Me too. Then we go into the last 3 games in the top 6 with 2 games against lowly opposition and a home game against average opposition to finish. If we can't do it from there them we have no business talking promotion anyway

We cannot lose.

I don’t think you’ve got anything to worry about from us, re nicking your spot (or Bristol City) as we’re not going to win our next four remaining games, just as you won’t lose your games against West Brom, Plymouth and Luton. Even if you lose to Middlesbrough last game of the season I think by then you’ll have already secured a play off place!
We’re away to Blackburn on Friday and have a poor record at Ewood Park. They’ve just got their new manager his 1st 3 points and their goal was scored by a player who’s just come back from injury. After 3 successive wins we’re due a loss so it might as well be against Blackburn as against our two consecutive home games coming up against Norwich and Swansea and then Burnley away last game of the season.

Mathematics my son. Mathematics.
We're in 6th. 7th are 3 points behind us. If we get a draw against WBA (think we will win) the other 2 can't catch us up this round of games.

thats far too much positivity
sometimes though it’s good to see how other fans see us,I’d agree with that,we’ll have 6th spot by the last game but could do with 5th if we can,I’ll admit this is a very pessimistic view, but my feeling is we might just be running out of steam. Players injured and scraping against lower league opposition. I think Middlesbrough and West Brom will find us out.
If we get in the play offs great, but I think we need another window to strengthen to be a truly formidable force in this league.

Kitching has been good. No beef with our defense, all their action (what little there was) came down the right, not because they targetted Da Silva, for once, but because it's all they had, and he managed it well overall. Soft goal but that's pretty much all the goals we've conceded. We should have scored a second, but it wasn't for lack of trying. Dust off and start again, injury worries in our midield the big problem vs WBA. Milwall definitely the in-form run in side now, despite their own pessimistic view above.

It always feels like a loss when you concede a late goal, but we are still in the playoffs by 3 points, with 4 games to go. We won't need a full return of wins to get there, but we really could do without losing to either West Brom or Middlesbrough.
I have a feeling this is going to make us all very stressed out, but I would happily take it if we can just win the next two games and be within touching distance a week from today.
There's so many mental results in this league, whilst we're occupied thinking about us blowing it, there are many other teams around us which are just as likely to fuck it up. Getting only a point today is frustrating, but it isn't the end of the world at all. We're just going to have to roll our sleeves up.

Lower league opposition, what are you on about?
Tonight was the best we've looked with the ball for weeks
Sorry poorly worded. As in teams in the bottom half. I admit we played well, but a point is a point.

Whilst I think about it, we could / should have been awarded 2 penalties this evening. Challenge on Sheaf, plus a handball.

Pathetic
he’s not blaming Collins but he’s got a point, watch the goal again, and see where their player who scored takes his first touch, Collins decision making is one of the reasons he puts the pressure on himself, chose to come for the Burnley goal but stayed at home for this one, swap decisions and we could be 4 points better off

Hi Sky blues.
A competitors view if that's okay as I watched your game tonight with added interest, obviously.
Apart from the finishing, I thought you were excellent and should have been out of sight.
A good result for us, don't get me wrong, but keep your chins up, I thought you were very good and Rudoni is some player!

He was at fault against Burnley but some want to blame him for the smallest thing . He was steady tonight and distributed well, especially some of his long passimg

Okay first I thought he could have rushed out and got it edge of box but on replay that seems bit harsh

Nice to be back from a game in 30 mins!
Thought we played really well tonight and, although it’s disappointing not get the win, we are three points clear of 7th with 4 games left - the bottom two still to play and other play-off contenders at home. We are still in a great position.

Looking back at the goal it's disappointing that Da Silva just hangs a leg out really, he needed to have blocked the player's view of the goal better.

Agreed, if he is off it's negligible, so not worth complaining about.

The Hull goal was so marginal its stupid to blame the officials, tough call. Were by far better than the set we had in the two games prior. Although we did have a valid penalty shout (RE: Sheaf) but I dont think the ref or Lino had a good view of it
