Thing is we have just beaten the most inform team (with more away wins than home wins) in the league on the back of beating the runaway league leaders in their own back yard. All that on top of beating a fairly decent Prem club. Mad eh? 😉

To add to the madness amongst that run we drew with a team in the bottom 3, makes it so hard to predict

All while feeling like we’re not really clicking every other game and having to grind it out. Think this international break will be huge for us if we can get everyone rested and fit

Would be interesting to see who we'll have away, assume Peretz will be off playing for Israel, Manning and Azaz have massive play off games for Republic of Ireland, Bragg perhaps Scotland u21s. Larin with Canada? Jander and Quarshie Germany u21s. Shea Charles with Northern Ireland. Does Matsuki play for Japan? 

Need as many of them to get a rest as possible

Yeah I don’t know what this idea is all about, keep seeing it said on here and it’s mental. 
 

Assuming Ipswich win their game in hand against the Skates we would essentially have to win all of our last 8 games and hope Ipswich drop 12 points, Boro drop 11 points and Millwall drop 8 points
 

It’s a nice idea but can we just focus on keeping hold out 6th for now. 

As things stand we're eight points behind Millwall and Ipswich (who have a game in hand) and ten points behind Middlesbrough and we have eight games to play. 

Can't see it myself but this is one hell of a run that we're having.

Yeah - I'm suggesting it in jest, but who knows.  we'd probably have to win 7 of the last 8 to go up autos, likely all 8. But they're all winnable, especially when Scienza is back.

I firmly believe the league this season isn't very good, but unfortunately we were shit for 3 months.

To put things in yo context, our recent good form over the past 13 games or so has seen us gain about 5 points on the top 2. It's be a miracle if we made it, but I guess you never know. A bit of pressure can do strange things to people.

Keep winning, it puts pressure on the other teams. If the AI ‘modelling’ is accurate, it’s only an eight percent chance the games will align in Saints favour, so very much not going to happen.

If we continue without a blip I believe we can overhaul Wrexham and Hull, the others are gone.

But someone is going to face a play-off after the disappointment of losing an automatic spot on the last day - I'd rather be us with momentum.
