    Stranger things have happened and I wouldn’t bet against it.

    I wasn’t really kidding…. None of us in the top 3 are showing what it takes…!

    It was toxic in the away end at full time…. Awful

    Argyle is the best atmosphere I’ve heard in England…. Epic support…. It was a sight to behold

    They were going nuts and considering it’s just over 16k…. They make a hell of noise…. I was really impressed

    they are always good value. made loads of noise on Tuesday and whilst you expect a little section of the home support to be noisy they are very loud.

    Amazingly bad main results although a couple of late equalisers prevented it from being a total disaster for my lot (despite rolling over at Hull).

    Bristol with a 111th minute penalty equaliser scored by an ex QPR player may be our saving...... but plenty of twists and turns at both ends over the next 3 weeks and don't want to rely on snookers!

    As Robins said, he could have subbed the whole 11 at half time against Birmingham and yet another own goal to throw momentum away.

    Well strangely if they win all their games (which include Leicester and Leeds) I think they'd go up. Madness.

    Still incredible that they managed to lose at Ipswich despite absolutely monstering Ipswich in that match and I reckon that would be the result that kills their top 2 chances.

    I'm sure nobody would fancy them in the play offs though.

    Edit looking at the fixtures Leicester have 3 of their last 4 at home so they should be fine to go up.

    Leeds have 2 tough away games then Southampton. Ipswich 2 away games but against teams that look like they'll just miss out on the play offs.

    If I was a betting man Ipswich will falter, Leicester will be OK and then it will be Leeds vs Saints for the final spot on the final day playing each other!

    It’s all to play for…. The only team I’m confident in is Southampton….

    Although we have West Brom who can’t really miss out on play offs and won’t want to get injured (I hope!)….

    One of our worst performances…. Heroics from Hamza….

    If you look at our underlying stats recently everything went against us regarding luck though, so I’ll take it!

    I wouldn’t want face WBA in the play offs

    I’ve always liked the Welsh!

    I'm all up for playing shit and scraping a 1-0 win on Monday.
    I think that's got you there now.
    I was sure a few weeks ago that 28 wins would get auto so auto is surely done a dusted.

    It’s still way too tight to call it, but I feel
    Better today than I did in Plymouth last Friday for sure…

    So many twists and turns this season….

    On 91 points we should have our flip flops on

    the bottom is also still far from resolved.

    we got to what should be the magic 50 points but are still not safe after Blackburn were turned over by Sheff Weds today; a Blackburn win would have wrapped it up for them and us due to goal difference.

    the Blackburn keeper making a mistake for the first and scoring an own goal with the most bizarre sliced clearance you'll see!

    2 games to go and still any 2 from 7! mental stuff, only 6 points separate them

    We've still got games against Hull, Ipswich, Blackburn and QPR so will have a massive say in the overall outcome.

    With the play-offs realistically gone and post the huge effort and disappointment yesterday having an FA Cup final snatched from us, it's hard to know which version of Cov will turn up for those matches. Ordinarily I'd make us favourite in all of them as only Blackburn is away, but I really like Hull as a side and playing them Wednesday is going to be a real struggle.

    you were robbed yesterday. one of my best mates is Cov and gutted for you all.

    you still have a chance of play offs, albeit slim and the FA Cup run will have taken a lot out of the players. But weirder things have happened

    Yes - just another quiet, humdrum, boring Leeds game.

    It should be plain sailing for Leicester but it’s still possible for them to finish third if they don’t win one of their last two games.

    It’s hard to see you failing now and with Southampton out if the race, we just need Ipswich to drop a couple of points now. And win our last two of course.

    Not a chance now.
    If us and Ipswich win our five remaining games I will be amazed.
    This game Friday night will show us how much we want it and its all set up for one of us to cock up.
    One things for sure is that it's been an amazing season.

    I really don’t think that Leicester will fail now, just that it is still mathematically possible.

    I’m just hoping that Leeds win on Friday and the pressure that puts on Ipswich causes them to falter. I really don’t want to be in the playoffs.

    Agree that Leicester look to have stumbled across the line (despite their financial irregularities ).

    I don't doubt for a moment that the Leeds players want it but they are a young squad coming off a great run and might well benefit from a further year in the EFL prior to the jump in quality to the PL. I'm mentally prepared for the play offs and wouldn't mind a successful second year in the division but I'm hoping we get second!

    Can't see Leicester letting it slip away now. Even at 4-0 up yesterday they were still hungry for that 5th goal. Mind you, I just hope that it's the same Southampton team that play us next Saturday!

    The problem with Leeds spending another year in the Championship is that we'd probably be doing it without many of the players who got us where we are right now. We've probably got the strongest squad in the league; not sure that it would be the same next year.

    I hope you get bugger all on Friday, but then i have a vested interest in our continued EFL survival; we could do with a point to make all the other bottom feeders panic on Saturday!

    should be a great atmosphere for our last home game of the season

    I wouldn’t expect it any other way and whilst I hope we win, I also hope that your guys stay up.

    Do you know any of the Hampshire whites.
    We should be meeting one for the Southampton game.

    I’m not so sure, QPR have been much the better team. Looks like it’s your night matey.
