe even 6 points will be enough but there is no point even bothering to predict the scores. Last night only Leicester won out of the top 8. Crazy league. If we do go up i'll miss it a bit. Its gonna be an exciting run in!!

The results this season have been stark raving bonkers and I doubt it's going to stop now.
I really thought we'd get a point last night but even though we lost Forest did no better and so although we're now out of the playoffs one win will change it again. Every team bar Cardiff has seen some weird results this season and I honestly can't predict who'll finish 3rd to sixth. I do know it's not good for my blood pressure but it's certainly more exciting than some of our prem seasons were.

"Every team bar Cardiff has seen some weird results this season"
Cardiff got doubled by Peterborough - that's pretty weird!
Up to last weekend, with five games left, we were still technically within reach of automatic promotion and in danger of relegation - seems to be about 20 very evenly matched teams in this league
