Well i think i finally got over the SU game, sometimes i wish i had a dog. So its out of our hands now and we have to hope one of them slip up and we win more than them Anything is possible and it is that tight it could turn on its head in a couple of games. Honestly think we are better team than both of them and the difference has been converting chances. Do not know if that's down to tactics or players but we are where we are. We are in the play offs which is what a lot of of us would have been happy with at beginning of season. Fact we are not too happy shows what a good season we have had. Still have faith in us to to be battling till last game and how good would it be if it came down to the last game. Fingers, legs and everything elsa crossed for rest of season, onwards and upwards.

i really don't think we have a better team than either NC or SU. We have a worse group of players than probably most of the top half of the table but Bielsa has us punching way above our weight. Results vs the top teams have been poor overall imo and that is what is undoing us along with a lack of a prolific striker for the whole season. Bamford could well be that missing link but he has been out most of the season.

Surely our results against the top teams have been better this season than for quite a few, whilst we haven't doubled up on some of them we've held our own.

Agreed we've beaten every team bar boro currently in the top six plus Derby, Bristol and Preston that are hovering around there.

I think if you look at our players as those one that were being coached by average coaches I think you would say we are punching above our weight
However, look at the same players this term as individuals and I disagree with the "punching above their weight"
Casilla is class
Ayling, pre-injury was sensational
Aloiski, is the best Championship left back I have seen since Douglas last year
Janssen's is Premier standard, always has been
Cooper is a top centre back this year
Phillips is a disciplined, effective defensive midfielder
Kilch is showing he is definitely a Polish international goalscoring midfielder
Roofe has been the most effective and intelligent centre forward in this league
Henandez is just the best player in the league by a country mile
We definitely are NOT flattering to deceive.

What axe said
You can flatter over a few games, but not over this lengrth of a season
League table in May does not lie, never does.

Some people don't remember we've been top two for most of the season, and only dropped out of the top three for one week. BRING ON THE CHAMPIONS :)
